The address bar and search bar freeze when I open a PDF document in Firefox 4. I have Adobe Reader X installed.

This means you cannot type anything in the address bar for that tab or any other tab until you close that PDF.

Any ideas? Thanks! :)

Oh it was a problem with Adobe's Plug-in. As per MrKoffee's answer , I noticed that I already had Adobe Reader X installed but nevertheless I went to adobe.com to download it again. When I installed it this time, it said "installing updated patch". Went back to Firefox to check and problem solved! :)

Ps. did not need to disable any previous plug-in or even close Firefox.
