Steps to reproduce with Firefox 3.6.13: 1. Install SumatraPDF including browser plugin [1] 2. Disable all other PDF plugins 3. Load a PDF document in a tab Actual result: The address bar shows the URL of the loaded document, the plugin is however not loaded and the previously loaded page is still displayed. The plugin not being loaded means: there's never even a LoadLibrary call for SumatraPDF's plugin. Deleting nppdf32.* from Firefox' installation directory's plugins subdirectory fixes this issue. [1] To install the plugin, download the SumatraPDF installer from http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/prerelease.html and either install it or extract npPdfViewer.dll (using any modern ZIP compatible program) and run "regsvr32 npPdfViewer.dll" to register it.
