(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Ronald Kalil]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041201 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041201 Firefox/1.0+

Firefox is unable to handle PDF files that are opened with Adobe Acrobat 6
Professional from any web page. The PDF file opens correctly, but then Firefox
hangs up, and must be shut down with the Windows task manager. Netscape 7.2
displays the same problem. Internet Explorer does not.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to web page that offers a document in PDF file format.
2.Open the document.
3.Document opens and Firefox locks up.



Expected Results:  
Firefox should have allowed the PDF file to be opened without locking up after
the file was opened.

Please apply the Acrobat 6.02 update and see if the problem remains.

Had the same problem. Going from Acrobat 6.0 to 6.02 (had to load 6.01 first)
seems to have fixed the problem.
