How can I stop getting demand to update Adobe Reader when Foxit is set as my default reader?
Windows XP, Firefox 18. Foxit is set as my default reader, but you (Firefox) keep demanding I update Adobe reader while blocking Foxit from opening. I do not want the current Adobe reader on my machine. Why won't Firefox respect my choice of default reader?

hello, first remove the adobe reader from the windows control panel / programs section & then choose foxit as default option to open pdfs: Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files
Thank you, madperson. I got rid of the Adobe problem.
Thank you for pointing me to that Applications section. It looks to me as though I don't have the option to have Foxit open PDF files in Firefox even though I have "activated" the plug-in. Is that correct? In other words, I have to wait for the Foxit software to open to see the document?
i'm not using foxit myself so i'm not sure, but in case it has a plugin listed in firefox > addons > plugins it should be possible to view pdf documents within the browser - for more details please refer to foxit's instruction: www.foxitsoftware.com/support/showfaq_technical.php#rdr_69
Hello again, madperson. I spent a lot of time this afternoon trying to get back to you but just couldn't find the right place in Firefox...very frustrating. Have just now found an e-mail w/ link back here.
I am just beginning to get the idea that updated Foxit software is not the same as am updated Foxit plugin for Firefox. Firefox is telling me that I have a Foxit plugin installed, v. 2.2.3.111, but I am not sure how current that is.
I took the link you suggested here (thank you!), which does offer some Foxit plugins for Firefox. However, the latest seems to be for Foxit 5.3, and the new Foxit software I downloaded today is 5.4. So where does that leave me?
Thank you so much for your help!
