Description

[John Bird]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100824 Minefield/4.0b5pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100824 Minefield/4.0b5pre

Restarting Firefox with a PDF open causes TabCandy loading og groups to pause at dialog saying

"Cannot view PDF/Acrobat document in browser window, Reader will now exit"

This causes TabCandy loading of groups to stop half way through, resumes after dialog closed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have a PDF where PDF display problems cause Reader message
2.Restart Firefox
3.TabCandy stops loading when hits that tab


Expected Results:  
Should keep going irrespective of plugin errors

Should keep going irrespective of plugin errors

Does this still happen with recent builds? I'm unable to test with the Acrobat plugin on Windows.

Marking P2, in case this is a real issue.

I tested it on my windows 7 with Firefox 4.0b8pre.  I couldn't reproduce your problem.  Do you have a URL which would cause the read error?  The one you provided doesn't valid anymore.
