problem with firefox and pdf's

i don't know if anyone else has the same problem. but it seems that firefox always freezes when i try and open a pdf document on my machine. anyone else have the same problem? any fixes?

well i have noticed this for some time, Firefox seems a bit slower in handling PDF files (which i hate anyway btw), and some of the earlier versions of firefox even crashed when opening one. Make sure you have the latest Firefox version (1.0.6) and try again.
