Now 'about:plug-ins' shows where it was. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll I renamed it C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\browser\xxxnppdf32.dll and it is gone. I can bring it back by removing the 'xxx' - rename it. Thanks much !

That should force it to open it externally, leaving Seamonkey alone. In theory.. Adobe reader 8.0 has it under Preferences | internet use reader in browser.

Get rid of the Adobe Acrobat plug-in so the browser will prompt you to open or save the file externally. I erased nppdf32.dll from the Mozilla.org plug-in directory as per http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/uninstall.html However - Adobe Reader is still listed in About:Plug-Ins after exiting and re-entering SM 1.1 Am I doing something wrong? DoctorBill It should also list the path there, have a look again ;-) regards Martin Nope across the top of each item is: MIME Type DescriptionSuffixesEnabled No paths shown.

DoctorBill should be above each of that table. (I hope that this also exists in SM1.1.x and not only in v2.0 ;-) ) My SM 1.1.17 does not show paths (on Windows). However I have about 12 instances of that DLL files on my system. Maybe it's getting it from somewhere else in the PATH perhaps. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Can't stop it, can't move out of it - I have to set there and wait. Browsers that are more modern --Webkit-based Safari, Konqueror, Google Chrome and even (yeech) Trident-based Internet Exploder 8[1]-- don't have this problem because they are multi-process; the current incarnation of Gecko is only multi-threaded. There are rumors that Gecko developers will address this. Until then, handle these using a download manager. . .
