I should have been clearer. I'm using amd64, firefox.x86_64.

I do have:

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so -> 
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so

But nppdf.so is from acroread.i386. I don't think an i386 
plugin will work with firefox.x86-64. That's why I'm using 
mozplugger.
