Regarding the Sun Java Plugin, I installed it just yesterday
on my up-to-date FC5 system running Mozilla-1.7.13.
When I go to the Testpage above, it says the plugin is installed but
"the dancing Duke logo" doesn't render at all. I see just a white area.
So I'm not sure this problem is related to your acroread problem.
Regarding acroread, I had a problem getting acroread to run in mozilla.
It turned out to be due to a conflict (that I still don't understand)
between mozplugger and the nppdf.so plugin library from Adobe.
Do you have mozplugger installed?
