Side comment -- it works with Mac OS-X and Safari, but of course that
is not on this computer.
PDF enabled, yes.
Javascript turned on, yes. Reboot, yes. Popup windows blocked, but I
just tried unblocking, and it didn't change the behavior.
Relaxing the "Advanced" JavaScript options didn't help either.
At least, I don't have to reload the operating system. I guess I will
try re-installing FireFox and AcroRead.
