After installing Adobe Acrobat, can I revert to Preview for handling PDF from Firefox

firefoxpdfpreview

I was used to download PDF from Firefox and open them with Preview PDF.

Yesterday I installed Adobe Reader and now each time I click on a PDF link Firefox tries to open the PDF with Abode Reader. And it doesn't work even. See the picture below.

enter image description here

How can I go back to the previous behavior?
