Greetings;

I have NDI how it came to be FF-2.0.0.9's fav pdf renderer, it didn't show
in an about:config, nor did it show up in the kde file associations, all
of which were set to use acroread for viewing a pdf.

But somehow, firefox seemed to think it had to use evince, which worked
fairly well & fast, but just one HUGE problem. All the characters were
rendered in the correct left to right order, but they were mirrored right
to left! Veddy difficult to read needless to say.

I've had the same experience. Here's the magic bullet.

While reading the fedora list a while ago, Aaron Konstam posted a great tip.


"But to do what you want got to: about:config
Change:
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions to false

The in: Edit->Preferences->Content->Manage you can make firefox any
program you want to open pdf files."


Got it thanks to a previous message from Claude, thanks Paul.
