The instructions on the Adobe site for Firefox are out-of-date and only apply to older versions of Firefox. You have the most current version of Adobe Reader (ver. 9.3.2) shown in your plug-ins. For future reference, use the instructions below for updating or installing Adobe Reader. You can see your version in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, look for "Adobe PDF Plug-In".

Install/Update Adobe Reader for Firefox: your ver. 9.3.2; current ver. 9.3.2 Check your version here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader You may be able to update from the Adobe Reader installed on your system instead of going to the Adobe site and downloading. Start > Program Files, find and click Adobe Reader to open, click Help, click Check for Updates. If you go to the Adobe site to download the current Adobe Reader: -use Firefox to download and SAVE to your hard drive (save to Desktop for easy access) -See the images at the bottom left of this post to see the steps to take on the Adobe site -exit Firefox (File > Exit) -check to see that Firefox is completely closed (Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window) -double-click on the Adobe Reader installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Reader
