How To View PDF Files As HTML In Firefox

in Firefox, Tips and Tricks
Firefox 3 browser does not have any feature to view PDF files in it. In fact it downloads the PDF files and opens them in your Adobe Reader (Foxit Reader recommended), which is a double pain for most of us.
To directly view them in your browser, I use a Firefox extension called PDF Download. Using this addon, you can do whatever you like with the PDF files online. PDF Download by Nitro PDF Software is the leading tool for handling and viewing Web-based PDF files and is enjoyed by millions of Firefox users every day. The browser extension removes the pain often experience when encountering PDF files online, and now lets you quickly convert your Web pages into high-quality PDFs that are ideal for archiving, printing and sharing.

in Firefox, General, Tips and Tricks
Back in April 2007, Opera released Opera 9.2 which had a very interesting feature called Speed Dial. It lets you visit your favourite and most websites quickly from a grid of 9 thumbnails and opens up whenever you open a new tab or window. Many people wanted Mozilla to add this feature in Firefox 3, but wasn’t due to some reasons. There is no need to get disappointed, because now you can add the same feature in Firefox also.
Firefox Ultimate Optimizer

in Firefox, Freewares, Softwares, Tips and Tricks
Firefox is everyone’s favourite browser! I love the tabbing feature. I can open as many tabs as I want. The only thing I don’t like about Firefox is its memory hogging habit. My Firefox eats about 70MB of RAM with only two or three tabs opened. Sick, isn’t it?
Would you like it, if your Firefox memory usage becomes to only 100-200K? No, I’m certainly not joking! It’s seems like a miracle, but I have no idea how Firefox Ultimate Optimizer drastically reduces the browser’s craving for memory and CPU. This little app doesn’t have any configuration options and sits in your system tray all the time.
