Hello,

I never had this issue.

I'm using Firefox from the tar ball format, because has my country
language. It's locate at /opt/firefox.

I just did copy nppdf.so from
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/ to
/opt/firefox/plugins/. And I repeat the process when Adobe Reader
changes its version.

I have builded my own java using the tips at fedorafaq's site. Then I do
a symbolic link from /opt/firefox/plugins/ pointing the java plugin to
its original place.


Bye,
Vinicius.
