[Building Sakai] Viewing inline PDFs from Sakai causes FF to freeze

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Chris,

Yes this is a known issue but has been fixed.
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-215

Sakai 2.7.1 resolves this as the fix is in the updated kernel. If you cannot upgrade your Sakai instance at this time you might consider upgrading just the kernel, to version 1.1.9 which is the version that ships with Sakai 2.7.1

cheers,
Steve

When the user requests subsequent pages (next page icon or scrollbar), a progress bar appears in the bottom right. This progress bar does not proceed. At this point, the user can kill the tab or risk freezing Firefox.
