Tried it with Firefox, no go
Authored by: silas on Jan 20, '05 11:14:59AM

Just confirming that the new plugin doesn't seem to work with non-Safari browsers. I removed the Shubert plugin and reloaded Firefox, and it went back to its old ways of asking what app to open a PDF URL with.

If anyone is able to shuffle things around so that Firefox or other browsers can use this plugin, let us know!

I am using version 2.0.1 and it works great in FireFox.

Read for comprehension. He's talking about the Adobe PDF plugin (the new one being mentioned in this hint).

Then clearly, Shubert is the better plug-in, why bother with Adobe?

Because some of us use Safari and like to search PDF contents (or use any of the dozen other features present only in the Adobe plugin).

Additionally, this plugin costs nothing to commercial users while Schubert costs quite a bit.
