How do I get Adobe reader to work with Mozilla or internet explorer? I cannot open files unless I download to my desktop.

When I try to read PDF files I get a message that says" The Adobe Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Exit and try again. This happens with bot Internet Explorer and Mozilla. I can only open if I download the document to my desktop.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I think when we got our windows 7.
