Hi, Hi, I cannot use the Mozilla pdf viewer.

What I've tried : - in Preferences / Applications, there is no "Preview in Firefox" menu. Only "Always ask", "Save File", "use (default)" and "use other..." - in Add-ons / extensions, disable, reenable, remove, reinstall PDF Viewer. There is no Acrobat thing installed. - in about:config, checked that pdfjs.disabled is set to false.

I spent hours on it and I'm getting mad at this.

System is Gnu/Archlinux and Firefox is up-to-date.

Any ideas ? Thanks.

I'm having almost exactly the same issue, but on Mac with FF 38.0.5.
