When a PDF page is displayed via the Acroread plugin in Firefox, the (sub) window containing the displayed PDF info never gets focus. This makes it impossible, among other things, to search the PDF using the Acroread search function. If I save the PDF to a file and then display it using acroread, the window gets focus in the normal way and search works perfectly.
What is going on? How can this be fixed?
Thanks - jon

Had same problem. Filed this bug in firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419377
Found out it is actually a fedora bug. This works around the bug:
I added nppdf* to the IGNORE_WRAP= string in /etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper, then ran: mozilla-plugin-config -r mozilla-plugin-config -i
It is reported to be fixed in f9 but above work-around still needed for f8. Seems to be working for me now in f8.
