New version of Firefox contains custom PDF files viewer, which is not as good as the standard Adobe Reader. To restore Adobe Reader as default browser for PDF files:
Enter "about:config" in address bar. Double-click on "pdfjs.disabled" to set it to "true". This disables the new browser.
Enter Tools > Options dialog, Application tab, locate "Adobe Acrobat Document" and set it to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This restores Adobe Reader as as browser embedded inside Firefox.
