I'm sure Firefox has support for pdf files via plug-ins... There must be something wrong with your Adobe Acrobat installation.

Anyway, this came up in Firefox's Plug-in FAQ:

If you have Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.x) installed, Mozilla Firefox will automatically use the plugin. You do not need to do anything.

And a little extra from the Mozilla Adobe Acrobat Reader FAQ:

If you are upgrading from Adobe Reader 6.0.x to Adobe Reader 7.0, uninstall any updates first, in order of installation, then uninstall Adobe Reader. This will ensure a clean upgrade to 7.0.
