How can I prevent PDF's from freezing FireFox

[maroon1]

I use firefox, however, i have noticed that there is a problem with firefox, don't know if it's just me, but with IE it seems to work fine, when I click on a pdf file, firefox freezes for couple of minutes, and it starts eating up my CPU usage, and I have to 'force end' the acrobat.exe file , and it takes some time for the firefox window to get out of its frozen state.
