Firefox will not allow me to download/display pdf files - wheres's the glitch

more options

When I click on a pdf file to download it nothing, zero, happens and I have to switch to IE and start all over to get the pdf file - very incomvenient. I use Norton security software which does a few things to me that I don't like but can't find but since it does not interfere with IE I doubt that it's in Norton so must be fire fox. This is a phenomenon that has just arisen in the last few months or so

Reading PDF files is not Firefox, you can read file external to the browser or with a plugin.

The Download Window closes instantly the download finishes or may not even open at all bring it back with Ctrl+J

You are using Foxit Reader instead of Adobe Reader make sure it is compatible with Firefox 5 if it is running within Firefox, check their site

or install Adobe Reader unfortunately it comes with Adobe Air whatever that it, and being adobe you have to watch out for crapware also being install, McAfee Security Scan, Google Chrome, Adobe Air
