Are you sure it is a correctly formatted pdf file itself? Can you open and see it first?

more options

Hi Karlbx, can you open the PDF externally in Foxit Reader or another PDF viewer? Sometimes Firefox's built-in viewer has issues with particular PDFs.

Or perhaps it is a problem accessing the attachment on Google Drive or wherever Google is storing it?

I can open the pdf fine in gmail, but the tab that opens when I hit the print icon is blank. I have added Foxit Reader, but there's no change.

The System Details list shows the "Open in Foxit™ Reader" extension.

Did you check that this extension isn't causing this issue?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
