Re: [PCTECH] Adobe reader in Firefox

[Alan C <steelville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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).
