Firstly, the only issue with PDF was years ago with Acrobat 5.x and the
issue was with Adobe not Firefox, Acrobat 6.x and now 7.x has no issue.
I have had no problems with PDFs in Firefox.
As to lockups, how is Firefox lockups requiring a kill process worse
than IE lockups that at the very least kills the Desktop and the worst
brings down the OS! I do not see your argument here.
What is most annoying however is the all too common progression of your
thread. "My deprecated markup does not validate" NG informs you where
the trouble lies and the reply is "But I want the deprecated markup"
Well then your markup will not validate as strict and also will loose
out on many of the advantages of new approaches to design. It begs the
question why folks ask questions when they really do not want to hear
answers?

Take care,
