Most likely a dupe of 219987 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 219987 ***

This is about PDF Writer, not an Adobe Reader (219987), nor actually an Acrobat bug, since Acrobat performs correctly. It is a print bug regarding PDFWriter and Firefox. PDF Writer is suplied as part of Acrobat. The PDFwriter version provided with Acrobat 6 is 4.0. I regularly open PDF documents with Firefox—and experience brief, nonresponsive delays while reader loads bothe with Win2KPro/Reader6.0 and WinXPpro/Reader7.0, but I have never had any on the experiences related in bug 219987. I have been printing to PDFwriter with Firefox for months, and this has only recently begun to occur.

(In reply to comment #2) > I have been printing to PDFwriter with Firefox for months, and this has only > recently begun to occur. You mean this din't happen in FF1.0.4 and started since you upgraded to 1.0.6 ?

It starting happening in 1.05, so I upgraded to 1.06 and verified I had all updates to Acrobat 6..., and it still happened. After it occurs and Firefox is restarted, Firefox sems to behve normally. It is not repeatable, and I'm not sure it's a Firefox bug.

Those are the worst kind of bugs i guess. Another approach, disable all your extensions, in the extension manager, and see if you still can reproduce the problem.

reporter: if you're building yourself, could you attach w/ a profiler or debugger and get a stack trace?
