Please try one of the following scenarios:

a). Open two PDF files at the same time, in two tabs. Close one of the tabs. Is the other tab still functional? In my case the second tab will be empty (with no acroread instance inside it).
Example (just by random search on google for PDF files):
open http://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/map/profile/romania.pdf
open http://www.ecb.int/ecb/legal/pdf/l_02120090124ro00660068.pdf
close the http://www.ecb.int/ecb/legal/pdf/l_02120090124ro00660068.pdf tab
the http://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/map/profile/romania.pdf still looks ok (not sure why, usually it was crashing at this step)
open http://www.ancex.ro/old_ancex/ATT00156.pdf
result: both pdf tabs are freezed (empty, with no content inside)

b) Find a PDF that has links to other PDF files. Unfortunately I cannot give you an example site for this, because the only example I know is a private site with some equipment documentation. When I navigate through the links, after 1-2 links it crashes.

I was encountering this issue with 8.10 also, but never took time to study enough or file a bug. But on 8.10 it was happening a lot faster (always from the closing of the second tab, or clicking on the first link, never later).
