Look at the section of the /etc/mozpluggerrc:
application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
# repeat swallow(documentShell) fill: acroread -geometry +9000
+9000 +useFrontEndProgram "$file"
# repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"
repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: /usr/bin/acroread "$file"
repeat noisy swallow(gv) fill: gv -safer -quiet -antialias
-geometry +9000+9000 "$file"
I commented out the xpdf line and added an acroread line. That will do
the trick.
There is also a plugin available either from Adobe in their tar ball or
there is a separate AdobeReader plugin rpm that puts the plugin in:
/usr/lib/firefox.x.x.x/plugins that will make adobe reader work in
firefox.
