If you type "about:plugins" as url, you will get a list of installed plugins. To remove acroread, you should find the directory where firefox plugins are installed (/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins on my Gentoo box, but maybe /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins on other systems) and remove the file or symlink "nppdf.so".
