I agree with Charles. The FF PDF rendering is not ready for Prime Time. It
doesn't render PDF completely and does cause other inconsistent results. I wish
FF would not make it the default but go with the system default.

Don't use the built-in PDF viewer, it has always been VERY buggy, crashing FF
more often than not

In our end user testing with ESR 52, we got feedback about PDFs locking up.
Sure enough, on every machine, every AcroForm is causing Firefox to stop
responding.
It doesn’t actually crash, Firefox just becomes completely unresponsive, and
you have to end task firefox.exe. I tried deleting our autoconfig, I tried
“Restart with Add-ons Disabled”, and I tried Private Browsing mode, but none of
this helped. Reverting to ESR 45.7 does resolve the problem.
Then I noticed on a personal machine that there was no problem. After some
troubleshooting I’ve determined the cause is our security software: Sophos
Endpoint Security and Control 10.6. SESC isn’t blocking or logging anything
when this happens. And it begs the question, why is ESR 45 okay with it but
ESR 52 isn’t?
I’m at my wits’ end. Any help is appreciated.
