237035 - Firefox hangs if I close a tab that contains a pdf

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 221963

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Christian Garner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

This happens when I use Firefox 0.8 and load a pdf in a tab using the Adobe
Acrobat Reader plugin 6.0.  When I try to close the tab, the browser hangs.  If
I open the taskmanager and manually kill the acrobate process, that seems to
resolve the problem.  I have it set to open pdf files in the external acrobat
reader.  However, it still opens an empty tab when I do this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a link to a pdf file
2. Close the tab that contains the pdf file
3.

Actual Results:  
The browser hangs and doesn't respond to anything.

Expected Results:  
It should have closed the tab and continued normal operation.

I am using the Orbit Blue theme.

Acrobat Reader 0.6.1 fixed this issue for me, could you try upgrading Acrobat
and then report back the results, thanks.

After I installed the ADobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.1, the problem went away.  Thanks!
