pdf embed not working Mac Firefox v66 64bit

Hi all, pdf embedding is not working on mac firefox v66 64bit now while it used to work in the v65. To be 100% clear you can reproduce this issue by visiting https://pdfobject.com/ In the grey frame where there should appear a pdf embed there is white and there are no errors in the console.

I am also the one who reported it broken in windows10 v65 32bit https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1250314

So clearly the bug that caused this is now propagating to other versions. Can someone please investigate?

Hi robtrip, I posted a reply in your earlier thread here:

https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1250314#answer-1214647

On your Mac, can you check the Application settings for PDFs on the Preferences page? The PDFObject.embed() method might only work if you have Portable Document Format (PDF) set to "Preview in Firefox".
