    Hi there folks.
    Did any of you ever experience this.....
    I click on a link within a website that opens a PDF.
    After perusing the PDF, I go to close it.
    My screen goes white and my CPU usage goes up to 100%.
    Often the only way I can extract myself from this white screen is to close my browser (firefox) through the task manager, losing all open pages in the process.
    Opening PDF's now scares me.
    If anybody knows a way to help this situation, I would be grateful to know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Reinstalling Acrobat Reader usually cures the problem. Also what version of FF are you using?

    Will give it a spin now.

    Upgrading FF to version 2 might help as well.

    That plugin seems to have sorted it.
    Thanks to the both of you.
