Acrobat Reader hangs
Does anyone else have the problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader where the process seems to hang when opening pdf's within the firefox?
I click on the first pdf and it opens, then go back and try to open another and it just displays a blank page. Or when you close out of the first the acroread process is still stuck maxing out one cpu core until I close firefox. Is there a better pdf reader that will open inside a tab or frame within firefox? The web scan page for out scanner opens the pdf within a small window so I need a pdf reader that willwork that way. |

Or use PDF.js.

Ha, I came with the same ida
Have you tried the "PDF Viewer" addon for firefox by Mozilla Labs. It lets you see the file within the browser and download the file if you need it for printing from Adobe Reader. The adobe plugin never worked for me (for especially the reasons you describe). |
@brobr: That is exactly what I just linked to! :p

You can enable the Native PDF Reader in Firefox
See this article on how to enable it |
@ruario Yes, your link was there when I submitted mine (so that I edited my entry). ;-)

So after I have changed both of those settings how do I prevent firefox from using Adobe reader, it still opens in it. |
@willysr: Thanks for the tip; it is even mentioned in the comments section for the add-on; since firefox 15
|
Maybe toggle the "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nppdf.so" in about:config to false?

in my case, i removed nnpdf on /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to make sure that Adobe Reader is not loaded anymore
you will have to restart your browser though |
