Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acroread
My issue is, that I only recently added acroread to my installed
packages, becaue normally I do only use open source readers. I then had
to find out that I now do not only have acroread as an additional
option, but that I HAD to use it, because now all PDF documents in
Firefox open within Firefox via the acroread plugin.
This is not acceptable. no other PDF reader enforces that and I consider
this an intrusion into my open source environment. I therefore request
that this plugin is not installed by default any more!
