Viewing image files of pre-1948 patents at the USP&TMO site requires a compatible Tiff file viewer. The one built into FF4 and previous versions does not work. Is there a plug-in for this? In the past AccelViewTiff worked. Quicktime doesn't work except on Safari. Mac OS X 10.5.8

No luck. I installed ToyViewer and instructed Firefox to use ToyViewer to view Tiff files, but it does not appear to work on the Patent Office site. The PO apparently uses some weird compression scheme that most Tiff viewers cannot handle. It was designed for the Netscape browser. Perhaps some kind patent junky will build a plug-in for Firefox that displays the Patent images?  : )
