Firefox 19 rilasciato con il lettore PDF integrato

Nuovo rilascio per Firefox, il browser di casa Mozilla che con questo rilascio arriva alla release 19. La novità principale di Firefox 19 (o meglio l’unica) è la presenza del lettore PDF integrato, lettore che in verità era già possibile attivare dai settaggi avanzati nella precedente versione, ma che ora giunge preattivato e nella versione finale giudicata adatta all’uso di tutti i giorni.
