by Firefox user 14519704, 6 years agoBefore I used Rikaichan and back then you could use the extension with pdf files open with firefox as well. For some reason, now pdf files opened with firefox will not show the pop-up window. Can you fix this? Also, if you could make this work with epub files it would be awesome.
EDIT: Thanks a lot for clarifying this problem, I have edited my review as this is something that the extension itself cannot solve. I used the link that you provided, this opens some unrelated pdf file and from then I opened my own pdf file within the same window and the plugin now works as it did before. Can you please explain what's special about that pdf tab that makes the extension work?

posted 6 years agoUnfortunately there's nothing I can do about PDF files for now due to changes in Firefox that mean extensions can't interact with the PDF viewer (see bug 1454760 - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1454760). Some people have been able to work around this by using the PDF viewer at https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html and then opening a different file from the toolbar in the upper right.
