Hi Chris,
I'm using Adobe Reader 7.0 plugin. Also the plugin lives in my home
directory in the .mozilla/plugins folder
not /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
try typing "about:plugins" (without the quotes)in the firefox navigation bar
and see if it has installed the plugin. If it's seeing it, it should appear
in the list of plugins.
Cheers,
Jonathan
