fbennett: MLA International Bibliography is a database (in this case maintained by EBSCO, there are also Proquest and Gale versions), distinct from the MLA citation style.

Please don't post in unrelated threads. We try to keep one thread to one topic - this being on PDF import from Proquest.

I have PDF attachments consistently working for me on Firefox, e.g. for the "Senate No Place for Lazy Man" article: http://search.proquest.com/docview/173296630

Now Firefox isn't working either. ProQuest pages show the webpage icon in the address bar, not newspaper or magazine icons, and when I save, the pdfs aren't downloaded.
