This hurts my heart. And my soul. And my brain. Your warnings are warranted.

It makes it worse that it seemingly takes place where I live.

Adobe Fucking Acrobat causes my browsers to crash everytime I try to view or download a pdf, even though I have installed the 9.3 patch which is supposed to cure this problem.

Anyone know how to get around this? Its doing it in Firefox, Explorer and Chrome equally.

Use the foxit reader or some other alternative PDF viewer, Acrobat Reader is well known bloatware.

Just installed foxit as default reader but Firefox still crashing everytime it looks at a pdf. Have upgraded to latest Firefox as well. perhaps it is something else, then.

Any ideas anyone?

In Firefox, go to Tools, Add-ons, Plugins and disable the Adobe Reader plugin. Now if you click a link to a PDF file, it will ask what to do (download or open) so you can set it to open it in a PDF reader (not a browser plugin). Or maybe it'll open in Foxit reader plugin, but you can disable that the same way if you want.


Although it's little help for you right now, Firefox 4.0 will be released in a few months. It'll run browser plugins in separate processes, so when a plugin crashes it doesn't take down the entire browser with it.

Just tried to buy tickets to see Conan O'Brien in Chicago and both nights sold out in an hour! Boo!

This sounds amazing. I'm glad they are continually updating FF.

I saw the video of Andy Richter on ABC hinting at a tour, and not but an hour ago I saw Conan's twitter post about tickets. I'm bummed there isn't going to be a show anywhere near me, but judging from your luck getting tickets I probably wouldn't have been able to get any myself!

Want to move. No job, no money. Not experienced enough to work anywhere to get experience. RrrrRRAGE.

EDIT: Ah, there has also been city-wide job cuts where I want to move. I am feeling very grumpy.

Well that has cured the crashing problem, but FF refuses to acknowledge Foxit plugin and just gives me blank pages for pdfs. Doesn't ask what I want to do or anything.

You can set what it needs to do with certain filetypes in Tools/Options/Applications. Set it to always open PDF files in Foxit Reader.

You can also try to uninstall Adobe Reader altogether, then reinstall Foxit so maybe it will accept the plugin, Firefox might ignore the Foxit plugin because it already has another plugin for PDF viewing.

Thank The Great Maker for corticosteroids.
I'll fuckin' crawl to the Enmore Theatre if I have to.

Biert! You fixed it! You are a genius and a scholar!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, the heart of my bottom and promise to take your side in Sab jokes for at least a fortnight.
