Trouble Using Firefox Plug-in to View PDFs in Browser Window
Hello,
Not sure if this has been discussed before, but while in the past I could open PDFs in my browser window from Zotero with no problem, now I'm being prompted to select which application to use to open that file - and the Adobe PDF plug-in for Firefox isn't one of the available options, so that I can only choose (in my case) PDF X-Change viewer, which opens outside the browser. Does anyone know how I set things back to the way they were? I'm not actually sure why the settings changed in the first place - I didn't do anything to cause this, in so far as I'm aware ....
Thanks!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Then, make sure that your about.config "lauchnonnativefiles" is set to "false" (which is the default, but I had changed it while trying to fix the problem). See: http://www.zotero.org/support/hidden_prefs
Good luck!
I would like to suggest adding this feature to Zotero: a choice as to whether pdf's called through Zotero should open in Firefox or in their associated application.
