PDF files in Firefox

13 January 2011, 05:32

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate with Firefox 3.6.13, and each time I try opening a PDF file the screen flashes black and then goes blank.

It's quite annoying, because I have to copy and paste the link into Internet Explorer and read the file there.

Anyone else seen this problem, or can suggest a way to fix it?

Never heard of that, although I can recommend Chrome for great inline PDF opening.

Thanks for that. I triggered an add-on update and Adobe updated itself and now all is tickety boo.
