Public bug reported:
The Acrobat plug-in in Firefox 3 (Hardy Heron) stopped working. The
problem seems to be that nspluginwrapper was not correctly wrapping
around the actual plugin.
On the broken systems, nspluginwrapper -l showed the wrapper around the
symlinked nppdf.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
~$ nspluginwrapper -l
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so
Original plugin: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.5
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so
Original plugin: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.5
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so
Original plugin: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.5
/usr/lib64/firefox/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so
Original plugin: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.5
There is no reason this shouldn't work, but it doesn't. Running the
following command to wrap around the actual plugin file fixes the
problems:
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib32/Adobe/Reader8/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so
The above line is being used as a fix for this problem for now, but it
would be nice to figure out what's going on.
