I couldn't resist trying the Mozilla extension mentioned at W3C,
namely http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_rubysupport.html.en

Just a word of warning about this - it seemed to have wrecked
Mozilla's PDF plugin. Every subsequent attempt to view a PDF file had
got me a hung instance of Acrobat Reader, and had also hung all my
Mozilla windows until I brutally killed the Acrobat Reader process.

After de-installing the Ruby plug-in, PDF viewing is working again
without problems. Well, the author /does/ have a disclaimer,
http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_rubysupport.html.en#problems ,
so I've no cause to grumble, but I thought that - having posted
the above mention - I'd better add this caveat.
