    I use Firefox 2 as my browser and Foxit Reader 2.2 as my pdf reader. When I'm online and click on a pdf link Firefox wants to download it instead of opening within the browser. I understand it works that way if you use Adobe. Is there a way to make it work when Foxit is your default pdf reader?

    I'm not sure you can do this with Foxit but this may be a good thing as it keeps Foxit very light weight. Also, update Foxit to version 2.3, get it from their website.

    Got it. It was in the settings for the PDF Download extension for Firefox.

    Good to hear, i was just suggesting an update as having up to date software is good. If you have any more questions be sure to post again. :)
