You can use the Firefox PDF plug-in =

<http://code.google.com/p/firefox-mac-pdf/> with =

any Camino 2.0pre build (including 2.0b1), as =

long as you're willing to

1) perform surgery on your Camino application =

(you'll have to repeat this with every new Camino =

you install/upgrade to) and

2) live with the bugginess of the plug-in (it =

periodically steals keyboard focus, making it =

impossible to switch tabs with the keyboard, for =

instance).

It *will not* work with Camino 1.6.x (and will =

actually prevent Camino 1.6.x from downloading =

PDFs).

<http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=3D4664815#p4664815> =

details how to get it working (download the =

plug-in's .xpi file and rename it .zip so that =

Mac OS X can automatically unzip it).
