Typically, I have to use the default android internet app to view pdf files on my android. The last page I tried was my progressive website to view my policy documents. Firefox just does nothing when I click on a pdf file. When I go to the download folder, the file is there but has 0kb size (or empty). The default android app goes right to download and shows up in the top android status menu showing it is downloading. This problem has been around for a long time now and is still not resolved.

Here is one I just tried. It works on my ipad2. When using my android, the file shows up in the download folder, but as usual it is an empty file. Even when the pop for "view file in cloud viewer" is choosen, it loads a blank page.
