I open an Adobe Acrobat file, save it to my hard drive, then I click on the
"back" arrow in order to take me back to the page I was on before opening the
Acrobat file. When I do this, the Acrobat reader window open in Firefox "hangs up".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://arxiv.org/list/quant-ph/new, for example.
2. Click on any pdf hyperlink.
3. When the file opens, save it to your hard drive.
4. Click on the green "back" arrow at the top of the page.
5. Watch it hang.

Actual Results:  
Firefox window in Acrobat freezes up.

Expected Results:  
It should have gone back to the previous web page, at:
http://arxiv.org/list/quant-ph/new

Worksforme too.

Eric, what version of Acrobat and/or Reader are you using?  Does it happen only
with the arxiv.org site or any site with PDF files?

I am using Acrobat Reader 6. I friend used Acrobat Reader 5, and didn't have 
any trouble with Firefox. I have only verified this bug on http://arxiv.org/, 
and I have gone back to using Microsoft IE so I don't know if the problem will 
occur on other websites.
