User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

I was reading a pdf document and when I wanted to close the page, firefox froze
down, and it took 30+ seconds to close the tab, halting all other tabs or
Firefox instances.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a pdf document either from the hard or online
2. Close the tab
3. Firefox freezes for 30+ seconds, halting all other tabs or Firefox instances.
Actual Results:  
The actual results are under step 3., Firefox freezes for 30+ seconds, halting
all other tabs or Firefox instances.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have closed the tab containing the pdf document instantly, like
the other available browsers do.

Extensions installed:
1. DOM Incpector 1.0,
2. Googlebar 0.9.0.16
3. Adblock 0.5
4. Tabbrowser Extensions 1.10.2004061401
5. Add Bookmark Here 0.5
6. DownloadWith 0.0.7

Themes installed:
1. default,
2. Charamen 1.0.4
3. Qute 2.1.2.

I must mention that the same thing occured in Mozilla 1.7 rc2, so i doubt that
any extensions/themes cause the problem.

I see this too but I believe this is a bug with adobe viewer, unless I'm proved
wrong
