Yes, I read about it but I don't want Flash of any kind really. If it is anything like the Fx builtin PDF viewer it is a pile of junk. That PDF viewer is awful. The font is unreadable. Besides why would I want to read PDF inside the browser? I want PDF downloaded to disk and scanned for viruses and then read offline and I use Evince (the Windows version). > > PDF.js hasn't been incorporated into Seamonkey, but I think it's > available as an extension; Shumway also apparently is available as a > xpi.
