I am trying to download PDFs opened in pdf.js from the ProQuest content provider. I can download PDFs from many other sites using the "Download" button in pdf.js, but when I try to download ProQuest documents, I cannot. (When I click the "Download" button, nothing happens.)

This was not a problem when I used the Firefox PDF plugin with an earlier version of Firefox. I just upgraded FF and switched to pdf.js yesterday, so I am guessing this is an issue with pdf.js, rather than ProQuest. (I am covered by an institutional subscription to ProQuest.)

Thanks for your help.
