PDFs do not load in Firefox, they do when I'm in Safari. If I'm on a website and I click on a pdf link, nothing happens. It has happened from multiple sites.

PDF files do not load in Firefox. I click on a link for a PDF and nothing comes up. It happens at every website. I've been using Safari because PDFs open up there just fine. I have all the updated plug-ins, etc. and checked to make sure everything on Firefox was updated. I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.7.3. I've never had this problem before.

I am having the same issue - also on a macbook pro, also turning to Safari. I just get a blank page - no download initiates, nothing happens.

Mac version 6 something or other, same problem in last few days. Did it start after an update? I remember this happened to me a year or so ago and I had to remove the update from adobe reader or the plugin.
