|     Bonjour,
|
|     I update my f8 system and firefox version is now -2.0.0.14
|     <http://2.0.0.14>.

|
|     the adobe plugin nppdf.so for pdf seems to no longer work with this
|     version....
|
|     Am I right?
|
| Well, it does, but I also have this problem:
|
| http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05a62b

Usefull link to understand.... but some explanations are missing for me:

following the link I discovered the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped
dirctory and the plugins inside; mostly they are symlinks, except

nswrapper_32_32.libflashplayer.so

and

nswrapper_32_32.nppdf.so


How these plugins are created? because they have wrong permissions: 600
so only root can use them! The group also is strange: it is a group
which some user belongs to.... I don't know why this one and not another!

As for the problem you asked, I have the same but no solutions given in
the adobe forum work for me.

The suggestion to install redhat-lsb did not solve the problem, the only
difference is that now when I hear my cpu fan going to fast, I use top
and the name of the culprit has move from "ld-linux.so.2" to "acroread".

As for this solution:

1. Start firefox.
2. Go to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped
3. chmod 0 nswrapper_32_32.nppdf.so
4. chattr +i nswrapper_32_32.nppdf.so

It does not work at all: plugin nppdf.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins is
not detected


Bonjour,

I just removed the 32 bit version of nspluginwrapper, either in 32 or 64 bit systems.

sudo rpm -e nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-18.fc8.i386

This wrapper appeared in F8, and firefox 32 just gets more unstable with the wrapper
installed than without it, in my opinion.

After doing that, just check if the directory
/usr/lib/mozilla/pluging-wrapped is gone.
 
I noticed that in 64 bit systems, it remains there, even after deleting the rpm.
In this case, I also removed the directory.

Anyway, you can always reinstall the rpm afterwards, if you want.
