I don't know if this matters, but the FireFox PDF plugin doesn't use  
Adobe's acrobat to display the pdf, but Apple's PDF viewer.
This may or may not matter, a lot would depend upon where the PDF  
contains something special that only Adobe's software would currently  
handle.

 From the documentation:

The extension uses the built-in PDF support in Mac OS X to display  
PDF documents within Firefox 3.
