I recently was forced to update my Adobe Acrobat Reader from v11 to
v2019.021 (Reader DC) because I encountered an important .pdf file
which wouldn't open in the older version.
I also have the Adobe Acrobat Plugin v19.21 activated on SeaMonkey
v2.49.5.
Ever since installing the Acrobat Reader update, I've been having
intermittent problems opening .pdf files in SeaMonkey. Sometimes the
page will say "done", but the display will be blank. Sometimes
re-loading the page corrects the problem, but not always. If I save
the page to my desktop as a .pdf file, Acrobat Reader will open it in
its own window.
I went into Preferences->Helper Applications and changed the settings
to "Use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC". Now when I click on a .pdf file in
a web page, the file opens properly but in a separate Acrobat Reader
window. I would much prefer to have it open as before in the
SeaMonkey window. How do I do that? Thanks!

Do you have the PDF viewer extension installed?
It should appear in the Actions column of Helper Applications and you
can select it.
No, I was not aware of this extension. It only has been downloaded 46
times and has no reviews, so I'm a bit hesitant to try it.
It wasn't required before, so why would it be required now? There ought
to be a better way.
John
It is not required. Looks like it has 140 users to me.

The better way for me is to use Firefox which doesn't allow the Adobe
Acrobat Plugin anymore and has a built-in PDF viewer.
I hope someone comes along with a solution to your problem.
