I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 7.0, it works fine in IE, but when I try to open a PDF in FireFox, it will launch the actual Adobe Acrobat application and give me this error dialog box:

Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please press the refresh button in your browser to start Acrobat.

In IE, the PDF will open fine within the browser, but I can't get this to work in FireFox, I even went in to the options/preferences and manually selected Acrobat.exe but I still get the error. Any ideas?

Latest version of Firefox?

Iused to have a major problem with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and Firefox closing the webpage PDF but since I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 7.0 everything is smooth as silk.

Try uninstalling both apps and reinstalling.

go into the options, the internet portion, and just have the pdf open up in acrobat reader instead of the browser session.
