Since upgrading to fc5 firefox won't show pdf docs. I can
save the doc and open it in acroread, evince, etc.

When firefox tries to to show a pdf file I get an error window:

Unable to open document

Unhandled MIME type: 'application/octet-stream'

Hi,

Maybe you can try Firefox extension PDF Download , which helps a lot,

I should have been clearer. I'm using amd64, firefox.x86_64.

I do have:

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so -> /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so

But nppdf.so is from acroread.i386. I don't think an i386 plugin will work with firefox.x86-64. That's why I'm using mozplugger.
