I am not sure if this will help your problem, but here is my fix. I
wrote a wrapper script around /usr/local/bin/firefox:
--------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/zsh -e
# Allow firefox to be executed from a Linux application such as Acrobat Reader
# 8. Acrobat Reader 9 does not appear to need this.
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/bin/firefox "${@}" &!
--------------------------------------
There is a lot more junk in mine, but this allows me to click on links
within a PDF.
