Whenever I try to open a PDF file .. your program saves the file but then I do not know which program to use to open it. I'm using windows 2000. When I click on browse what program do I need to make the file open. It comes up in word as a bunch of symbols. Previously with internet exploxer I just clicked on the link and the doc opened.

In reference to the PDF question I meant when I was using windows exploer internet in the past the PDF file would open automatically. With Fox Fire it saves my file but then will not open. I do not know what application.. program to use to open the file from the internet.
