[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1417099, member: 71075"] You can blame Adobe for this one. Adobe decided that the only browser that they would support with their plugin was Safari which, at the time, was the only browser to already come with a plugin. You can either use Safari, Chrome (which has its own plugin) or install the Schubert PDF plugin which works everywhere ([URL="http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/"]source[/URL]). I use that plugin with Opera and it works like a charm. There's a difference in OS X between closing a window and quitting an app. Unless an application only draws one window, the red X will only close the window. If, however, the application only has one window (System Preferences for example), the red X will quit the application. [/QUOTE]
