I am not able to get my current version of Firefox 2.0.0.1 to open pdf 
files or to download them. I get an error message telling me that the 
pdf couldn't be opened because the associated helper application does 
not exist. .
I also get a message  from the Download window of FireFox telling me 
that download failed .I don't know what associated helper application 
that is mentioned  or where to find it on my Mac. As far as I am able to 
remember this started when I upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.0

I am using a Mac G5 2.0 GHz desktop, with 1GB DDR SDRAM,  64 MB VRAM, an 
external 120 GB LaCie FireWire hard drive attached & a 20 inch Cinema 
Display .
With MAC OS 10.4.8 installed,  Normal internet connection through 
Verizon FIOS,  E-Mail using Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 & with  Firefox 2.0.0.1 
as my main browser.

Have a good day R Schwager
