Package: mozplugger
Version: 1.14.3-4
Severity: normal
I installed mozplugger in the hope of getting iceweasel to display pdf
documents inside iceweasel itself. I have ensured that mozplugger is
selected for PDF files. I have also tried deleting the plugin
registration database file.
All I get are completely blank pages - no error and no pdf. If I
secondary-click I can manage to save the file to disk and open it in a
separate viewer - this works fine and there is nothing wrong with the
pdfs. But nothing I do can persuade iceweasel to display the file inline
or, even, to fallback to automatically spawning a separate viewer or, at
least, downloading the file or even asking me what to do with it.
iceweasel appears to "think" it has successfully handled the file even
though it has not.
I tried to run this with firefox --debug but that isn't working at
present so didn't yield any information.
