Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration. Use browser to download file

I am using a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I recently upgrade to Adobe 11.0. Since then, I cannot read/open any documents. The message above (condensed) pops up. I went to Preferences on Firefox to make sure Adobe reader was being used, still no luck.
Thoughts?

The Adobe Reader plugin may not be working properly on Mac.

Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document.

    You downloaded Adobe... what? Adobe has tons of applications.
    Which Adobe product did you download?

    I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.”  What do I do?  I have opened this up in the past without a problem. 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    And... did you do what the message tells you?

    Nothing to do with the download; you need to open Adobe Reader once after the install is complete, and accept the EULA.

  • Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must first launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.

    Using Google Chrome, when attempting to open a PDF document, the following message appears:
    Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must first launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.
    On my Mac, there is no way to just open Adobe Reader and accept the ELUA.

    Hi Tbeirne,
    If you just want to save a pdf opened in Safari to your machine use the save as option from within the Reader plugin window. Just click on any of the buttons highlighted in below screenshots to Save a pdf at any location on your machine.
    or
    To summarize the issue, if you had opened an Internet PDF in a browser plug-in, you must use the save feature in the plug-in, not the Safari File > PDF Export, or File > Save As...
    Please let us know if this solution works for you and you are able to save and view PDFs files locally.
    Regards,
    Shashi

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.
