What is it?
Mozilla-tiff-plugin is a plugin for viewing tiff images on browser. It does not rely on any external application for viewing. A major chunk of the codebase is taken from mozilla-bonobo package.
Why?
The available tiff plugins for the browser was mozplugger which spawned any application of our choice to show images on the browser. The problem with it was that when clicking on multiple images, the application would open a new window and then get back to the browser and when the number of images clicked in new tabs increased, the application would not get into the browser too. System would become unusally slow too. So I needed a more smooth and less memory consuming replacement.
