hi to all

i want to share my new knowledge about to view a pdf inside firefox, so the right idea is to create a new archwiki page. unfortunately i have no time to create and correct its (i'm not english), so i post here , hoping that someone can create it

this is a draft:

title: Mozplugger

if you want to use evince to open a pdf/ps or any other document supported by evince, inside firefox, and not to open a new window, this is possible and you just follow this simple instructions:

- install mozplugger (in this moment is in AUR)

- delete ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/pluginreg.dat (as mentioned after mozplugger installation)

- edit /etc/mozplugger: find the line containing "pdf" word, after "GV()" edit evince line as below:

   #repeat noisy fill exits: evince "$file"
   repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file"

- finally close (if not yet) and reopen firefox (now you can see a new plugin called mozplugger)

- try to open a pdf sample

This page looks like a good place to add it, instead of creating a new one.

this looks a good idea!

i've added it in that page

and added an entry in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_Plugins

both need to review
