Marcel T Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Check the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins" folder (or wherever you installed Firefox) for "nppdf32.dll". If it's not there and you have Acrobat/Reader installed, just do a search on your computer for it and copy it to the Firefox plugins folder. On mine it's also located at "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Browser". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexor Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Which version of Fx and Acrobat do you have? I had to upgrade acrobat to 8 before it would load in browser with Fx3b3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
