On Windows XP Home Ed. with Acrobat Reader 5.0 Installed:

Opening any PDF file in Mozilla (e.g. URL listed), then clicking on a Save a
Copy button will display the "Save a Copy" dialog box but the dialog box will
remain frozen for ~1 minute. When about a minute has passed, it will function
normally and saving a copy of the same PDF for the second time will cause no
freezes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any PDF (e.g.
http://typographi.ca/art/articles/Yee%20-%20Overview%20Report.pdf)
2. Click on "Save a Copy" button
3. Try Selecting the folder in the dialog box or moving it around



Expected Results:  
The "Save a Copy" dialog box shold respond instantly when saving a PDF file

Could it be that the displayed PDF is still downloaded in the background? So it
may be something like in Bug 167584 and Bug 117893.

Old version, no response. Resolving.

Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce the problem with a current Mozilla
version AND Adobe Reader/Acrobat version.
