Post Adobe PDF Plugin for Firefox Error
Almost every time I try to open a PDF in Firefox I get this error:


Sometimes if I refresh the page many times, then it will display properly. Anybody know how to fix this?

Windows 7 Pro
Firefox 3.5.7
Adobe Reader Reader 9
(Adobe Acrobat 9.1.0.163: Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape)

Or switch to the free Foxit Reader. Much better for me.

It shows up at the top of the list:

In Options>Applications, Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) is chosen for Adobe Acrobat documents. I just tried changing it to Use Adobe Reader 9.1 and it just downloads it and opens it great. It would be better it if would just open it in the window, though.

I think what it is, is that it doesn't work with Windows 7. Opening PDFs was fine back when I had XP, but when I switched, it stopped working.
