Warning

Currently Firefox is only able to download PDF files - this will allow you to save a copy and view them on your local machine. If you want to view PDF files inside your browser (online), there are two options:

  • Download and use Google Chrome
  • Download and Install the PDF plugin from Firefox. Note: Adobe's Plugin for Firefox is also broken and will cause major browser issues - do not use it.
