It isn't working here Steve, won't even fetch the front page.  Java, and

As far as the acroread v firefox debate is concerned, ff is not calling 
acroread anymore, but either Okular or foxitreader.  I insulted the minds 
that made that choice for KDE and got to tell the author of one of them 
Okular I think, that he needed to do a hell of a lot more alpha testing 
because no way in hell was it good enough to be a beta version.  No sizing 
controls available, and when I send a text file or a gfx file to my brother 
laser, it prints as if it thinks the printers pixel is about 600 dpi 
horizontally, while its 300 dpi vertically. 2 months ago, before KDE 
swapped all this around, that printer worked flawlessly and did exactly 
what you told it to do, now I am missing the right hand 2 or 3 words of 
everything I try to print.  Where I came from, we spread that stuff on the 
fields and with enough of it and rain, get 220 bushels/acre.  If someone 
has an older copy of FF, and could post the line in about:config that calls 
acroread %f, it might be just what the Dr. ordered.

I may have found it, but haven't tested it yet.
