Firefox HTML5 PDF Reader Pictured

Back in the June, we’ve posted an article detailing the possibility of the built in PDF Reader in the Firefox web browser.

How is it different from any of its competitors? It uses HTML5 to render the documents.

As you can see in the screenshot above, the current development version already includes the basic functionality, such as: zoom in and out as well as few navigation buttons for everyday use.

If you would like to give it a try, click on the following link to download the .XPI package.
