When a link embedding a pdf file is opened in Firefox, a window pops up saying
'Acrobat plug-in' - "this operation is not allowed". The same links open in IE
easily. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any url linked to a pdf file
2. Adobe launches itself and then stops, popping a window with the message noted
above
3. when you click ok, the window reads 'done'

Actual Results:  
pdf files cannot be read in firefox while IE is happy to do it

Expected Results:  
Firefox should be able to do this simple function.
