I would have sympathy for them if they existed.

I use a M$ browser on a Mac fairly often (OS9, not OSX), and have never had
that problem, or any like it.

Nor have I ever had any problems with pdf's, but I don't view them in the
browser, I download and view with Acrobat. Just click on a link, the
document opens automatically when download is finished. That's the default
behaviour, or at least I've never changed it.

IE for Mac crashes very occasionally if you don't wait for commands to
complete, but that's all. It's probably not very secure either, but I don't
regard my Mac as a secure box anyway (when running MacOS). It's simple and
fun to use, and doesn't often go wrong. And yes, I have PC's too (but no
Windows).
