Try this.  Start Firefox from a command prompt:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libXt.so.6 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox

That should temporarily fix the problem until you exit firefox.  The
problem appears to be that nppdf.so expects that libXt.so to already be
loaded, which is bad practice.

A hack that will work around the problem (but load more, possibly
unnecessary libraries, depending on what you're doing), again at a
command prompt:

1) sudo cp -a /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.old
2) sudo vi /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
3) search for:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
4) change it to:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libXt.so.6
export LD_PRELOAD

Save the file and make sure firefox is completely closed.  When you
start up Firefox the next time, you should find that Acrobat reader
works, at least until an update comes out that overwrites the firefox
script.
