 * Previously the plugin had a “link behavior” setting, not tied to the now-defunct“
   enhanced viewer” functionality. If I can get a chance I’ll try to figure out 
   why it’s not always available or visible in the current version.

 * Yaniv,
 * The “view.php” links are outdated and refer to the enhanced viewer feature that
   was discontinued in version 2.5.15. I don’t see that link anywhere in the source
   of the page you specified, and the viewer instances on the page as far as I can
   tell are working correctly. Perhaps it’s following links from an older version
   of the page, based on a previous indexing? Not sure, but it doesn’t look like
   an issue with your site as it is currently.

 * When I visit that URL, the web page that loads also has that HTML, not a PDF 
   document. Please check your document link in your browser before adding it to
   the viewer.

   changed their viewer code. Please see the plugin home page for more information

 * If you’re running a Linux/Apache type site it’s possible to work around this 
   restriction with some creative edits to your .htaccess file. This is not supported
   in GDE officially, so your mileage may vary and you may have to experiment with
   it on your own. A sample file looks something like [this](http://pastebin.com/vA1NxLwZ).
 * Again, you’re on your own with this workaround but hopefully it will point you
   in the right direction.

 * Again, that information is easily found in the plugin [FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-document-embedder/faq/).
   Your WordPress site can run on localhost and still use GDE; but make sure that
   the file URL you put in the shortcode links to a document that is publicly accessible:
 * `[gview file="http://somerealsite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/java01.
   ppt"]`
 * for example.

 * Minor clarification – you must move your _document_ to a publicly accessible 
   web server to use the plugin. Your site can still remain on localhost if need
   be. Details about this are in the plugin FAQ.

 * A possible underlying cause for this issue was detailed in [this post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-insert-images-if-gde-active-and-wp-debug-set-to-true-with-solution?replies=3).
 * The fastest and easiest solution is to disable GDE’s editor integration setting,“
   Insert shortcode from Media Library by default” in the Advanced section of GDE
   Settings. If you’re comfortable changing options manually in the database, it’s
   possible to manually enter a value for the particular setting that seems to be
   blank in current versions of WordPress.

 * Along with Dan I would encourage you toward actively developed projects if they
   meet your needs. That said, another reason one particular browser (in your case
   Firefox) may not display a document in GDE is because of some weird cookie behavior.
   Try clearing Google-related cookies from the affected browser, or alternately
   logging out (and then back in, if you wish) to clear or reset cookies that may
   be stuck in an expired-ish sort of state.

 * Thanks Don, those are interesting observations. It’s not immediately clear how
   GDE would interact with these database values you mention – it certainly doesn’t
   expect or call upon them in and of itself; though it’s true that the editor integration
   for WP 3.6 or so and higher did require the image_default_link_type setting to
   be ‘file’ in order to work properly I’d never encountered a scenario where it
   affected the overall operation of WordPress if it wasn’t set in that manner (
   comparably few people were using that method in GDE at that time, though, in 
   favor of the icon in the visual editor, so perhaps it was a larger issue at the
   time then I was aware of).
 * On further review the [specific issue with WP_DEBUG](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/723311/google-document-embedder/trunk/js/tb-newwin.php)
   was a plain-jane info message that botched up a javascript file, not related 
   to the editor integration at all. The once-affected file isn’t in use given the
   current state of the plugin.
 * If in fact anyone else were to encounter that problem I’d first suggest trying
   to disable editor integration, or more specifically the “Insert shortcode from
   Media Library by default” option, if they didn’t want to or for some reason couldn’t
   update that default setting in the media library.
 * I’m sorry to hear that getting it to go was such an ordeal for you but thanks
   for taking the time to share your findings.
