I'm running the pdf.js Firefox extension version 0.2.247 on Mac OS X. When I try to open a file on from my hard drive from a file:// URL, by dragging it over Firefox, using File->Open, or by following a link from a webpage served from a file:// URL, the pdf.js Firefox extension appears to ignore it. Instead, I get the "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog with an option to save it or open it in Preview. pdf.js works great on remote sites.
