  • Latest version

    Version 2.2

    Released 12 Jul 2023 - 10.42 kB
    Works with firefox 109.0 and later
    Read first!!!

    You may need to update the permissions for this plugin again by following the Setup section at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/viewpdfinbrowser/

    Change log.

    Update URL matching regular expression.

    I noticed that for certain PDFs they were still downloading.

    This was due to the URl matching regex not picking up URLs that included
    query params, fragments or paths.

    .e.g. ?version=1656754949 at the end of the URL would break the URL matching regex.

    This would cause the plugin to not even run on that URL so there would be no header rewrite.

    Added more edge cases to handle web servers that return strange headers for PDFs.

    TLDR: This should now work with more PDFs.
