When pdf files are opened inside firefox using the Adobe plugin 10.1.12.15, I am not able to save them to disk. The "Save button" appears on the bottom of the screen on hovering, but clicking it does not offer any action. Neither does CRT-SHIFT-S or displaying the Adobe menu bar and pressing "Save as..." from there.

Restarting of the browser sometimes helps.

Any tips? And no, I do not want to save pdf files as the first option. I want the opened by default in Firefox and save them from there when I need/want to do this.

Solved it. Problem seemed to have been a crashed Acrobat process. Just kill all Acrobat tasks in the task manager, reload the link in the browser and the Save button now works.
