As I wrote before, the plugin is working perfectly in firefox after
creating the link, BUT ONLY if the url is "*.pdf". Looking at Windows,
Acrobat is opened in firefox even though the ending of the url is not
".pdf". I guess that for windows the plugin is used whenever the mime
type is pdf, but I haven't looked into that. (Concrete example is the
ebsco host database, if some of you have access to it..)
