firefox and acroabat reader ?
 

hi
when I log in as normal user, firefox can not read pdf, it says could not open acrobat reader 7.0. make sure it exist in path variable
if I log in as root firefox can open it wihout a problem
how can I get arround this?
Thank you

Can you run the acroread program from a terminal. You can enter: which acroread
If it doesn't show up, it is probably in /usr/bin/. If you need to add a path, you can edit your $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.bashrc file
add the lines:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
export PATH

this is what i get from which acroread --> /usr/bin/acroread
when i echo $PATH , i see /usr/bin already in there. but still firefox can not open pdf
Thanks

Can you run the following command and show us the output?

Thanks
I have it solved now.
What I do is I simpliy remove every file acrobat has in my system and do a clean install

You reinstalled firefox, or acroread I hope and not the distro. I was going to suggest going to the edit -> properties -> downloads and check if pdf is clicked in the helper program area. I couldn't find where you can enter in other helper program based on mime types. A lot of configuration options are hidden. You can access them entering "about:config" in the Location bar. I couldn't find it there were other hidden protocols however. The best I could find was "browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force" which could help.
