Firefox 19 Release Today Brings The PDF Viewer
Posted by Michael Larabel on February 19, 2013
Mozilla is releasing today version 19 of the Firefox web-browser. Firefox 19.0 is another exciting release on the feature front.
The most notable addition to Mozilla Firefox 19 is the built-in JavaScript-based PDF viewer. For viewing Adobe PDF files within the open-source web-browser, the PDF.js JavaScript engine is utilized.
Other changes to Firefox 19 include start-up performance improvements, support for the Remote Web Console to connect to Firefox on Android and Firefox OS for debugging web issues remotely, a new Browser Debugger for add-on/browser developers, and support for a few new CSS rules/attributes.
Mozilla has yet to issue the Firefox 19 release announcement but the Firefox 19 release binaries for all major operating systems can be downloaded from the Mozilla.org FTP server.
