For some reason I got an error when I selected Open with Software Installer (default) in the Firefox download dialogue. To circumvent the problem, I save the file on the hard drive (e.g. in the Downloads directory -> /home/falko/Downloads)...
... and open a terminal (Applications > Tools > Terminal):
Type
su
to become root and go to the directory where you've saved the Adobe rpm (e.g. /home/falko/Downloads):
cd /home/falko/Downloads/
You can type
ls -l
to find out the exact name of the Adobe rpm. Afterwards, you can install it like this:
rpm -ivh AdbeRdr9.3.3-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
After the installation we can delete the Adobe rpm:
rm -f AdbeRdr9.3.3-1_i486linux_enu.rpm
