When I encounter a site that requires me to fill in a pdf form the browser opens in Adobe Reader and not in the browser. I have checked off in Adobe Reader to open pdf's in browser but it still will not.

I do not think adobe reader works as a plugin for Firefox on Macs, ( but a PC user myself so I can not check). See Installing and updating Adobe Reader

Note specifically comments in the Mac version of that /kb/Using%20the%20Adobe%20Reader%20plugi... about alternative plugins.
