Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.117 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Create a page with a PDF embedded using <object>. The PDF should have a hyperlink going to some other HTTP location.


Actual results:

When you click the link in the embedded PDF, the page is loaded inside the embed frame


Expected results:

I expected this to load the new URL in the main window.

If the other page also has an embedded PDF, itself with a hyperlink pointing back to the first page, then you can nest things deeply. Page 1 has Page 2 inside it which has page 1 inside it...
