No PDF Download

Opens all PDF files directly in the browser.

What is No PDF Download?

'No PDF Download' is a valuable Firefox add-on that allows direct viewing of all PDF files in your browser. It mitigates the automatic downloads or triggering of a 'Save as'-dialog. You can still save any needed PDF by using keyboard shortcuts after viewing. This add-on relies on Firefox settings being adjusted to 'Preview in Firefox' under Applications > PDF. The add-on may be less effective when web servers fail to identify a file as PDF, resulting in unwanted downloads. For any issues, users are encouraged to send problematic URLs to the support email for prompt assistance.

Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

While most PDF files can be viewed directly in the browser some PDFs will trigger a "Save as"-dialog or will be downloaded automatically. This addon views all PDF files directly in the browser. You can still save the PDF by pressing CTRL+S (or CMD+S) after viewing them.

Please make sure that the setting under Firefox > Preferences > Applications > PDF is set to "Preview in Firefox" in order for this addon to work.

Some web servers are misconfigured and don't tell the browser that a file is a PDF. In this case the file will still be downloaded even when this addon is active. If you encounter a PDF that is downloaded feel free to send the URL to the support email address so I can check if this it's a bug in the addon or just a server issue.
