This issue is getting a lot of attention on the SUMO forums. 

You can find information here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926740

I ran all the User Agents for everyone reporting the issue and they are predominantly Windows users on FF 12. So it looks like this isn't a nightly issue. 

The affected version of the Foxit reader seems to be 5.3.0.0423 and rolling back to 5.1.4.0104 resolves the issue. I'm doing some investigation tomorrow to verify our assumptions about OS and versions.

The folks at Foxit are aware of the issue and are working on an update. No ETA at this point. I'll update this ticket when we know more.

Hello Matt,

should this be closed? because there was never an Update from your site since 2 years.

I think we can close this. It's been a while and doesn't seem to be driving any more traffic.
