Hi,

I am having problems with PDF files opening in web sites. They just come up blank. I have tried to re install the plug in/ programs etc. Ever since the update in Firefox i can not see these.

I am working on a Mac with OS X 10.7.3

Common question here. The usual solution is to disable the Adobe plugin:

If using a Mac, go to the Firefox Plugins and disable the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3. This is a recent plugin update, and as soon as it was installed I noticed that PDFs wouldn't download.
