This behavior is well known and has been discussed here many times. In short, it's due to a limitation in the way Acrobat and MSIE are able communicate with each other. A workaround is to use an FDF that just contains a /F key (e.g., using FDFSetFile) to perform the "redirection".

Curiously, some have reported that this behavior interferes with their session variables, so it may be browser version or Acrobat version dependent.

As long as the URLs within the HTML are absolute, as opposed to relative, and that you're not using SSL.

I haven't tried Mozilla 1.2, but I haven't heard this happening with Netscape browsers before.
