acroread plugin stops rendering page after repeated page loads
Issue
- We still use the
acroread-plugin
withfirefox
in our production environment.
firefox-24.8.0-1.el6_5.i686
acroread-plugin-9.5.5-1.el6_4.i686
- After repeatedly viewing a document, at some point the plugin stops rendering the page and they are left with a white page.
- The issue can be reproduced by rapidly hitting reload button.
- No excessive load seen on the system at the time of issue, and the
acroread
process is still running, not defunct. - The
pdfjs
plugin will not address the needs as it has no form support at this stage.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- firefox-24
