thats why I went back to IE... I dont use a lot of pdf files, but there was a week or so where I was using them every day. I got annoyed by firefox freezing up on pdfs all the time, so I went back to IE. Haven't gone back to firefox for no other reason than force of habit and laziness
one smart thing firefox has over mozilla is that they adjusted the drop down menu for tabs.
in mozilla, the close this tab selection was right above the "close all other tabs" in the drop down. So if you were zipping along too fast with the mouse, you end up with the tab you didn't want, and all the ones you wanted open were gone.
dont know if that was the reason it was moved, but I bet more than a few people accidently closed all the tabs they wanted...

Firefox was crap on my Mac OSX platform.
Happily went back to Safari...
I had the same problem.
It would run but wouldn't display.
I backed down to 0.9.2 and will sit there for a while.
The lack of ALT tag popup is by design. However, because many sites are coded for IE an extension is available that will provide a "fix".
Popup ALT Attributes will make Firefox behave like IE and provide a popup for the image ALT tags.
Cool. I was thinking maybe it was a Java thing. Thanks!
Note: I updated my Acrobat Professional and fixed the PDF issue. It was a bug in the earlier version.
