Firefox, OSX, Intel Processor = problem opening some PDF files
Does anyone know of a solution?

The Apple help page says I have 'Rosetta' and that I should be OK. I'm guessing that is with Safari instead of Firefox, however. Most documents open fine (although I occasionally have trouble doing a cut and paste) but about 1 out of 6 prompts an error message. I'd rather not switch back to Safari if I can help it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

1. I'm using Safari, OSX, PowerPC and have never had a problem opening .pdf files.
Maybe you should go to Adobe's site and get the latest Adobe Reader plug in for your browser.

BTW Cut and Paste has never worked for me when viewing a .pdf. The functions are grayed out in the edit menu.

2. What OSX are you using?
And are you using the Latest Firefox 3 or not?
