I noticed. Why? I left mine at the default (the line you commented out above) and mine works. That is, if I click on a hyperlink to a PDF, the PDF opens in a browser window. > I also created a symlink from > /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so -> > /usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so My link in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins looks like nppdf.so -> /compat/linux/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so Is there another nppdf.so on your system? Maybe you had previously installed a FreeBSD-native Mozilla-family browser? I think that if you're using linuxpluginwrapper you need to point the link to the linux nppdf.so. Just a thought. I'm on 5.4-RELEASE-p8, not 6.0 like you, so that may account for the different path. Or not. But you may want to take a look in that /compat/linux... directory and see what's there.
