I cannot reproduce said crashes when invoking acroread by clicking a pdf
in mozilla-firefox. What versions are installed?

% dpkg -l acroread mozilla-firefox|grep ^ii|awk -F' ' ' { print $3 }'
5.09-woody0.0
1.0-2ubuntu3

I have not tested acroread_5.09-sarge0.1 from
[ftp://ftp.nerim.net unstable/main Packages].

The version of mozilla-firefox that I'm running from
[http://archive.ubuntu.com hoary/main Packages]
is functionally identical to the version in Sid,
[http://http.us.debian.org sid/main Packages]
which is 1.0-2 .

If you installed mozilla-firefox 1.0 in ~ there may be other issues.

HTH.
