After downloading 9.0.1 I can't open a pdf I was previously able to open. Even worse, once I try, everything on the page becomes immune to my cursor and when I close the browser and try to reopen, even hours later, I'm told Firefox is already running.

Since I don't even like this version already, (doesn't show progress of download) what I really need to know is how to get the previous version back.

Why not use an application such as Foxit as a helper application and open the PDF in that window instead? You can set up an application to open PDF files from Options > Applications.

Tried it on both 9.0.1 and 3.5.17 after I dumped the new one. Still doesn't work but it might be the particular pdf giving the problem although it opens just fine on Chrome and IE. Guess I'll make Chrome my default.
