The Adobe Reader 7.0.0 plugin works excellent with Firefoxes from 1.0 to 1.0.6
on Linux. Deerpark Alpha 2, however, breaks it once again. According to the
Adobe Reader README file, it used to work with earlier Betas of Mozilla 1.8, but
it no longer works with Deerpark Alpha 2 GTK2+XFT builds.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Deerpark Alpha 2 and Adobe Reader 7.0.0 on Linux
2. Verify that nppdf.so is listed under about:plugins
3. Visit any website that serves PDF files

Actual Results:  
The PDF file is downloaded and an acroread process is started, but the screen
stays blank and the PDF file is never displayed.

Expected Results:  
The PDF file should have been downloaded and displayed in an acroread process
inside Deerpark Alpha 2.

Computer configuration:

SuSE Linux 9.2
Deerpark Alpha 2 from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/deerpark/alpha2
Adobe Reader 7.0.0

Yes, it's a duplicate of bug 246560 and it's fixed since the problem no longer
occurs in the very latest trunk builds.
