I would like to confirm this bug for i386 and acroread 8.1.1-0medibuntu3.

It seems that Acrobat Reader stores the requested preference data "/usr/lib/firefox" in the file acrogre.conf and reader_prefs (binary file).

Finally I found a workaround. After the installation of Acrobat Reader insert the following to your terminal:

mkdir -p $HOME/.adobe/Acrobat/8.0/Preferences && echo "/usr/lib/firefox" >> $HOME/.adobe/Acrobat/8.0/Preferences/acrogre.conf

It seems that the reader_prefs is generated automatically and doesn't have to be edited. I don't know if this a suitable way to solve the problem for your package. If it is I would recommend:

1.) Install Acrobat Reader.
2.) Check if /usr/lib/firefox/libgtkembededmoz is availiable. If it is, create acrogre.conf with "/usr/lib/firefox".

Note: This would only work for the user that installs the package. Other $HOME directories are not affected.
