Embedded pdf files in an HTML page with the OBJECT tag do not display.
As an example, see this link : http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=1682

It is possible to embed a PDF file with EMBED, but this tag IS NOT standard.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Do not display the PDF file.

Expected Results:  
Display the PDF file.
The classid attribute in the OBJECT tag is IE/Windows specific.  Its presence
will cause Mozilla to ignore the tag because the classid is calling on ActiveX
and Mozilla does not support ActiveX.  See bug 46569 comment 47.
