Here are a couple of really ugly workarounds if like me you have to have embedded PDFs in FireFox.

1 add an application launcher to the panel with the code killall npviewer.bin
click on it when acroread freezes up and then refresh your page

2 switch to the 32 bit version of Ubuntu

3 Remove RAM to 3GB or under (this working indicates that nswrapper is not working properly)

I know none of these are great options but as this is a closed source project we will have to wait for Adobe to fix acroread and that might be a while.
