Adobe Reader

I USED to have 'instant recognition' of PDF files using my browser - ie if I clicked on a URL ending in .pdf then Adobe Reader would open the file. For some time now the browser (Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7) just stalls and never progresses.
I HAVE Reader 7.0.8 on my hard drive and if I open it and then try to paste the URL I am thwarted as to where to enter it. 'Open' doesn't recognise the URL (unless it is saved to my hard drive) and the inbuilt Yahoo window ALWAYS returns 'not found' when it does an Internet search (AND it strips-out the '//' and '.' characters!).
So HOW do I (re)integrate Adobe Reader with my (Firefox) browser? Do I have to resort to IE6 (which I have but NEVER use)? I'm 'blessed' with the updated version of XP Home.
