I use comcast for my email. I have attached scanned doc in pdf many times successfully. Now attachments will not display, when I check the attachment all I get is a blank page with the note the pdf docs may not display correctly

Firefox 19 changed your default viewer for PDFs to the built-in viewer. Maybe it can't handle the scan due to size or other reasons?

To change your PDF handler to the Adobe Acrobat plugin or an external application, you can update one of your application preferences. There is now a support article on this: View PDF files in Firefox or choose another viewer.

Any luck?
