I have the same problem.

Works for me using Windows build 20030830.  Guys, are you having this problem
with all .pdf's you view, or only some?  If it is only some, can you provide
links to them.  

You may also want to try a newer build to see if that helps.

Hmmm seems to be working ok for me now with Windows build 20030901.

I have received a couple of notes saying that the bug is gone. I can also now 
go back and forth from a page using Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 without the long 
delay. Seems to be working fine now.

Bug still seems to be there for me (Windows XP, latest build):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030909
Firebird/0.6.1+

try e.g.

I have once again started to have problems with this bug. I do not know why it 
changed. I think I was using 08292003 ewhen it worked and now that I have a 
newer version of Firebird, it seems to not be working again.

I don't know if it's of any relevance, but I see something similar, to a delay.
Although lately Firebird doesn't even show the PDF in the browser after the
Acrobat logo animation appears. The windows are just blanked out...

I am using Acrobat 6.0 Professional, and:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925
Firebird/0.7 + XP Sp1

In Addition, sometimes it is much worse then 20sec (has nothing todo with pc
speed... pc/os itself is really good)
I think the common thing todo if cant fix the bug is to make all .pdf files open
with acrobat outside the browser (kinda like "open in new window" look wise but
acctually opening it is diffrent program:/) 
I think this pdf thing is the most annoying thing i ever had with firebird... I
have not had anything else go wrong with it that i have noticed in long time
that i've been using it... great job guys... best browser out there:]
also XP and 2k3 has same probs i believe:]
Thanks fallas:P
