PDF files in Firefox, Fedora 3.

When I open a PDF file in Firefox, I just get a blank page.

We've seen this with Acroread 7.

In Firefox, suggest that you disable the automatic filetype
plug-in handling for PDFs (Edit, Preferences, Downloads, Plugins, PDF, unclick Enable) and have Firefox opening PDFs in Acrobat Reader (/usr/local/bin/acroread) by default. This causes the document
to open in a new window.
