pdf files won't open in new firefox. Found this on Mozilla page: "It has been reported that PDF files embedded in web pages will not display when using the Adobe Reader 7.0 browser plugin, due to it not passing the correct options to acroread."

Is it hence wise to upgrade acroread? The old acroread worked.

Oops! It is the new firefox upgrade that might not be so clever, not acroread.

"due to it not passing the correct options to acroread" <== this is done from the plugin, so it's a bug in their plugin. As it's non-free, I can't fix it without a new version of acroread from adobe.

Seamonkey works, though :) So, I wonder about the adobe problem - lol.
