The browser comes with a plugin module called nppdf.so,

~>
sudo rm /usr/lib/firefox-*/plugins/nppdf.so
~> sudo rm /root/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
~> sudo rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
Then verify that the plugin is located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:~> sudo rm /root/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
~> sudo rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
~> ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
Note: If SELinux prevents the Acrobat browser plugin from loading properly, change its security context:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
~> sudo chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
