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
