User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101202 Firefox/4.0b8pre Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101202 Firefox/4.0b8pre I cannot type in the address bar after viewing the PDF file from the above site. Even when I close the new tab (PDF file) I cannot navigate to a new page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the above website. 2. You cannot type in the address bar to load a new site, even after closing the PDF tab. Actual Results: Unable to type in the address bar (CRITICAL issue). Forced to close Firefox / Minefield to resume browsing. Expected Results: I should continue to navigate to other websites when a PDF file is open in another tab.
CHANGE - Reproducible: Sometimes. Doesn't happen every time, but when it does, cannot navigate to another page.
Mozilla: If a PDF file is the very first tab you open, then this bug status becomes "Reproducible: ALWAYS". However, if a PDF file is the second, third or later tab you open Firefox / Minefield does not become unresponsive.
Since no one has looked at this bug in the past week and a half, I will provide an update. This is still a problem, and like I said does not happen all the time or with all PDF documents. It seems like when Adobe 10 (aka Adobe X) loads a PDF inside Minefield it sometimes causes a loss of focus from Firefox / Minefield. When this bug occurs, I am able to restore focus to the Minefield address bar by either minimizing then maximizing Minefield or clicking on the Windows clock and then clicking back to Minefield. However, I must note that no matter how many websites I load in Internet Explorer 9 Beta with Adobe 10 / X, there is no loss of focus and I am still able to navigate to other pages. Therefore, I am still at a loss as to whether Adobe needs to be notified of this issue or if there is something buggy between the Minefield C++ code and the Adobe 10 PDF plug-in.
I reproduced it by copying the URL and "Paste & Go" in a tab with this bugzilla page, but only after clicking "back" and "forward" a few times. Also noticed the favicon reverting to a blank sheet and then changing to a throbber for a few seconds (in either page).
I can reproduce also when left clicking on the pdf document then clicking in the address field or search field.
