Since I updated to Firefox 5.0 it shows PDFs differently, and will NO LONGER print them. The PDFs from these sites used to print okay, and still do print if I use Internet Explorer.

When I click Print on the menu or toolbar, nothing happens. The Adobe style print box does not come up. Print preview shows a blank page with only header & footer.
