Does anyone know what the deal is these days with lots of
web sites and PDF files? (I just encountered one on my online
pharmacy for instance, and back at the beginning of the
year when trying to access my W2 forms online).

I have no problem with a simple link to a real PDF file, but
now sites are doing some kind of magic voo-doo that (on
Windows, where it works) pops up the PDF in a new window
which has some sort of magic toolbar that appears when you
mouse over it.

I have no idea what kind of thing is being used to display
this, or why so many web sites think it is a good idea
to prevent their customers from accessing the site on
linux. All I get on linux is an about:blank new window
where nothing appears.

Anyone know if this nonsense has a name I can search
for or better yet, a firefox plugin that will enable me
to just access the damn PDF file?
