I can't use scrolling in tabs when a PDF tab is open in Firefox 4.

If I have a PDF open in a tab, I can't use my mouse scroll in other tabs until I close the PDF tab. I can scroll fine in the PDF tab. Did not have this problem in Firefox 3.5 (skipped 3.6).

I have this exact same problem! Rather frustrating when you're switching between a PDF and a regular page. :(

I'm on a laptop and using the two-finger drag to scroll. If a PDF tab is open, but my selected tab is not the PDF, when I scroll, it scrolls the PDF and not the page you're on!

I was on 3.6 and this problem was NOT there; it only showed up on FF 4.0
