When I try and view a PDF file by clicking on a hyperlink, either the browser displays a blank page displaying the word "Done" in the extreme left of the status bar, or the web server informs me that "It does not appear that Acrobat Reader does not appear to be on my system. And this is very strange, in the Help menu there isn't a About Plugins entry. Unless Firefox is different than Mozilla because that's where it was in Mozilla.
