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 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!

How to set Adobe Reader as the default in Safari 6

When running 10.6, Safari defaulted to Adobe Reader to open documents not otherwise specified by an extension (e.g., docx). However, in 10.8 w/ 6.0 the default reader appears to be TextEdit - which returns garbage from my financial instituitions. I can download the file and then open with AR but how do I set 6.0 to default to AR rather than TextEdit? I am not given the option to select the program to open with by right/option clicking the file link and I am not sure I want to make AR the default for all .txt files.....

The plug-in is there - but the default still is textedit..... looking at Adobe's site they had some issues in the past with Lion and Safari 5.1 earlier this year..... maybe a solution is forthcoming from that corner? However, that was tied to Rosetta sooo....... I'll cogitate some more but any other ideas are welcome..... Thanks for your help this evening.....

Setting Adobe Reader as Default

I use two "readers" on my computer (Adobe and FoxIt). How do I set Adobe Reader as my default reader?

Try repairing / reinstalling the latest version of Adobe 8 / 9 , if this doesn't solve your problem you need to edit the default adobe reader setting in the registry.
For information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the documentation for Windows or contact Microsoft Technical Support.
Go to Start > Run
Type regedit and click OK.
Browse to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.
Make sure that the (Default) value is set for the path where Acrobat or Reader is installed.
The default path for Reader is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe".
The default path for Acrobat is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe".

Setting Adobe Reader 9 as default PDF reader for IE7

Hi,
I made the mistake of installing Foxit Reader on my new PC and am trying to stop Internet Explorer 7 from using it as the default pdf reader instead of Adobe Reader 9.
By re-installing Adobe Reader 9 the problem with Windows Explorer using it was solved but Internet Explorer still keeps trying to open PDF files using Foxit Reader.
When installing the Foxit Suite the installation was not 100% successfull on Windows Vista 64 bit with the Uninstall.exe file not being created and the program not being listed under add/remove programs.
Does anyone know how to set Adobe Reader 9 as the default PDF reader used by Internet Explorer 7.
Thanks for any advice.

How to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

Set Adobe Professional as Default PDF Viewer

Is there a way to set Adobe Professional as my default pdf viewer instead of my Adobe Reader? I know there was a setting somewhere that I changed to accomplish this before, but I can't find it again.

No need to uninstall. The setting you're talking about is under Edit -
Preferences - General, if I'm not mistaken.

How do I set Adobe Reader XI so that a saved pdf will be saved in the last folder saved?

When I save a group of PDF files, I want them all saved in the same folder. How do I configure so that each fille will be saved in the last folder that was used to save, rather than having to browse for the save folder each time?

I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

Set reader 9 as default reader

How do I set reader 9 as my default reader? I also have Acrobat 6 running & when I attempt to read a document it defaults to Acrobat 6 & I get the prompt that I need Reader 9 or later to read this document. In sum--I wish to have both reader 9 & acrobat 6 on my system, but have reader 9 used as my default reader.
Thank You.

You don't specify your platform, and this is important here. Adobe strongly advises not having both Acrobat and Reader installed in the same Windows machine, although it doesn't matter in Macs.
