My first two questions are: 1) Do you really need Adobe Reader features or will Evince or Okular or similar work for you? Poppler-based PDF readers are really very good nowadays. 2) Why are you opening in the browser? I have never ever found that to work well, with any combo of OS, browser and PDF reader. I either launch the PDF reader as a separate process from the browser, or save the PDF and then open it. PDF-as-plugin is just plain flaky.
