I cannot view PDFs using Firefox in Etch (Testing). I get:

I have these packages installed:
acroread 7.0.5-0.0
mozilla-acroread 7.0.5-0.0
According to http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Acrobat:
Adobe Reader Version: 7.0.5
1. Install Adobe Reader.
2. Create a symbolic link to nppdf.so to your Mozilla plugins
directory.
3. Ensure a copy of acroread is in your PATH.
On my system:
2. /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/pluginsnppdf.so is a symlink to
/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so
3. Acroread is in my path since I can launch it from a terminal
window with the command 'acroread'.
Chris,
I don't have the mozilla-acroread package in my sources for testing,
so I can't test it. However I can run acroread on its own no problem.
Can you?
Hello Adam.
Yes, acroread runs OK. Its just the Firefox plugin that has the problem.
I cannot open or save a PDF in Firefox.
You can't even save a pdf? Presumably because firefox tried to open it
first and foobars?
Just a guess, but do you have execute permissions on
/usr/lib/Adobe/..../nppdf.so?
