Adobe reader x installed but doesn't function. Tried to uninstall and this message appears.

Firefox has a side program called plugin-container.exe. Maybe the error indicates that plugin-container.exe is still running?? If exiting Firefox does not let you uninstall Adobe Reader X, you might try restarting Windows and going straight to the uninstall without restarting Firefox.
