I'm using Seamonkey on Mac OS X and use "PDF Browser Plugin"
downloadable here:

I am very happy with the PDF Browser Plugin. It lets me view and print
.pdf documents from within a browser window.
If the "PDF viewer" is built into future SeaMonkey releases, can I
continue to use the "PDF Browser Plugin" or will this plugin become
incompatible with SeaMonkey?
Thanks,
Paul.
I don't think the PDF Viewer will ever be built into SeaMonkey as it
is in Firefox since version 19.0.
Firefox users can change the Helper Application to use a plugin, or
open the PDF in a standalone viewer, or save the PDF for viewing
later, or use the default built-in viewer.
SeaMonkey users can install the development version of pdf.js from
[mozilla/pdf.js ยท GitHub](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/)
No, PDF Viewer (pdf.js engine) doesn't edit; but on Linux and, I
suspect, also on other OS, the PDF viewer tab has a top
right-hand-button that opens another operating-system viewer (editable),

that must be set in "Edit, Preferences, Browser, Helper Applications,
PDF document (application/pdf)".

I suspect that might also be the case with Windows, and perhaps Macs?
Linux-KDE desktop environment, default to Okular PDF application, which
will edit, save-as, and print.
Linux-Unity or Gnome desktop environments, default to Evince PDF
application, that edits, save-as, and prints the form.
Basically, most Linux distros conform to user-choice of PDF apps.
