Usally a pop-up window opens asking you what to do with the file, you should choose to open it with an application like kpdf or gpdf.

Copy the file /usr/local/acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so to the directory /usr/local/firefox/plugins.
You will need to be root.

Now your pdf files should open in the browser window.

I hope this helps

Is it because my firefox is in my home dir I arked it and that is where it ended up but for some reason i can't move it to /usr/local/firefox/. do you think moving it will help and if so what would the command be in the termanal window to do it... "SU" window thanks...
