348267 - Firefox crashes when I try to close a pdf file(Adobe Reader 6.0)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 214137

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Philip Turner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Firefox/1.5.0.6

I open a PDF on an online brokerage site and save it to my hard disk.  When I close Reader, Firefox freezes.  If I check on the program with Task Manager, it reports "application not responding."  If I direct Task Manager to end the Reader, it closes and knocks me off the web site.
NOTE: this does not happen when I use Internet Explorer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a PDF using Adobe Reader 6.0.0 and save PDF to local hard drive.
2. Close Reader (then Firefox hangs showing a blank screen).
3. Close program using Task Manager.

Actual Results:  
I get knocked off the web site.  I have to restart Firefox and log on to the online brokerate site again.

Expected Results:  
Closing Adobe Reader should not cause Firefox to freeze.  Reader should close but Firefox should continue running and keep me logged on to the web site.

This does not occur when I use Internet Explorer.

This is a hang, so dupe of bug 214137, which WADA mentioned.

Upgrading to the most-recent version of Acrobat Reader will fix the issue.
