Could you explain the bug, please.

When I click on the button "B", a 2-page PDF is loaded on the right side.
What's the role of the button "test"?

Comment 2

[cvenkel.miran]

Ignore test button.
2 page pdf is loaded on B click, only in google chrome. Not in FF, nither in IE. At least at me.

Could you test with a fresh profile, please.

Hmm, yes, that does the trick.
Created new default profile (empty I presume), and set it as 'use automaticaly as defult' at startup.

Any way to step by step import things from old profile to see what blocks the thing ?

also note, at old profile, when test page opened in fresh started FF (only then ), click B, I'm firts asked in right half of screen to 'activate adobe acrobat'. Cick that and pdf does not show ...

Comment 6

[cvenkel.miran]

old profile:

tested following: tools/ plugins disable adobe acrobat 11.0.13.

Gets me closer, instead of nothing, pdf file gets downloaded now. Does not appear at expected iframe.

Comment 7

OK. Next step: Tools/options/applications/pdf 
change to preview in firefox.

Works. Thanks for help.
