Moz won't open PDFs; Galeon will
Using Mozilla 1.4-6 from sid, I can't open any PDFs on the web. I click
on a PDF link, and a blank mozilla window (not an external window, like
xpdf or acroread) opens, and it acts like it's downloading, but the Moz
window stays blank (except of course for the menus and icons and address
bar and scroll bars, etc). I have mozplugger installed, and I suspect
that's part of the problem.
When I click on a PDF link in Galeon, a new Galeon window opens, the
progress bar at the bottom right fills up, and then the PDF document
appears in the window, just like it should.
Konqueror opens up a separate xpdf window and then opens the document fine.
I get the same behaviour (from all three apps) when logged in as a
different user.
There is no .mozpluggerrc in my local .mozilla profile.
The relevant portion of /etc/mozpluggerrc is here:
application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
repeat swallow(acrobatreader) fill: acroread -geometry
+9000+9000 +useFrontEndProgram -tempFileTitle acrobatreader "$file"
repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"
repeat noisy event_swallow(gv:) fill: gv -safer -quiet
-antialias -geometry +9000+9000 "$file"
Any ideas? Thanks!
