Firefox 3 / Adobe plug-in won't install

I upgraded from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 today; but the Adobe plug-in no
longer works.  It was working in Firefox 2.

I have Adobe 8 Pro installed; when I download and try to install the
Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in for Firefox, the installation stops
saying I already have a version of Adobe installed (which is correct).

How do I get Firefox 3 to work with my Adobe 8 Pro?

You don't.  This is a bit of the "right hand not caring what the left
hand is doing."  Firefox likes others to create add-ons for their
product, but does nothing to assist the developers of those add-ons be
ready for future Firefox upgrades.
On the plus side, Adobe is a big outfit and, as soon as they quit
cursing at Mozilla and crew, will update their product to work under
Firefox 3.  If it isn't working within a week or two I'd be surprised.

Thanx -- I'll sit tight until I see an Adobe upgrade.
