Opening .pdf files in Firefox 3.6.13 spawns "infinite" tabs -- amazing!
If I click a link to a .pdf file, Firefox will open up tab after tab after tab -- they go shooting across the top of the tab bar (it's incredible). I can use Task Manager to force FF to quit (and then manually end the Firefox.exe process since it doesn't seem to fully stop in a timely fashion). I have to tell FF not to "save and quit" otherwise on relaunch, it will just repeat the problem. If I just quit and manually relaunch FF, it is OK -- until the next time I open a .pdf link!
I am using XP, so I used Add/Remove programs to uninstall Acrobat, and then I downloaded the new version and installed it. I re-checked the Acrobat plugin from within FF (Tools ->Add-ons->Plugins->Find Updates) and the current version is up-to-date.
Help is appreciated!

Check to ensure that pdf files are not et to "Use Firefox", for details on doing that see Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link.
There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
