Description Randy Berry 2011-07-05 03:07:13 UTC
Description of problem:

PDF's fail to load in browser window when a PDF link is selected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

firefox-3.6.18-1.fc14.i686
mozplugger-1.14.2-1.fc14.1686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load firefox browser
2. Navigate to a page with a PDF download link.
3. Click the PDF link
  
Actual results:
Browser page turns white (blank) then briefly turns black, then white again. PDF is never loaded.

Expected results:
PDF file should load and be viewable from browser window. At least that's the way it has always worked before. Removal of mozplugger at least allows a dialogue box to appear allowing selection to either view PDF with document viewer or download the PDF. I've tried this on 2 machines both running the same versions of firefox and mozplugger. 

Additional info:
For what it's worth the same happens on Spot's firefox4 installed on the same machine. (firefox-4.0.1-2.fc14.1686)

Also filed a bug upstream, https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23696

I tried a build of the current upstream source (1.14.3) and this bug still persists with the same results.

Comment 3 Randy Berry 2011-07-05 21:46:27 UTC
Ah! More info reveals itself.. It's not mozplugger at all it's nspluginwrapper! I downgraded nspluginwrapper.i686 0:1.3.2-1.fc14 to nspluginwrapper-1.3.0-14.fc14.i686 from koji and the problem went away. PDF's now embed in browser window.
 
Sorry for the noise, I'll file a bug with nspluginwrapper.
