Firefox STILL has no inline support for PDF documents on OS X. That’s a major disappointment for me and shortcoming on the part of Firefox for OS X. Safari, Opera, and any other browser I can think of, OS X or Windows, can display PDFs inline within the browser, without resorting to downloading, installing (and thence constantly updating) a browser plugin.
