From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) I upgraded to redhat 7.1 lately and am glad to find mozilla is included. I was using redhat7.0 with netscape and acrobat reader from powertools. Now with redhat 7.1, I copied nppdf.so into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, but about:plugin doesn't show the pdf plugin. By the way, when I use mozilla to report this new bug to your bugzilla system, mozilla crashed on me when I clicked "Step 5. Additional Information" , probably it doesn't like me to report its bug :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see description above. 2. 3.
the acroread plugin for ns4.x will not work with mozilla. I believe that acroread as distributed from adobe does include a mozilla/ns6 plugin, but I don't think it's packaged with acroread rpms as distributed with redhat powertools 7.0.
just downloaded/installed the acroread from adobe site: linux-ar-405.tar.gz and I can't find any ns6 plugin file. What file are we talking?
Sorry, I was wrong. I was thinking of the Sun java plugin when I wrote that comment. It turns out that many 4.x plugins don't work with mozilla/ns6, and acroread looks like one of them. Hopefully, adobe will make it work with mozilla/ns6 when they finish up acroread 5.0.
