Oops!! The link for 2.3.200 is for JavaScript to embed in a Web page. Apparently with Firefox and Chrome now using webextensions, .xpi versions of the PDF Viewer extension are no longer being developed or distributed.

Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> President Trump removed Rick Bright from heading the government's development of a vaccine against the COVID-19 virus. The reason was that Bright would not endorse Trump's assertion that hydroxychloroquine might cure COVID-19. Is it possible that Trump was motivated by his and his family's investments in a major producer of hydroxychloroquine? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
