PDF files do not load and freeze browser.  Kill with task manager. I happens
after Adobe tries to access the web and I tell Zone Alarm to deny.

Reproducible: Always

This is probably Acrobat Reader (assuming you're using that) not handling this
situation properly. How does IE behave ?

Possible workaround: Disable automatic updates .

I can confirm this.
I'm running acrobat 6.0.2, Firefox 1.0, Windows XP-sp2.

when pressing on a pdf link in a firefox browser window, a second firefox window
will be opened, the acrobat logo/program tries to launch, but hangs.  Sometimes,
the 2nd browser window that opens will unhang, but no document is displayed. 
Other times, I just kill the pid of the job.
