Are you saying that exact link crashes for you?  I use Firefox (2.0.0.12 
on Windows) full time.  That's how I found the page.  Works fine for 
me.  I have Acrobat 8 installed.  I know there were some bugs with 
Firefox and Acrobat Reader 7, but I thought they had been worked out.

It does have an <embed> tag for a PDF chunk; I don't remember seeing 
that used before.
