On an 8.2 beta3 install, when clicking on a link that points to a microsoft word document (.doc) in mozilla, I get a beige screen and on the bottom of the browser, right to the right of the little navigator, mail, composer etc buttons, it says "Running helper". Nothing ever happens, abiword never comes up. Looking at the output of ps ax, it seems that plugger is launching abiword 4 times, then killing those processes, trying to run it again, eventually it runs 4 times, etc. Running ps ax|tail twice in a row shows this:
