    Add a CSS tag to highlight .pdf links:
    a[href$="pdf"]{
    background-color: red;
    }

    Pretty much every browser has this kind of capability.

    Why don't you take action yourself? You could associate PDFs with XPDF or other lightweight viewer. You could have firefox run a custom program of your own that converts the PDF into HTML and then opens it up. You could write a Greasemonkey script that annotates PDF links. If you're not a coder, put in a request for it on the Greasemonkey Wiki.

    You're whining like a child.
