When I try to open a large pdf file Firefox gives up after awhile. Files smaller that 5M seem to be OK. I have updated my Acrobat plugin and set my internet preferences to display pdf in browser. I didn't have this problem in version 3.6.

I was able to get mine working by disabling the "Adobe PDF Plug-In for Firefox and Netscape..." that was installed by Adobe Acrobat. It's in the Firefox Add-ons Manager > Plugins section.

That seems to be the ticket. The file downloads and opens automatically in an Acrobat Reader window. Thanks!!
