278641 - Inline pdf and mp4 are not displayed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[db]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Windows and Linux

This is an expansion of <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244310>

On the linked page there is a mpeg4 movie and a pdf side by side. The page
validates
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Findie.yi.org%3A8080%2F%7Edavid%2Ftal.html>
but only Mac-Firefox display it correctly. Neither Windows-FF, Linux-FF or
Linux-Mozilla display anything at all.

The code is very basic, no javascript etc.

(As a sidenote, Safari displays it correctly but both WinIE and Opera-Linux
behaves as their siblings. However, we expect Gecko to be better than both of
them, don't we?)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page in Win-FF, Linux-FF or Linux-Mozilla
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
The movie and the pdf should be displayed. I think it is a major problem that
two such common standards as mpeg 4 and pdf can't be displayed.

Attachment: test case supposed to load up 2 side by side pdfs (named xxx.pdf) (may need to put an xxx.pdf in this folder to be able to test when test case works)

It appears to be a problem with the acrobat plugin - the video loaded fine, in
FF but not the pdf. Test case could have been simpler - a single   pdf object
doesn't load either. In IE6  trying to load pdf as object works fine

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I just tested in FF on Win7 with the official pdf-plugin and it seems to be fixed.
