Mozilla FireFox users, do you have trouble downloading academic papers (as PDF files) from SSRN?

I do. I notice that PDF file downloads work fine with MicroSoft Internet Explorer. But when I download a PDF file from SSRN with my Mozilla FireFox, it says that the PDF file is corrupted when I try to open it with my Adobe Reader. Should I blame FireFox, or can&#8217-t SSRN handle FireFox well? Who&#8217-s to blame?

BEWARE THE BLOGGING ACADEMICS: They are not blogging to inform us -they are blogging to promote themselves.

The New York Times on the brand-new SSRN ranking functionality:

Bloggers like Mr. Reynolds [a university professor] tend to do well on the site, since they can promote their work and offer links to their articles.
