Firefox-Adobe Reader Question Since updating to Firefox 2.0, my computer hangs up when→[More:]I click on any link to a .pdf file. I have reinstalled both Firefox and Adobe Reader to no avail. The screen just goes blank and says "done" in the lower left corner. I open MIE if I need to open a pdf file but this is not a desirable solution for me.

Any hints?

Thanks, in advance.

Are you on Windows? If so, you could give Foxit Reader a try - it's a much, much lighter app and really pretty good. Other than that, no, sorry, I can't offer anything else.

Thank you blag. That worked. Honestly, I had tried several things but did not come across that extension.
