I would like to install Firefox 19 to my company, but the built-in PDF viewer does not suit our needs. I need a way to ensure when all 300+ machines are updated they use Adobe as the in-browser reader.

Setting the preferred pdf reader on each machine really isn't an option. If I can push a config file out with the package to ensure this, that would be ideal.
