After searching for a certain web page of site, I click on the link, if the link is a PDF link, the screen flash, an adobe box briefly, the goes black.

The extensions and add ons have been updated, still no success.

After the error comes up, hit ok, then refresh the page.

A clunky work around, but at least it will work.

I have tried that countless time. Refresh, refresh, refresh!

I have tried opening in the IE tab add-on thing. Nothing...

I have updated adobe. Nothing...

I copy and paste it a new internet explorer window and that does the trick.... That is not the solution to the Mozilla issue though....
