I've just upgraded my acroread 5.0.6 to 5.0.7 and now the plugin doesn't work
anymore. I see the acroread splash-screen but then I get only a empty window
instead of the plugin-contents.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use acroread 5.0.7
2. try to open a PDF via plugin


Actual Results:  
empty browser window

Expected Results:  
browser-window with acroread content

this is what I see on the console while trying to display a PDF:
