When viewing pdf files linked to live websites, the command bar does not operate

When I view any website and then go and link to an embedded pdf file viewed through the website, I find that the pdf file command bar (save, print, scroll, zoom) is inoperable when I try to activate the individual icons with my cursor. I've tried all the add-ins/plug-ins from the Mozilla site with no success. When I return to using the Explorer browser the command bar works fine. I have no problems with downloaded pdf files when the command bar always works perfectly.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

The problem is still there in Safe Mode and I've checked that the Appearance is in default mode.
