I cannot get a pdf link to display correctly with version 4.0.1. How can I go bak to previous version? This appears to be a browser problem that does not occur for IE9.

Question

When I click on a link to a pdf file (in an email message) using Windows Live Mail, Firefox 4.0.1 opens it as a shortcut and treats it as a pdf app. I can read the pdf file, but cannot save or print it. This is not the case if I use IE9. There never was a problem using the previous version of Firefox. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

See ''tmaca's'' post, 3rd one up from the bottom. He seems to think you can update it manually: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/822003#answer-184670
Officially though, we're still at this stage: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808 Norton product compatibility with Firefox Updates]
If you want to revert to the previous secure version, do the following.<br><br>
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).<br><br>
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br><br>
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
