I’ve compiled and installed mozplugger from source (mozdev.org - mozplugger: index) the only hitch was finding where suse puts the plugings (/usr/lib64/browser-plugins) so mozplugger installs in the correct place and then (re)moving the npwrapper.nppdf.so the acroread plugin doesn’t fire up.
It works fine, it is reliable and gives me acroread in the browser. It isn’t quite as slick as the kubuntu version and very occasionally acroread appears outside the browser for a fraction of a second on starting but it always works.
