EmbedPDFPluginCausesFirefoxToCrash < Support

Question

I've had this plugin running in the past. It seems to work with IE, but not very well with Firefox. But with Firefox 1.5, it actually crashes (the browser simply disappears).

This isn't a TWiki issue as such, but is there anything I can do to get the plugin working, or at least to stop it crashing?

I haven't used this plugin for TWiki before, but because PDF's bring Firefox to a screeching halt sometimes I now use the PDF Download extension which I find really convenient. It may not be the optimal solution for you but you could give it a whirl and see if it changes anything.
