To achieve 'direct rendering' of a PDF file in Firefox you can use
mozplugger with the 'stream' flag set. But the drawback that evince is
open relative paths to an other pdf in a new window remains (should I
open a new Bug concerning this?)


Example /etc/mozpluggerrc
---------------------------
application/pdf:pdf:PDF file
application/x-pdf:pdf:PDF file
text/pdf:pdf:PDF file
text/x-pdf:pdf:PDF file
        repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill stream: evince "$file"
        ACROREAD()
        repeat noisy swallow(kpdf) fill: kpdf "$file"
        repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"
        repeat noisy swallow(okular) fill: okular "$file"
        GV()
        repeat noisy fill exits stream: evince "$file"
---------------------------
