Firefox: Downloads never end

Hi!

When I click on a link for a PDF file the Firefox Download Manager opens up, the file is downloaded until 100% but seems to be never completed ("Cancel" does not disappear and the PDF is not opened).

I just updated to 1.0.4 (from 1.0.1) but that did not fix the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

kind regards,
Heiko

Do you have acroread installed?
If so and it's version > 5.x, did you read this?

or you could try xpdf...
That's what I use and I've had no problems

well, on my computer it opens it up in a different window, but I haven't tried to embed it. I suppose I could. I'll see what I can do...
