Firefox 19 adds PDF reader

Firefox 19 is released today and will add an integrated PDF reader. Since Mozilla moved to faster iterations of Firefox, like Chrome, we rarely see big changes in updates, so a PDF reader is big news. You can already download it here for Windows and Mac.

From the Firefox beta notes, we can see the biggest changes are the new built-in PDF viewer and some startup performance bugs. First impressions are that startup is faster: Firefox now seems to open almost as quickly as Chrome, which is a great improvement.
