Opening Adobe .PDF files with Firefox, Windows Vista
For the past few weeks, whenever I browse to a link to a .PDF file, I get an error message from Windows Vista, saying that opening such a file is dangerous, and telling me that it's possible to look for an on-line solution (so far, none is forthcoming, presumably because Adobe hasn't done anything about this). Furthermore, I have to reboot Firefox after such an experience. How serious is the problem that Microsoft refers to, and is there a workaround? There are .PDF files that I need to see.

I am using the latest version of Firefox, and using the AdBlocker extension.

Thanks.

Duh! Upgrading Adobe Reader seems to have fixed the problem.
