On the 24.0 firefox, this doesn't display. I can download the PDF via *wget* and then try to open with either *evince* or *firefox*. *evince* is ok, but *firefox* does not display. I don't know if it is fixed and/or if you have patches to the firefox upstream.

The above PDF displays in Firefox 29 on Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" with a warning "This PDF may not be displayed correctly". However it looks the same as it does in Evince, with evince giving a warning of "Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary".

Confirmed this is fixed in 10.04. The PDF is at fault, but the previous version of FireFox gave no indication that the PDF was bad. It looks like a network error as the PDF fails to display anything.
