hAll in spanish version:
1.- I have Acrobat writer 4.0 and Mozilla 1.7.3
2.- some pdf documents need acrobat > 4.0
3.- I install acrobat reader 6.0 (small version: for internet-low-speed with
56Kb-modem)
4.- Restart windows XP Pro.
5.- open Mozilla, open
http://www.aloj.us.es/tmra1/Facturacion/Facturaplus_2004.pdf , now only open a
blank window and not pdf.

solution:
uninstall Reader 6.0, install Reader 5.1, open the url ...pdf, and the plugin
reader 5.1 say me: you don't see pdf in browser because you have configuration
problem. Do you want repair? I click Yes and all correct. Now install reader 6.0
(without uninstall 5.1), run reader 6.0 for associate programs. now open url and
all correct.
What is the configuration problem?

Make sure you uninstall Acrobat Reader 5.1 with Control Panel/Add or remove
programs. You also need to install Acrobat Reader 6.01 full and then the 6.0.2
patch/update: everything is downloadable at

I will resolve this bug as WORKSFORME unless I see some major reasons not to.

Guillermo, you can reopen this bug if the problem occurs again with the latest
trunk build, with the latest Acrobat Reader (latest is version 7.0 right now)
and if you can provide specifics, details.
