Firefox PDF Download add on

This is a cool plugin for Firefox.
I already have a Adobe Acrobat plugin for Firefox that Adobe installs for viewing a PDF right in a browser window when you click on a PDF link such as this.

The new plugin will allow it to open faster.
But what I got the plugin for was for saving webpages.

Sure, you can go to File in the upper left corner of your browser and save a webpage right to your desktop in a folder, but it creates all the associated files on that page.
With the new plugin, you can save a webpage as a single PDF file, much more organized.
The option to save it as a PDF file will now appear in your File menu at the top left of your browser.

I just tried it with my homepage, and it works great.
However it stacks my pictures on top of each other instead of the three rows of two pictures side by side, and it also will not show my Flash table of contents.

But it is cool for saving a page as a single file.

I was thinking earlier today it would be cool if there was such a plugin, and I searched the Firefox site for PDF, and it was the first hit that popped up.
