acroread plugin stops rendering page after repeated page loads

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We still use the acroread-plugin with firefox 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
