Re: Adobe reader in Firefox -- PCTECH

Thanks folks.

After the one suggestion, I left it open for two hours, and it was still a no-show.

I did also un-install the reader, and even re-downloaded it and installed it again, and no show.

I will repeat those steps, but after I have investigated Joel's hopeful suggestion on this, because there are some unexpected things Firefox does with downloads (of course mostly better than IE, in my opinion).

You can also try something like this

to increase the loading speed of Adobe.

Hi folks,

I've brought my Firefox up to 1.0, but I have a gap with plugins.
Specifically, and most importantly, the dot-pdf's for the IBM reference
manuals (like RPG, APIs etc) are coming up just plain blank, and status
reads "Done" almost immediately.

When I bring up the Adobe reader 6.0 first (another recent
download/upgrade) it shows a dialogue box telling me PDF documents on
the Web can be viewed using Netscape or IE but "this feature is
currently disabled" and asking me if I want to enable the reader for
Netscape and IE. I click "Yes" every time, and yet the behavior isn't
changing.

What am I missing here?
