Not sure why, have never experienced this in previous versions of Windows,
but I can't seem to get pdf files to open in Firefox.
Using the latest version of firefox, video drivers, and adobe reader.
Got adobe reader installed fine, and adobe flash player installed fine,
but still pdf files won't open in firefox.
when I click on a pdf file to open it in the browser, it doesn't do anything,
its like the link to the pdf won't open at all. Happens every time.
Only way I can open pdf's on the web is to right click on the pdf link,
click on 'save link as' download it to the computer, and open it in adobe reader.
I can do that, problem is this is my wifes computer, and she's not as computer
literate as I am, so she has to ask ME to do all that for her whenever she comes
across a PDF document on the web, which happens alot with her taking online classes
right now. don't want her to have to call me every time she needs to open a pdf document
ya know? especially when its something small like a groupon or something she only needs
to view once to print the thing... so it would really be nice if she could bring up pdf's in firefox
so its not so much work on me
thanks

- New Computer my wife bought from Best Buy. I'm on a different computer right now running Windows 7. I'm afraid to put Windows 8 on my computer because we're having enough headaches with Windows 8 on her gateway right now
