I uninstalled PDF viewers and always use pdf.js to view PDFs these days.

I guess pdf.js will be advantageous if you are using browser always.

Most of the times, I have multiple pdf files open side by side. So I had a pdf viewer in the machine.

You can rest assured that 99% of Firefox users won't do that.
