If you don't mind www.debian-multimedia.org, then install
mozilla-acroread.

mozplugger, from the main debian archive:

Description: Plugin allowing external viewers to be launched inside Mozilla
mozplugger allows you to seamlessly integrate external applications
to view files downloaded from the web that Mozilla can not normally
handle. The application is embedded within a Mozilla window as to act
like and feel like a true plugin.

more info, I just tried mozilla-acroread and i had the same affect as
what I have now, when I tell mozilla to load the pdf inline, it opens
another window, I am using the pdf download ff plugin, which used to
work really well, I would click on a link to a pdf and I would be
presented with the option to download, save etc..

when I click download it is meant to open a new tab and display in
there. it opens the new tab but then starts a new window for xpdf

this is the relevant line

repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"

In order to track this down to [ bug | configuration ] I'd suggest you
temporarily move your .mozilla directory out of the way (when all
firefoxes are closed), say
$ mv .mozilla backupmozilla

in order to force iceweasel to create a new profile for you. (Cleaner
still you could temporarily create a new user 'testmozilla' and test on
that account).

Does it work that way?

HTH,
Johannes

Can you change it to:

repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf "$file"

and see if that makes a difference?

big difference, it still created another window for xpdf, but this time
nothing was in that windows (xpdf did not show any text)
