Angry Fire Adobe Reader 6.0 Freezes Browser/pc

Hi all,
Anyone ever have this problem? See system description at bottom. Any time I'm online and an Adobe doc opens, I can't go back or click anything. I have to end using task manager and some times even re-boot. AARRRGGG!!!
Anyone have a fix?

When you say "go back" I'm assuming you are referring to browsing a PDF with FireFox? If so, it's kinda a known problem; FF handles PDFs much better with the recent 1.06 release.

tworails,
I updated FF and tried to update Adobe Reader, but reader wouldn't update. Said a file was missing, so I uninstalled it and installed the newest ver. Everything seems fine now. Thanks again.
