Firefox 3.0.7 is crashing when embedding a PDF using the object tag

I'm attempting to embed a PDF file into a HTML page using the object tag. The following HTML crashes Firefox 3.0.7:

<object id="pdfObject40" type="application/pdf" data="/file.ashx?id=40" width="432" height="600">
  <param name="src" value="/file.ashx?id=40" />
</object>

I don't have a problem in Internet Explorer.

Solution

  • I ended up using that code for IE and failing over to a link with a about:blank in Firefox. If any has a solution, feel free to add. I'll accept it down the road.
