Hi,

I do not seem to be able to open a pdf file from a site withing my Firefox as I used to be able to with my Netscape.

I am a very 'simple' user and do not know the ins and outs

Any thoughts on how to resolve this ?

Thanks

Might make sure you have the latest Acrobat installed > PluginDoc

Under "Tools" "Downloads" "Download Actions" "View and Edit Actions" Select Adobe Acrobat to use the Acrobat plugin.

Thanks,

I have the latest version of acrobat 7.0.8

In Firefox if I go Tools, Downloads, the download manager opens up and I do not have any more options (download actions, view and edit actions...)

Sorry about that, missed a step. Should be Tools "Options" Downloads

And use "View and Edit Actions"

If the Acrobat frame shows inside a Firefox tab then it is working OK, maybe just a very big PDF file. Try to find a smaller one somewhere to test it.

Here is a very small test pdf I made 6kB.

I sometimes cring when I hit a pdf link and realize it is several megabytes in size. If I know it is that large I just right click on the link and 'save as' to let it download in the background.
