I am an Web Designer and create PDF files for download from the sites that I develop. I use version 19.0 of Firefox.

Included in these PDF files are tables which display certain data, and I have made some table columns wider with the fill colour the same colour as the table border colour.

Recently table borders have appeared in the filled in areas, which I do not want to happen. Also the look of the Adobe Reader is different in Firefox. and normal in IE and Opera browser which I also use.

So overall, the the PDF file is not being displayed correctly in Firefox. If I could I would have attached a screen dump of the display error, to help. Can you offer a solution please?

The same problem here, this started with the latest version.

I found a temporal solution which is change the default "previewer" in the Options -> Applications tab

You need to install the Adobe Reader Plugin described [[here|http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-adobe-reader-plugin-view-or-download-pdf-files]].
