Hi Jan-Christoph,

thank you for your reply. You´re right, I never opened a pdf file in FF 
before so i couldn´t compare the quality to OC . My bad.
But my problem still remains: I cannot close the pdf view. I do not see 
any cross botton to do so.

Browser: Chrome  25.0.1364.172 m
OC: 5.0

Cheers

Christian
