Whenever, I click on a PDF link in a website, i can read the PDF file and can
navigate within that document. However, Firefox freezes up and I cannot do
anything else. I have to get out of Firefox and then re launch it for other
browsing needs. This has happened to me 100% of the time. 
I have uninstalled and re installed several times. That does not help. I do not
have any such problem with IE.
Thanks for your help.
