When trying to view some PDF documents, it appears that the PDF reader starts, quits and then displays different mesages, depending upon the site: "Cannot display PDF (Image Download cannot be opened)" or "Cannot display PDF (EnvelopePDF.aspx cannot be opened)"

Hi

So that I can look into this further, do you have an example of a link where this happens?

Unfortunately, I cannot. So far, I've only observed it when attempting to views PDFs from a secure site, lie the ones you view/download from a financial institution.

I'm using version 68.0, which I downloaded from the Google Play store.

Hi

The only thing I can think of is that the .pdf is of a type that Firefox for Android presently does not support (some .pdf files are more complex than just text or graphics). Hopefully this is something that we can support in a future update.
