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.
