Can't get the FSM to open up. Crashes Firefox & IE

[EvillE423]

I need to look at the electrical part and everytime I go to open it up in either Firefox or IE it crashes it and makes me restart it. Does anyone know how I can look at it or get it to stop crashing? I've uninstalled and reinstalled and tried to repair it through the dl thing again but it still does it.

Why don't you save it onto your computer then open it on Adobe?

Right click the FSM link ---> Save As ---> Done!

It's the .pdf version. I have Adobe Reader but it still does it for some reason.

Used to do it to me to, ended up having to removed all versions of reader and reinstall, good luck with this.

Firefox's integrated pdf support is crappy. Saving the files and then opening them directly is definitely the best way to view them.

I'm not that familiar with Firefox, but I know in IE, you can turn off the embedding of PDF files in the preferences. I wonder if this can be done in Firefox as well. I usually try to keep it turned off as I prefer that PDF files open in Adobe Reader directly.

Yeah, you can do that in firefox. Go Options > applications and the option's there.

My work machines are "frozen" for failure recovery so every time I restart (often) I have to re-apply that option, so I usually forget to enable it.
