Nope - still doesn't work. I've tried copying nppdf.so to the global netscape plugins directory and to ~/.netscape/plugins. It's odd - Unless I'm working the MM Flash plugin (Which essentially installed itself) the "PlugIn" option is greyed out. I can set this up as a help app easy enough, but I'd prefer that it run in the browser. Any ideas what might be causing this?
