The plugin for firefox (mozilla) was installed to: /root/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so When I did: nsplugginwrapper -v -a -i it found the plugin, and: nsplugginwrapper -l lists it as installed, but firefox doesnt load it. So, I removed the plugin with: nspluginwrapper -r /root/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so then, moved the file nppdf.so into /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins and then, reinstalled it from the new location with: nsplugginwrapper -v -a -i Now firefox loads the plugin and it all works as expected. I dont know if this is a packaging problem with acroread8, ie maybe it should drop the file nppdf.so into /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins instead of /root/.mozilla/plugins - - - or maybe this is a problem with the wrapper not setting up the plugin properly. Anyway, this was the problem I encountered, and how to fix it manually in case anyone else is seeing this. Cheers, Tim.
