What about Save As PDF (Score:4, Interesting)
I would be impressed if they included a Save As or Print To PDF File option like Google Chrome browser does.

The Mozilla PDF viewer is written in javascript, so it *should* be completely sandboxed.

Firefox uses less memory than Chrome these days.
Plus, Firefox is just as fast as Chrome, typically.
And, finally and most importantly, Firefox has a zillion useful extensions. Like NoScript and Adblock.
Chrome is fine, but I don't like how it handles tabs (I use TabMixPlus on Firefox), and I *really* hate how hard it makes it to access bookmarks. Yes, you can solve the bookmark issue with extensions, but none of them are *quite* right.

Definitely faster than PDF plugin. I've been using the pdf.js plugin since it first appeared. I'd never go back to the plugin.
