ALT+LEFT ARROW acts like a Page Up in the pdf but doesn't affect the browser. I click on the back button and Mozilla hangs. I have to CAD to close it.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040721 Firefox/0.9.1+ I'm seeing this too (on my work machine). Going back or clicking a link in the PDF causes Firefox to hang. Sometimes it also makes a dialog appear. It says something like "You have one or more PDFs open. Are you sure you want to exit Acrobat reader?" Clicking the "Exit" button in that dialog sometimes makes Firefox stop hanging.

URGENT but nothing new to Firefox 1.0alpha! Running Adobe Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 6.0 full-blown, under W 2K, I get the SAME response I have had under previous versions of Firefox/Phonix/FireBird/that browser thing and Adobe 5.n and 6. Once you open an adobe document in the browser, you cannot close Adobe, nor can you open a new tab, go anywhere, go back, do anything else without shutting down the browser (sometimes with Taskmanager, and getting an Adobe warning message. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ONE, FAST - IT'S GOT COBWEBS ON IT ALREADY - suggestion - divert all PDFs to their own new tab

I have to agree. Once you hit the "go back" button, all the thing does is recycle, and it locks **all** sessions of the browser and the newsreader. The only remedy I've found so far is to go through task manager to kill all sessions, and sometimes it takes three or four tries to do that. I'm running XP home edition. If the PDF opened in its own window, we might be able to close just that one window. I haven't tried that yet, but it *might* be worth trying.

I found a solution that works for me. If you go to your adobe reader and select /edit /preferences /internet and uncheck the box "Display PDF in Browser", it is possible to close the pdf file and return to the browser. I have implemented this on two computers and it has solved the problem.

(In reply to comment #8) That's not a solution, it's a workaround. (it solves a bug in a feature by eliminating the feature - like curing the disease by killing the patient) Workarounds are okay but this issue does need a real solution. > I found a solution that works for me.

Well, workaround or not, it *does* seem to work. Thanks for the tip. It could be worse, after all.... they could decide this bug *is* a feature.... :)

(In reply to comment #10) Yeah it's hanging for your own good, to preserve your system's integrity. :D

(In reply to comment #10) It does NOT work for me. In my case, if I wait about 3 minutes, I get the Exit box. However, If I first activate Adobe Reader (Ver. 6) and leave it active, THEN use the browser (Ver 1.5), it works perfectly. > Well, workaround or not, it *does* seem to work.
