I guess I have just figured out what's going on here.  It was ubufox
behind all this.

For people who were also upgrading from Hardy, you might want to disable
the extension ``Ubuntu Firefox Modification'' (which comes from package
``ubufox'') and turn it back on.  I also had a complete purge/reinstall
for all the firefox stuff before that, just not sure whether it's
relevant or not.

In my case, that solved my problem.  Now I can open PDF file with
/usr/bin/xpdf without any problem.  I had this idea somewhere else
suggesting ubufox might conflict with other extensions.

Packages:
  firefox 3.6.8+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
  firefox-branding 3.6.8+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
  ubufox 0.9~rc2-0ubuntu2.1
