Cannot open local .PDF in Firefox on laptop
My apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere:- Windoze 10 Toshiba Laptop, all up to latest revision, Firefox 89.02 64-bit
I maintain a small website written in pretty much basic HTML-5 and each week, have to update and upload a newsletter in .PDF format. Whilst ‘testing’ the website locally on my laptop, I open the html page, click on the link to the newsletter file, and after the usual “What should Firefox do with this file” I click on “open with Firefox” and then receive an error message:-
“[full path to filename] could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file”
As soon as I upload to my hosting service this all works fine ‘online’ but Firefox refuses to open local .PDF’s. If I open with Adobe (default) it works fine. If I try to open any .PDF’s on my local drive, I get the same error. Opening a .PDF on any other ‘online’ website also works fine, just not local files? Any help appreciated.
