Ok... well.. here is my workaround.  YMMV.

In firefox:
  Edit -> preferences -> downloads -> plugins
    disable pdfs
go to download a pdf file... tell it to always automatically open with
    /usr/local/bin/acroread7

It opens in an external window, but still saves me a click or two.

Still be nice if the plugin worked.
