FF4 has trouble opening pdfs on my machine.

Same with FirePox 3.x here. Don't know if it's a FirePox or craprobat
issue.


Tools/Addons/Plugins, disable the Acrobat plug-in. Next time you click
on a PDF link you'll be offered the option to open it in a separate
Acrobat window. The browser integration is crap (where's the page
count, for a start?)


Thanks. Will try that


Also in general preferences there is a page (applications) that tells
you how to deal with odd extensions. Look for PDF in that and configure
to use whatever external program you prefer. But for sure switch of 'use
internal plugin ' bit.

In Linux that's edit-preferences-applications.
