Seems to affect all PDF file downloads, I tried to download this PDF from Adobe

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/webbuy/pdfs/eBookWP12.pdf and it brought
Mozilla down

No Idea how this bug is marked as fixed,

No problem for build 20010129, so might be another regression.
coudl you submit a talkback and attach an id to this bug? do you have a plugin

works on windows. Will check on linux and comment.
I can't even get the Acrobat 4.0 plugin to work much less crash. 

nppdf.so is in the plugins dir but LoadPlugins() returns looks like some bad
address: 81b3540

How did you get this to work?

Also, what's the Talkback ID# so perhpas we can get a stack trace. 

Thanks.
Works on Windows - both in-browser plugin display and Save As - 2000-01-05 
Win95.

I sent talkbalk info to shrir@netscape.com

Using Build 2001020512 [newer than the one reported in bugzilla]
Talkback ID is TB25867116K
somehow, the incident id 'is not found'. This works on linux too (except acrobat 
oens as a helper app...known issue). I do not get a crash while saving or 
opening the file mentioned on this page with today's trunk build on linux 
20010206. Yusuf, pls chek the talkback id again ( if you can crash consistently) 
.Thanks!
Hi, I just sent another talkback
ID is TB25925310H

i cannot find any talkback  report searching by ur email address or the id you  
just entered :(
I downloaded 0.8 and the bug was still reproducible. I then deleted my
$HOME/.mozilla and restarted 0.8. I was then not able to reproduce this bug with
0.8. I have downloaded 2001021908 and this is not reproducible.

I am guessing something might have been buggered up in my $HOME/.mozilla

Am closing the bug. I am marking it as invalid since that seems to be the most
appropiate
