Problem with NortonInternetSecurityBF plug-in and Safari 6.1

When using the NortonInternetSecurityBF plug-in in Safari 6.1 browser, I have problems opening PDF files.  They either open corrupted, or completely fail to open.   When I disable the plug-in and restart Safari, PDF files will load normally.  I also use the same version of the NIS plug-in with Firebox ver 25 without any PDF document issues.  The NIS plug-in is version 1.7.0f37, and I'm running under Mac OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).  The problem seems to be related to Safari only, since Firebox has never failed to download, open, or display PDF files.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
