Ok, I've been working on this issue and I've discovered that under 6-current, 
linuxpluginwrapper installs several plugins, including acroread, and acroread 
works under firefox, but not mozilla.

Why can't we find the "magic" that makes it work for firefox, and also make 
mozilla work?

And then port that magic back to 4-stable?

Is the acroread port in 6-current different than the acroread in 4-stable?
