Hi Aaron,

I don't have a mozpluggerrc file; I do have have a pluginreg.dat
which I believe is similar. It was already set up properly though. For
now, I am going to give up and install 32 bit firefox.

I know about the giving up for now and coming back to it option. I had
to do that for two weeks to get my sound to work. But just for
information:
mozpluggerrc comes in a separate rpm that is not installed by default.
Also the browser plugin that comes with acrobat is still an option. I
wish I could remember the exact name of the rpm, but it is obvious in
the tar ball. [Is there help out there for the rpm name?]

I should have been more specific about acrobat. It shows up in
about:plugins but it doesn't work as a plugin - nothing shows up when
I click on a pdf link.

Look at the section of the /etc/mozpluggerrc:

application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
# repeat swallow(documentShell) fill: acroread -geometry +9000
+9000 +useFrontEndProgram "$file"
# repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"
repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: /usr/bin/acroread "$file"
repeat noisy swallow(gv) fill: gv -safer -quiet -antialias
-geometry +9000+9000 "$file"

I commented out the xpdf line and added an acroread line. That will do
the trick.

There is also a plugin available either from Adobe in their tar ball or
there is a separate AdobeReader plugin rpm that puts the plugin in:
/usr/lib/firefox.x.x.x/plugins that will make adobe reader work in
firefox.
