User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; sbcydsl 3.11; YComp 5.0.0.0; sbcydsl 3.12) Build Identifier: Open PDF Link - Browser freezes When I open a Hotmail e-mail and click on the .pdf link, the browser freezes. I know that it works in Explorer, as I have clicked that same link many times. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Which Browser and which Version Do you use ? Do you use the acreobat plugin or do you use it as helper application ? If you use the plugin, which Versaion Do you have installed (see "about:plugins", type is as URL)

I see this behavior with: Mozilla 1.7.1 - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707 I use Adobe acrobat reader 5.0 as a helper application (In reply to comment #1)

Note: The Mozilla Navigator freezes until the pdf has fully downloaded. Then Adobe Acrobat Reader becomes the active window. After that, the Navigator again is responsive. During the non-responsive time, all of the other Mozilla suite applications (mail, calendar...) are responsive, but even if I use "Open (pdf) in a new Window", none of the other navigator windows respond. This bug is mostly a nuisance, but still, I find it very irritating.

(In reply to comment #3) Oops! The other Mozilla Suite apps don't respond either - at least not during the whole download period. N.B: I notice similar freezing when I save the file to disk, without using the helper application, so I can't use that technique as a workaround. It seems to me that a long time ago, there were mozilla versions that did not exhibit this delay. > Note: The Mozilla Navigator freezes until the pdf has fully downloaded.

Should probably be marked as a duplicate of bug 253117

I experience the identical problem on iMac G5/OS X 10.4.3 and G4/OS X 10.4.3... can't open OR save PDF attachments: Browser freezes and must be "forced-quit" to escape and continue...
