The pdf at http://www.garponline.com/7idanl.pdf will not display images properly after the second page although all pages display just fine with Chrome, Edge, Safari and Explorer 11. I have "refreshed" Firefox, but to no avail. Wazzap with that?

Chosen solution

The current Firefox 43 beta release that will become the next release shows the images as well.

Note that installing a beta release will put you on the Beta update channel that gets updates twice a week.

It looks that this issue is fixed in the latest development version of the PDF Viewer.

You can try out the latest development version of the PDF viewer (pdfjs) to see if it how it looks compared with the version shipped with the current Firefox release.

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

I am happy to report that installing Firefox 43 beta did the trick. Thank you! :-) Still a little strange that it only affected the grayscale pics and not the color. Go figger.

Thanks again. Frank
