In Firefox, Edit->Preferences, click the Applications tab, look for
application/pdf and make the obvious adjustments.

I find that for nearly everything else, chromium works better than
firefox, but for PACER, only Firefox supports RECAP.  You do use
RECAP, I hope.

PS: On my FBSD 9.0, acroread8 works OK, much slower than evince but in
some cases it renders the PDF better, and often translates to
postscript better for printing.
