Since changing to Firefox my Adobe Acrobat 9 will not read PDF files

more options

Since changing to Firefox as my web browser, I am having problems accessing PDF files on the web. Adobe Acrobat 9 gives an error message that says: ""The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. I have never had this problem before. I have reinstalled my Adobe software without effect - the error is still present.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== from when I installed Firefox

Or get the Foxit reader. It's much smaller and much, much faster than Adobe. And it's free.
