Several things. There is an error in that PDF. I get an Invalid ColorSpace error, so that could have something to do with it, but I don't get a crash. 
Also, update your Adobe Reader to the latest (9.0.0)
Then try in Safe Mode, if that does not work in a new profile and also read http://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report.

So WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081018 Minefield/3.1b2pre.

In my case, any .pdf I try to download results in Firefox 3.0.5 closing completely with no error messages.  Adobe Reader (v8.1.2) opened, but has the error message "A file I/O error has occurred. The file connection timed out." in the center of the window.
