User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140220030202 Steps to reproduce: I browsed till a bank account and click on a link that opens a popup that shows a pdf embedded. The point is that the pop up is shown in blank. I have used developer tools to see that the browser makes a post request an gets in the response header a temporal file path with an identifier that is supposed to open the pdf, but firefox doesn't make the request with that url, in chrome I can see that it makes that http call. Nothing appears in the console. Everything is ok. I have tried to point firefox to open the doc to other pdf plugins but behaviour doesn't change. The url return in the post is: rutaArchivoTemporal: "/es/ver/descargarFicheroTemporal?identificadorDescarga=G2598988227MD" Actual results: blank pop without the file Expected results: open the pdf or external pdf viewer inline (such as chrome or internet explorer actually do).

Can you inspect the element and see how it embeds the pdf e.g. if it uses a <embed> or <iframe> tag?
I have inspected the html and this is what comes: <div id="pdfVisor" class="pdfobj"></div>. I don't know why but with opera, chrome or internet explorer it works. Even when I switch off firefox inline pdf, it doesn't work. It seems to be something with the post request that receives a temporal url and in other browsers a see a call with that temporal url (the attribute is called temporalfilepath (my translation from spanish)). Firefox doesn't do that post http request. I don't know if doesn't recognize something in the response.

Ok. browsing with chrome I see that within those div tags chrome retrieves: <object data="/es/ver/descargarFicheroTemporal?identificadorDescarga=G2598988227MD#navpanes=0&statusbar=0&toolbar=1&messages=0&scale=100&view=Fit" type="application/pdf" width="665" height="415"></object> Greetings, (In reply to Brendan Dahl [:bdahl] from comment #1) > Can you inspect the element and see how it embeds the pdf e.g. if it uses a > <embed> or <iframe> tag?
It is a problem with the PDFObject javascript library. Firefox is the only browser not processing it properly. http://pdfobject.com/examples/simplest-styled.html (In reply to Brendan Dahl [:bdahl] from comment #1) > Can you inspect the element and see how it embeds the pdf e.g. if it uses a > <embed> or <iframe> tag?
According to https://pdfobject.com/#browser-support and https://pdfobject.com/examples/detection.html
Tested on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0 (nightly)
"This browser supports inline PDFs"
so this bug can be closed as it is fixed...

The fix you found is simply because the PDF you have in "data" is a XFA one, otherwise the fix would have been even older.
But I think this bug is about some other specific way to embed a PDF in a page, so not reproducible simply with the "object".
Works for me with the Build 2014-02-20 (as reported) with Win10 and a standard (non-XFA) pdf file.

Might be a duplicate of bug 1500404.

Without a way to reproduce this, we can't fix it.
