Does Firefox 31 on Mac work with Adobe Reader 11 to read PDFs in browser?
Is it possible to open PDFs in Firefox 31 using Adobe Reader 11?
Searching on the internet shows that Adobe Reader and Firefox have had issues working together for a long time. Are these issues still ongoing or have they been resolved? When I try to open a PDF in my browser it only shows a white page.
I can't use PDF.js because the PDFs I need to use have editable fields and javascript programming.

Hi Pagoda, Thank you for your question. I understand that you would like to know if Adobe reader 11 works in Firefox.
We can try an experiment, because I do not know this yet. If you change the application associated with the .pdf extension temporarily and try to open a pdf how does it look? Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files
If there is a specific question about editable fields and javascript in a pdf, you can file a new issue in the pdf.js github repository: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/iss.../new for more technical details.
Update, there are open issues for both of these, but correct they have not been implemented yet.
That might be a problem on Mac because this is a known issue on Mac and the Adobe Reader plugin is disabled because of this.
