When I download a pdf from ebay and try to open it with firefox or adobe it is saying undefined I can open other pdf's with no problem , I have contacted ebay and they have indicated that the problem is not on their system , I have obviously altered something and don't know how to reverse it , previously it would open the ebay PDF's no bother ,can you advise what the settings should be

Hi Thank You for responding I am a novice with computers , I tried downloading them again in troubleshoot mode and I refreshed Firefox but it is still reading as undefined , It is frustrating as I used to download ebay PDF's and they would open no problem but for the last 2 months they won't yet all other PDF's download and open no problem , I have also noticed that past ebay PDF's were approx 590kb but the undefined ones are downloading at approx 393b

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works, you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Try disabling Tracking Protection for the site.

Are you able to share a link to an ebay page with a PDF where you encounter this?

Hi Cor-el thank you for your response I looked into setting up a new profile but as a novice I am frightened I would only make things worse , I am currently having problems with my settings on firefox, every time there is an update it throws all my settings out and I have to go through them one by one to reset them , either my font is too small or my page size is too large and my toolbars are too large , it is very frustrating trying to get settings you are comfortable with then an update puts you back at the beginning, Anyway your suggestion was appreciated and I thank you for it
