    Firefox Debug with Mozplugger

    I am currently testing mozplugger with Okular and for the most part works as it should. I am able to view PDF's that are stored in a directory in my custom web application without a problem via Firefox 3.5 and Okular.

    Where I am having trouble with mozplugger is that I have a custom php page that creates a PDF when I click on my custom "Create PDF" link. A FireFox window pops up and gives the choice to "save" or "open" the created PDF. Saving is no problem. However, when choosing the option to "open" the newly created PDF - GIMP opens and not Okular. When I had Adobe Reader installed, Reader would load when choosing the "open" option. In Firefox 3.5 I have PDF applications set to use mozplugger, so I am confused as to why GIMP comes into the picture.

    Below is the output from Firefox debug. I am not sure what this error message means and wondering if someone might be able point me in the right direction.

    linux-20k5:~ # firefox debug
    *** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to enable).

    *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib/browser-plugins/nppdf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Thanks.

    Not sure if the above issue was mozplugger related.

    I added Okular to the "Open with 'Other'" option in the FireFox pop up window. At first GIMP was the only option. But after navigating to choose Okular in /usr/bin it is now another choice next to GIMP.
