If some PDF files don’t render well or are blank, click the download button on the right side of the document header to open it with the default PDF viewer application on your computer.

• If you can’t open any PDF files with the built-in PDF viewer, a Firefox extension could be the cause. You can disable all your extensions, to see if one of them was the problem. For details, see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.
