Firefox unable to display 3D PDF content
Hi, I am trying to Display a 3D PDF file created from one of the 3d design software in web browser, PDF file is opening but 3D content in the PDF file is not showing up, if i try to open the same in IE it opens perfectly. Any solution for this??

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Thanks, It solved and 3D files displays correctly.
Will there be any update to default pdf viewer in future?? So that by default it can viewed similar to other PDF files, as asking all the users using firefox to make this change to view 3D file is bit complicated.
