How to view tiff files in firefox

I suspect Firefox's crappy support for itself as a MIME type handler makes this stupidly difficult, even though it's a killer feature. Hi there. As you pointed out yourself this is not really a limitation of the extension as such but in how Firefox handles files loaded directly. This extension was written specifically to handle the case when a TIFF file was included in a page, and hence cause the web browser to make a request for such a file.

When you load a file locally it doesn't cause such a request and the extension can not pick it up. I will look into adding the ability to pick up direct TIFF file opens, it should be possible, so look for that in a future version : EDIT: I did look into it and extensions can not register file handlers, only applications can do that and applications can not do some of the other things that this extension needs, like intercept page requests.

Now is there any way we can show up TIF images in chrome and Firefox? We can not afford to change the image format neither we can convert the images at the server side as we have no control over the input images.

Good point Is your image broken into tiles, or is it all in one piece? If it's all one piece, you could make a data URL out of the converted version and pass that to the simple image tile source:. Yes the process you mentioned above is working for single page image.

Unfortunately for Multi page i couldn't find a work around. Thanks a lot for your support. What sort of issues are you getting when you try to do so? What does the code look like? If so yes the solution is working fine. So i thought i could handle this Multi page TIFF conversion at server side using my own code or some professional tool. I see The conversion tool isn't working with multi-page TIFF.

Improve this answer. Richard Ev Richard Ev I kept TIFF images in local system only. As per the specification, i should not convert into another format.

Is it right? I'd recommend downloading it assuming you're using Windows and trying it out. Chrome Extension: chrome. Show 2 more comments.
