[gentoo-user] TIFFs in FireFox?

[Justin Hart]

I am trying to view images from the USPTO off of their website, which
appears to use TIFF as the image format (scanned images of patents). 
How do I incorporate TIFF functionality into FireFox?  There do not
appear to be any USE flags on firefox that apply to this.

You need to use plugin for TIFF images. Just like what you do with Flash and 
JAVA. You can either use Plugger or mozplugger to do it. These plugins will 
provide lots of additional functionalities including audio, video, MIDI files 
playback and viewing of TIFF, PNG, BMP, Photoshop and other formats.

I am personally using mozplugger and use imagemagick as a viewer for TIFF 
images.
