User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 This seems to happen when you decide to open a linked PDF in a New tab. It's terribly counterproductive when the PDF is large. I would have to wait until the PDF completes loading to attain control of firefox. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Find any URL that links to a PDF online 2.Right click on that link and -> Open in New Tab 3.Click on that Tab before the PDF completes loading. Actual Results: Firefox hangs. Expected Results: tab should show the PDF still loading. (the rotating circle icon) Looks like the loading of Adobe PDF reader are run on the same thread as the browser. It should be separated.
