SO tired of waiting on .pdf pages to populate. Shame on Firefox. I shouldn't be spending my time trying all of your workarounds. Just make Adobe work!!
Adobe works fine on my other browsers. I don't have time to read and try all these fixes. It is YOUR job to fix the browser!
.pdf will load if I sit and nurse each page, waiting for it to fully populate, then scroll down to the next page to do the same, and so on. This is absurd.

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
The problem with pdf load slowly try only check if your plugins are updated:
Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Are you sure you're using the Adobe plugin? This article can help you confirm that or switch if you are not satisfied with the built-in PDF Viewer: View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer.
It may not be Firefox. It could be that the file is very large. What I do is to download the file as a PDF and read it later.
All of my plug-ins are up-to-date, according to Mozilla. I only have 10, and I have now set 7 of them to "Ask to activate" since they are applications I rarely use, e.g. Win Media Player, Picasa, etc. WinXP Service Pack 3
The file is very small. It just won't load quickly.

Adobe Reader IS active, but it does not show in the drop down menu under applications as a choice. Adobe Acrobat is there. But disabling that will leave me with nothing.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).
Hi cbr44, although the external application is named Adobe Reader, the plugin is named Adobe Acrobat (you should see this name on the Add-ons page, Plugins category). I'm not sure why Adobe Reader isn't an option. Firefox should always show the external application designated in Windows as the default handler as one of the options.
