It can't use on Firefox 4.0.1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install the plug-in from .xpi file.
2.Showed the error message that means it is incompatible with Firefox 4.0.1.

What version of the plug-in are you using? Which version of Firefox?
> plug-in's version is latest version. Version of Firefox is 4.0.1 (latest)

I want to ensure the compatibility with Firefox 4.0.1.

I also have it installed in Firefox 4.0.1 and have enabled it using Firefox's 
Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension, but it doesn't work.  Attempting to 
view a PDF file results in a file download box instead of viewing the contents 
in the browser.

The compatibility reporter extension is available at:

An update for anyone else who finds this.  The download link on this project's 
home page is currently for version 1.1.3 of the plugin which only supports 
pre-4.0 versions of Firefox.

The latest source code checked into this project *does* support Firefox 4.0, 
but only in 32-bit mode.  Firefox 4.0.x runs in 32-bit mode on 10.5.x, but runs 
in 64-bit mode by default on 10.6.x if you have a 64-bit capable CPU.

I've attached an .xpi build of the latest sources (-r108) that have a version 
number of 1.2.0.  It *does* work in Firefox 4.0 (and 4.0.1), but only in 32-bit 
mode.  If you're running Snow Leopard (10.6.x) you will have to "Get Info" on 
the Firefox application and set it to open in 32-bit mode in order for this 
plugin to work.

Also, even though Firefox 4.0 dropped PPC support, the attached plugin includes 
PPC support in case you are using the tenfourfox 
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/ version.

I am unable to get x-quartz-pdf-1.2.0.xpi to work. I set Firefox 4.0.1 to run 
in 32 bit mode, install the xpi file, and restart Firefox. The xpi installs 
both an extension and a plug-in. When I open a PDF, I get the file download 
dialog, just like when there is no pdf plugin installed. I have tried this on 2 
systems: a Mac Mini and an iMac, both running 10.6.7 64bit. Is there something 
else I need to do to make this work?

I just tested it with a clean install of Firefox 4.0.1 in 10.6.7.  Then setting 
it to 32-bit mode.  Then installing the extension via the above download link 
(first download it then open it with Firefox).  I also got an extension and 
plugin installed.

Then I opened a PDF (like for example this bash scripting guide 
http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf) and it displayed in firefox in the 
plugin just fine.  Perhaps you have some other extension and/or plugin 
installed that is interfering with fx-quartz-pdf?

Did not work for FF 5.00 either BUT changed file to allow maximum version of 
5.0.* and now works with FF 5 without any problems - except still need to be 
set for 32 bit as described.

How did you changed the file? if it is a technical thing (I suppose you used 
some developer tool) please upload your FF5-working version.
Bye.

@mackyle: Thank you for your update and thank you for compiling a PPC version.  
I'm running 1.2.0 on TenFourFox 4.0.2 on my PowerMac G4.  It seems to work 
great for me.

I did notice, however, that Firefox 3.6.18 won't use version 1.2.0 - it says 
that the version is incompatible.  I don't know if it is really incompatible or 
if the browser just thinks so.  If the extension is compatible, can you modify 
it to let FF3 load it?  If it is truly incompatible, could there be some way to 
install both 1.2.0 and 1.1.3 at the same time, so FF3 can use 1.1.3 and FF4 can 
use 1.2.0?  (I'm not yet convinced that TenFourFox is stable enough for me to 
uninstall my copy of FF3.)
