Odd. I downloaded Acroreader to see if I could reproduce this. I can't. Indeed, using Firefox (1.0.7) just starts Acroread externally without any intermediary transient window. > Acrobat Reader starts, but is immediately lowered behind the firefox > window, before I can even move to give focus to it. > > This is highly inconvenient. Indeed, although for me it doesn't happen here. Acroread opens up above Firefox.

With the version of Acroreader I have here (7.0.5), the Class of the window is 'Acroread'. (Case is important). Although even if that line did run, it wouldn't solve your issue of this window being lowered. -- Thomas Adam -- I've been too honest with myself, I should have lied like everybody else.
