Tried with Iceweasel 17...
I seem to remember that 1, it didn't work with NoScript on
So in the end you came to say that it doesn't work for your pc yet.

Originally posted by Chaz View PostWell when they came out with their Javascript PDF reader it mostly worked, but not as well as standalone readers already available, and there was no reason whatsoever to use it. And Mozilla themselves would post messages saying, "this document may not have rendered correctly (even when it did), you should probably use a different PDF reader!" No kidding guys, so why have you changed my settings to use this one? I expect Shumway to be similar. At least there is a decent reason to create it, given the problems with Flash and Adobe's dropping support.
By the way, is the Firefox PDF reader good yet? Is there any reason at all to use it?
I imagine Shumway will never really be usable compared to the outdated linux flash plugin provided by Adobe. That's ok though, because hopefully by the time Shumway catches up, we won't even need flash players!

While pdf.js has got a lot better since I first tried it (I still try it once in a while to see how it's doing) it still can't beat a proper document viewer written in a sensible language.

People do not want ads.
Reason people install Flash is to watch porn, not to watch ads.
So porn is the only thing that is keeping Flash alive.

While the porn sites have HTML5 on mobile but only Flash on PC?
Why can't they enable it also on PC? This way Flash will be no longer needed...
