When using the adobe reader plug in to view online files, particularly large files on slow internet connections, the plug in will render the entire firefox window, including all tabs inside of it, frozen, until the PDF file is completley loaded.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download adobe reader plug in for firefox
2.Go to any site that has a large PDF file (over 5 meg) and click on it
3.Assuming you have a connection that will take atleast 10 seconds or so to download the file, try to click on anything (ie back button) while the PDF is loading.
4. Try opening new tabs, closing the browser window, etc
Actual Results:  
The window will be white and unresponsive until the PDf file is fully loaded.

Expected Results:  
The browser window turns white and becomes unresponsive.

Allow for normal operation (ie switching of tabs, closing the loading PDF tab, opening new windows etc) while the PDf file loads quitley in the background without interruption to normal services.
