Why can't I print out a PDF file when I am on Firefox? It takes me to Preview to print instead of staying on Firefox.

When I go to a website that has a PDF file and try to print it, it sends me to Preview and when I try to print, the computer freezes up. This does not happen on Safari. Why can't I print a PDF file when I am on Firefox?

To print a PDF, you need to use the print command from the PDF reader plugin instead of firefox's one. If there is no icons bar in the plugin, try right-click on a page from the pdf -> Print.
