Although I am not the original reporter for this bug, I would like it re-opened since it seems that this problem still exists. I was not involved in the original discussion because I thought the problem was with Adobe, that in one of their multiple updates they had added the bug to Adobe Reader, so I never looked here on Bugzilla. However, I now realize that the problem is not with Adobe Reader.

The problem is much as Robert Sutherland reported above but I will repeat with more detail. I hope I use the right words to describe what is happening. Also, I will deviate from your recommended format to describe first what happens using Adobe Reader.

How Adobe Reader works
When one opens a .pdf file offline with Adobe Reader, the file is displayed with a scroll bar on the right. There is a small caret/arrow at the top of the bar and a small inverted caret/arrow at the bottom. Both carets are in neat little boxes. You position your mouse cursor in one of these boxes, left click once, and the text page moves down or up, one line at a time. In addition, if you CAREFULLY position your mouse pointer in the very bottom right corner of the neat little box at the bottom right of the display window (or on any edge of the window itself), the pointer turns into a “double ended arrow” with which you can resize the whole window.

User agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0

Steps to reproduce:
Open a .pdf file online. Place mouse pointer on lower right hand inverted caret.
 
Actual results:
The pointer immediately turns into a diagonal window resizing double-ended arrow. Left click once and nothing happens

Expected results:
The same as with Adobe Reader, ie, the pointer does not change and the text moves up one line.

Extra notes:
The right side and bottom of the “neat little box” in the lower right hand corner of the window, in which the inverted caret appears, looks as if a hungry mouse took nibbles out of them.
 
I checked out Alice’s reference to Bug 733897. It is the same problem but with mail.google.com. I am unsure from the dialogue but it appears that the original complaint was “resolved” by switching platforms :(

I have the Firefox plugin Adobe Acrobat 11.0.8.4
