In part (a) of my question I did not change anything at all, but suddenly lost the ability to have tabbed pdf files and could not get it back. So today I saw that the reader plugin was out of date.

Adobe reader XI (updated today from X) works by itself, but the plugin, which FF told me to update, and now says "up-to-date" does not work at all, and I will be forced to use IE, which I hate, to do my job.

Yes I rebooted the machine when told by Adobe installation.

Firefox has a built-in PDF viewer. Your preference might have gotten switched from Adobe to the built-in viewer. To check and update that setting see this article: View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer. Does that help?

Actually I wanted to use the built-in viewer, but I could not get it to work, because I was confused--there is one item that states "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 document" (setting this didn't do anything) and another which is the correct "Portable Document Format..." which I have now set correctly so it works for my coursework on Blackboard. For some weird reason many sites which I usually download pdf's from seem to be "not found" 404 err, etc, and I can't test things.

Maybe solved, can't test.
