Adobe plugin for mozilla

[Darin Perusich]

do you have the plugin listed when you view about:plugins?

there is a bug which causes mozilla to seg fault when using the PDf 
plugin, mozilla starts to load the read then dies. this exists on 
solaris still, i'm not sure about linux. you can get around it by adding 
the line 'pref("plugin.soname.list","libXm.so");' to mozilla's unix.js 
preferences file, removing $HOME/.mozilla and reopening mozilla.

When I try to load a pdf in mozilla the helper runs but the pdf never loads. What is the trick to getting this to work?  Thanks
