When try to open PDF document in Firefox 3.5, I got a "switch to" warning message, after clicking "swtich to", then it hangs.

I then have to ctrl-alt-delete to get the window task manager processor to end the "server busy" process, and "switch to" screen re-appears, and after a long 30-40 sec wait, finally the PDF file is opened by Phantom.

I then notice the memory usage in Firefox jumped from 120 to a whopping 200!!....and even after closing the PDF file, Firefox memory stayed at around 200.

If I try to open a few more PDF files, Firefox will eventually crash as it ran out of memory....

I uninstalled phantom, reboot, back to foxit reader, and it does not have any of these problems.

Install the phantom again, and identical problem re-appears.

Please help..
