By default, documents you open from a browser are automatically loaded using the associated application with it. Some application can be slow to load specially if your system is already busy on other tasks. It is faster to open the said document right from your browser which the processor is already working on. If you have Google Docs account, you can use it to open any PowerPoint, PDF, DOC and DOCX directly from your Firefox browser by using an Add-On called gViewer. This extension works like your default PDF Plugin, once installed, just click the link of a document and it's opens automatically in Google Viewer. With the extension, you won't have to install PDF reader or even MS office just to view and read a document.
You can also configure the file types it can handle by opening the browsers add-on manager and click Options for gViewer. gViewer supports Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and up. For this article, I tested it with Firefox 3.6.12 under Windows 7 Os.
