Firefox ESR 38.2.0 with PDF.js ver 1.0.277.1-signed OS Windows XP SP3 When opening a .pdf web page the page is blank. Pressing referesh or F5 has no effect. This was working OK before i updated from FF ESR 31.2 to FF 38.2.0. I've updated PDF.js to the latest (above). When i revert back to ESR 31.2 the viewer works OK. Is there another PDF viewer I should/could use or do I need to stay on 31.2 ESR? I'm guessing this is down to the OS being Win XP ?

You can try the latest development version to see if it works better than the version shipped with the current Firefox release.

Latest development version of the PDF Viewer (pdfjs) extension:

Since you are on the ESR channel you won't be affected by extension signing.

Thank you cor-el, that's fixed the problem !

Due to this awsome response time I'm off to donate some of my ebitda to Mozilla.
