pdf viewer for firefox coming

An article up on geek.com, This is what Firefox's built-in PDF reader looks like, helps spread the word.

Not long ago, Mozilla coders announced that they were starting to build PDF.js, a way to display Acrobat documents in the browser using pure web code. No longer will you have to fight with an external PDF plug-in in Firefox. Huzzah!

Here's the link for the xpi. The project page includes a demo link. Been testing it this morning and so far it looks pretty good. Only glitch I've been able to find is that it hangs up if you try to open a .pdf on your local filesystem.
