Thank you.  I downloaded PDF Viewer 2.3.233 from that Web site,
installed it, and it works very well.

President Trump removed Rick Bright from heading the
government's development of a vaccine against the
COVID-19 virus.  The reason was that Bright would not
endorse Trump's assertion that hydroxychloroquine might
cure COVID-19.  Is it possible that Trump was motivated
by his and his family's investments in a major producer
of hydroxychloroquine?

Since 2016, I have been using the PDF Viewer extension in place of the
Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in.  I have version 2.2.255, installed 4-Feb-20.

I do not know if that version is compatible with SeaMonkey 2.53.  I do
know that several extensions that I use frequently are not compatible.
I have archived version 2.2.255.  Reply to this newsgroup thread if you
want a copy, and I will upload it to my Web site for you to download.

I have had one problem with this extension.  When I access my latest
bill from Southern California Edison via the Web, I cannot print it via
the extension.  It prints.  However, the amount due is close to the
right edge of the PDF file; and the cents amount is cut off.  The
extension allows me to download the PDF, and I successfully print it via
Adobe's Acrobat Reader.

The later version 2.3.200 is available from
, but I do
not know if this is compatible with 2.49.5 or 2.53.

NOTE:  The functionality of the PDF Viewer extension is incorporated
into the latest "vanilla" versions of Firefox.

One last comment:  I stopped updating Adobe's Acrobat Reader with
version 11.0.23.22.  I do not want to use Adobe's cloud system (or
anyone else's), and I really do not like the user interface of the
various DC versions of Acrobat Reader.



Oops!!  The link for 2.3.200 is for JavaScript to embed in a Web page.
Apparently with Firefox and Chrome now using webextensions, .xpi
versions of the PDF Viewer extension are no longer being developed or
distributed.  However, I do have version 2.2.255 archived.

	I can't say for sure but at some point (either 2.49 or 2.53; I don't 
recall which) I found that trying to view a PDF attached to an email 
would open a blank window.  If I close the window and try again, it 
works.  For me, it's an annoyance, but a minor one, so I'll deal with it.


Dunno if that information helps much, but at least it's another data 
point.
