Had same problem. Filed this bug in firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419377
Found out it is actually a fedora bug. This works around the bug:
I added nppdf* to the
IGNORE_WRAP= string in /etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper, then ran:
mozilla-plugin-config -r
mozilla-plugin-config -i
It is reported to be fixed in f9 but above work-around still needed for
f8. Seems to be working for me now in f8.
