The "useFrontEndProgram" parameter is bad. With Acrobat Reader 7.0, I got this to work by using the following line in mozpluggerrc:

repeat swallow(acroread) fill: acroread -geometry +9000+9000 -openInNewWindow "$file"

This launches the viewer in the tab and opens the file and prevents it from simply being opened by any currently running acroread process (openInNewWindow option). However this still seems like a hack because it opens the new window for an instant (you can see it), then immediately "swallows" it to the tab. It also launches another acroread process, which is quite a memory hog. I wasn't able to find a way to get every tab with pdfs open to share the same process yet display different documents.
