How can I fix my Firefox browser so that PDF files from the Internet do not blur and go out of focus?

When I try to open a PDF document from the Internet, it opens, with sharp resolution; however, within a few seconds, it blurs and seems to have multiple copies being shown on top of each other (ever so slightly mis-aligned). Yet, when I use any other browser, the document opens without losing sharpness.

Also, opening a saved PDF document in Adobe Reader does not cause any loss of sharpness.

Running updated Windows XP; Adobe Reader updated; and Firefox updated.

Firefox's built-in PDF viewer overlays a transparent layer of text over a graphical image so you can copy/paste. It doesn't always line up pixel-perfectly, so if the text is not transparent for some reason, you will see double text.

Could you try switching to the Adobe Acrobat plugin? This article has the steps: View PDF files in Firefox or choose another viewer. Does that one work correctly?
