The new pdf preview feature in firefox desktop does NOT seem to activate any links (urls) inside the pdf meaning they are no longer clickable.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem.

I send out product information using pdf's with clickable links inside (as do lots of businesses) and this loss of clickable links functionality is a problem.

I also tried the same pdf files in IE and Chrome and their inline pdf previews keep all links fully working.

I know the pdf preview in firefox can be deactivated and the adobe reader can be used instead but in reality lots of people won't know how to do this or won't be troubled to find out how and will just move on.

Does anyone know if this feature is going to be fixed or supported or is it a deliberate security feature.

Thanks.

JP.

Hey JPEdwards,

The PDF.js team is still hard at work on the built-in viewer. It looks like there is already a bug on file for this and they are aware of it:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=821599

Please don't post in the bug if you are just confirming that you've seen the problem too. That clutters the tickets ;)
