Get more control on how PDF files gets downloaded with Firefox
By Ashish MohtaThere are times when you start downloading PDF files using Firefox either your Firefox browser gets hanged or it simply crashes. This is very annoying situation which many users face. Moreover there are no ways which you can download them as a different format like HTML.

However we have a solution for this. PDF Download Extension of Firefox you can set what should be down when the browser starts downloading the it. You can set it
- Ask what you want to do with the PDF file.
- Convert into HTML File if you want to see the content before downloading and saving it to your hard disk.
- Download it directly
- Open it in the browser automatically
- On top of all these it also tells you the file size of the PDF before you start downloading, opening or converting it.
- Allows you to setup your favorite PDF reader to view.
This plugin is very handy as it will give you more control and you will know the file size also which I had not see anywhere else.

Good tool, but I have DAP which integrates with Firefox and kicks in when you click a download link. It shows you the time estimated and file size, which are enough for me. Each man to his own, I guess
