I have a small application with a directory that holds Word documents. I want to enable the user to view the documents within the browser. To have a list of the documents and when the users clicks on a document he will see the document on the right panel.
How can I view a Word document (doc/docx) inside Firefox?
I thought of a few options:
- Convert the document to HTML – but it’s too problematic and I need to hold both the original version and HTML version.
- Use an extension – any ideas for such an extension?

There’s this extension.
The post is from 2008, but it does mention Firefox v3 so it might work with the latest versions of FF.
I’ve just checked and it doesn’t work with FF 3.6.

You could convert the documents to PDF, and then use Google’s online PDF viewer to view them, this way the users don’t need any special plugins installed.
