Now FF is out of beta perhaps it will work. Ill send the above link to the box I am using 1.5 on.
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.
