I checked with a website that uses digital rights management (DRM)
software that requires the FileOpen plugin for Acrobat.  I checked with
the site (www.xanedu.com) and they only support Windows and Mac.  The
plugin is OS-specific (I looked).

I can't see how install_browser_plugin would work, but it's worth a
shot.  I haven't fiddled with install_browser_plugin before.
