Bug Description
I encountered a standard-compliant site with PDF file embedded which hangs my Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox - that is, browser is usable, but CPU load is 100% and I'm unable to open another PDF file in Firefox until I close the tab where I opened this site...
I copied the source and deleted as much pure HTML code as I could to make it more clear (it is still standard-compliant and it still doesn't work), here it is:
http://
I tried a fresh Firefox profile and it still doesn't work; I also tried opening it in Opera -- there were no problems with that.
I downloaded the official Firefox tarball from Mozilla site and copied there the Adobe Reader plugin (nppdf.so) from Medibuntu, the result was the same.
Steps to reproduce:
0) Install Adobe Reader Firefox plugin from Medibuntu, if it's not installed
1) Open Firefox
2) Enter the site http://
3) Try to open in Firefox another PDF in another tab -- it will not open
4) Close the tab displaying test.html site -- the second tab should now open PDF properly
What should happen:
in point (3) Firefox shouldn't hang, but it should properly open the site with embedded PDF file.
Which version of Ubuntu, Firefox, etc.?
