Acroread black screen in firefox

[wwbdd]

Most every time in firefox that I open a pdf, the window comes up completely black. I seem to have been able to resolve the issue temporarily by reinstalling acroread, but then I get a black screen for the next pdf I open. So I wind up reinstalling acroread several times a day to open pdfs. There has got to be some better solution. Anyone know what to do about this?

I have at times a problem similar generally hitting the reload at the right end of the URL window reloads it to show, I have had to run this reload up to 5 times, using the esc to stop or clicking the url bar and then enter. I have at times had to turn off some of the add-ons like noscript that I have tweaked to block some script needed.

These are pdf's though from research publications through my college library's data base and google scholar, turning off noscript in this circumstance is a fairly safe move. I am running Linux so I have certain amount of built in safety not running in root.

Hard to say if any of this helps, I have started having this problem lately, I'm not sure it isn't a FF4 thing.

mozplugger solved the problem. Thanks.

Hi, I could solve the issue by disabling Adobe plugin
it the preference tab of firefox.
Without doing it it seems that mozplugger and adobe somehow
constrast one each other.

Using FF 10.0.2 in Ubuntu 10.04 and was getting this same problem
for the last few months.
This solved my problem and I didn't even have to restart FF:

sudo apt-get install mozplugger

Thanks!

Ubuntu 11.10. Had to install Acroread to fix other pdf problems and started getting black screen issues.

This fixed it for me too!

Thanks
