Does somebody have the same problem or can tell me how to change this
behavior?

Every time I double click the pdf type mail attachment. The PDF is
opened replacing the message (same behavior both in the preview pane and
message window). The problem is this is not the navigator window, it
does not have "BACK" button to go back to the message. Then, how can I
go back and forth to the message. The only way to look at the message is
to select other message then go back to the message again. I would
suggest a button or other interface should be there to go back to the
message.

I was able to not having it opened in the browser in the beginning.
Somehow, it does not work any more. In adobe I never have the property
to "open acrobat viewer in the navigator window" checked. I really want
the navigator open the acrobat viewer.

The other problem and one of the reason I want to have it open the
viewer alone, since when I exit, it will kill acrobat process. I don't
know if this is a bug or just different implementation. If the pdf file
opened embedded in the browser, when you go to another page or close the
page, it doesn't kill the acrobat process. If you notice, the acrobat
still running and taking considerable amount of resource. Then it has to
be killed manually. I've tested leaving it on for a day, thinking there
is a time-out or expire time which kill the acrobat process. But it's
still there until one day, I'm sure that my cache for that has expired.

I'm using windowsXP. How can I change this behaviour? Thanks.

kuas.

Don't install the plugin(or uninstall the plugin(ie delete it from your
plugin folder and restart Moz)) and use Acrobat as a helper application.
