10.5: View PDFs inline in Firefox 3

I don't know why this is listed as "10.5 only." There is no such restriction listed on the download page and in fact, I just installed it on 10.4 (running on PPC--not Intel) for what that's worth.

Having said that, there are two problems. The initial zoom factor is _way_ high and there is no "Open in Preview" in the contextual menu. (Actually, my default PDF viewer is Skim [why isn't yours 8^] and the expected contextual menu item should say "Open in Skim.")
