The "Insecure, no solution" notes for Adobe Reader 9.x in Firefox state,

"Please note. It most likely won't be enough to simply avoid using this program, as it integrates directly with your browser and may be started (and exploited) automatically by simply visiting a website."

To make Firefox more secure, go to Options > Applications and set Adobe Acrobat files to "Save File". This will prevent them from opening in Firefox.
