It can be helped, but not by us.  It requires changes to code in
Mozilla or, more likely, in Acrobat.  I have noticed it with the Flash
viewer, too.  You can file a bug report with mozilla, but it's
unlikely they'll do anything to suit the rat-poisoning minority, since
it'll probably require substantial redesign / recoding.

I haven't checked, but mouse emulation might still work, see the wiki
under sitemap>tips>xfree86.
