Ihad to replace the hard drive on my laptop a few months ago, meaning a re-install of Firefox. PDFs used to open for me in Foxit Reader, which I really liked. Now everything opens in a black page and usually I have to do a lot of fiddling to get anything to print properly; with the Foxit Reader I never had these issues. Wondering if I can get it back.
This is something you can change from your options menu, in the upper right click the button with three horizontal lines and select options. From there make sure you are under the General category on the left and then scroll down to the applications section. In this section you can chose the default action for opening file types, click on portable document format (.pdf) and if foxit is installed on the computer you should have it listed here. Once you change that foxit should pop up for you again.
that was my first step. Foxit Reader isn't listed as an option, that's why I wondered where it was. I have never installed it myself; it just always seemed to be there. Searches of Firefox show no mention of it anywhere.
Foxit isn't a firefox software and install problem you should direct that to foxit support. Also could be a 32 bit to 64 bit firefox install that could also remove previous unverified addons from running on the new install.
