RFC 2397 defines a way to display embedded data in a html page.

Whereas is works fine with images, when trying to use a pdf, firefox bugs and does not render the rest of the page.

On the same computer, it works fine with Safari or Chrome (internet explorer only allows images), so i assume it's not due to acrobat plugin.

You can right click on the link and save the content to check that the pdf is correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the above url using firefox (http://diesmo.free.fr/misc/rfc2397.html)

Actual Results:  
A rectangle appears where the pdf should be displayed. The rest of the page is not rendered.

Expected Results:  
The pdf should open inside the page. The rest of the page should be displayed.
