If you really liked Acroread, you can re-install it. As long as you remove the plug-in, Mozilla will honor your choice of an external "helper" app, like xpdf. The problem is, that IF there's a plugin installed that can handle a file, then Mozilla will happily ignore your attempts to set up a helper app to handle it. You might even discover that Acroread will work as an external helper app. But at least then you can have your choice.If this is unresolvable, how I can I tell Mozilla to use xpdf as the default pdf viewer?
I don't know about the error buit to you can change to xpdf is the preferences of Mozilla.
I wasn't able to find a solution to why Acroread chokes in Mozilla, but works fine otherwise, so I removed it by
rpm -e acroread
and then made sure the nppdf.so plugin was removed from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
and restarted mozilla and xpdf is now back to being the default pdf viewer.
I really liked acroread, but I couldn't tolerate it not functioning in Mozilla.
