BTW: Firefox has been out of beta for quite a while. The stock version on 
SuSE 10.0 is 1.07. 

The way the pdf plugin should be installed to work is:
1. find out where firefox is installed:
/opt/MozillaFirefox/lib on SuSE stock releases.

2. in /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins, you need to remove the symlink to 
nppdf.so.

3. in /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat7/Browser, there is a text file, 
Browser_Plugin_HowTo.txt.
There is also a script:  install_browser_plugin
Run this script (as root), and install the plugin in /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib 
when it prompts you. This will copy  nppdf.so to 
the /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins directory.

At this point, you should be able to bring up a pdf properly from Firefox. 
(Note: If you are not using Firefox from the standard SuSE location (/opt) 
it may be in /usr/local/MozillaFirefox/lib.
