There was something going on in the background. I tried to start it in Troubleshooting mode and it wouldn't do it. I reset my computer and it worked. I have to apologize for posting before a restart, not sure what I was thinking. Thanks for the look.

For anyone else experiencing the issue where Firefox just shows black pdf like mine(see screenshot), I solved it by just hitting the zoom button.
