Since updating to SM 2.53 I'm having "helper app" issues.
The most annoying is that PDFs no longer open in the browser. Going to
the helper app, I set it to open in SM or always ask but it stays on
always ask. I seem to remember reading this this version was going to
break a bunch of legacy plug ins. Could this be that?
Also for JPGs I have it set to Always Ask but it is opening in SM every
time no matter what helper apps is set to. What gives? I tried setting
it to save and it won't change.

Since 2016, I have been using the PDF Viewer extension in place of the
Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in. I have version 2.2.255, installed 4-Feb-20.
I do not know if that version is compatible with SeaMonkey 2.53. I do
know that several extensions that I use frequently are not compatible.
I have archived version 2.2.255. Reply to this newsgroup thread if you
want a copy, and I will upload it to my Web site for you to download.
I have had one problem with this extension. When I access my latest
bill from Southern California Edison via the Web, I cannot print it via
the extension. It prints. However, the amount due is close to the
right edge of the PDF file; and the cents amount is cut off. The
extension allows me to download the PDF, and I successfully print it via
Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
The later version 2.3.200 is available from
<https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/getting_started/#download>, but I do
not know if this is compatible with 2.49.5 or 2.53.
NOTE: The functionality of the PDF Viewer extension is incorporated
into the latest "vanilla" versions of Firefox.
One last comment: I stopped updating Adobe's Acrobat Reader with
version 11.0.23.22. I do not want to use Adobe's cloud system (or
anyone else's), and I really do not like the user interface of the
various DC versions of Acrobat Reader.
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. However, I do have version 2.2.255 archived.
