Having the same problem, as Peter with Safari and PDF's, even though I do not have Lion installed; I followed Ronni's path. however I found I never had "plug-ins" in either in the HD library OR Home library. Solved the problem with a great PDF utility from:- www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf This is free if private or education users. Also allows Safari in 64bit mode.
