Our company has multiple locations where the managers upload weekly menu files in PDF. Starting in the first week of January 2014, Firefox has been showing the 404 error message when trying to view these PDFs. The files appear just fine when opening/viewing with Safari, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
