Submit By Email button not working in FireFox 25.0.1

If the form is saved to desktop or opened in IE, we are not seeing any issues. However, when clicking on the submit by email button in in FireFox 25.0.1, a pop-up appears to choose the default email program or a web email program. We use Outlook and it is set by default. After checking the Outlook option, the form freezes for about a minute and the email window with the PDF attached never appears.

I'm using the built-in Submit By Email button in Livecycle Designer 9.

        <event name="event__click" activity="click">
           <submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:ebss-access-request@jhuapl.edu?subject=EBSS User Renewal Request- Approval Needed Request"/>
        </event>

If the PDF submits to a server-side script URL it can bypass client-side email software.

Try the online PDF submission examples and see if it works for you in Mozilla FireFox:

You should also make sure the browser is using the Adobe Reader plugin as the default PDF reader.
