In the last couple of weeks I cannot open PDF files in Firefox. They open fine in Internet Explorer. I have been on the support forum now for over 2 hours and tried EVERYTHING suggested to no avail. It appears this is a common problem. Please help.

I think I have solved it :)

In the address bar there is a padlock icon (but not always) I clicked on that then 'more information' then 'permissions' then changed adobe reader to 'allow' So now all attachments open. I then checked 'do this automatically from now on when the file opening dialog box came up. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Ray
