Troubleshooting
Check if [http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/ MozPlugger] is correctly installed in Firefox. Type about:plugins as address in Firefox. It shows a list of all installed plugins and [http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/ MozPlugger] 1.6.0 must be there with a list of extensions.
If that's not the case: Remove the automatic action for PDF files in Firefox: Edit -> Preferences -> Downloads
Remove also potential pdf plugin(s): Edit -> Preferences -> Download, then click on the plugins button and disable the pdf extension
You need also to remove the plugins:
Close Firefox
The plugins are in that directory /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/.
then
rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat
Finally reinstall MozPlugger
Now you should see the Plugin correctly installed with about:plugins.
