Simultaneous Trial and 2.7

I would like to try 3.0 but of course I am hesitant after reading all the problems many are having.
how do I download the trial version and keep my 2.7 version. If I don't like the trial is it easy to delete it or just avoid it until the bugs are fixed?
thanks

Thanks, Pete for confirming that a parallel installation is indeed possible.
I'd just add the caveat that one should be wary of doing too much work in a LR3 version since the LR3 catalogues cannot be used by LR2.7. I reckon saving all metadata from the catalogue to DNGs or side car files first and then reimporting them with LR2.7 would work, but I'm not sure what may get lost in the process. There seems to be an issue because I come across many users who complain about LR3 and wish they could just take their catalogues back to LR2.7.

Most people have no serious problems with LR 3.
I doubt you have the data to make that assertion. I don't have the data to make an assertion to the contrary but I guess one shouldn't make statements in the absence of data. What may seem not serious to one person might be serious for another so I think Diana is well-advised to be cautious.

CC subscription just reverted to trial and no longer works (Flash CC / CS6)

After six months of using Flash CS6 (Creative Cloud), last weekend I decided to try the Premiere CC Trial.
That worked great and at the same time my Flash just switched to trial and became unusable (trial has expired already)
I've tried everything suggested by Adobe Technical team so far and more which involves the usual unistalling everything and reinstalling, logging out and in, cleaner tool, etc.
Still nothing will fix it.
I think I noticed an update to the Creative Cloud app at about the same time - I'm wondering if it is this causing the issue....
BTW, inside the Creative Cloud app, my account shows my valid subscription to both Flash CC and Flash CS6... and several other items show 'Install' rather than 'Try'
Please help!
(I posted this in another discussion as reply to a similar issue but the topic is flagged as answered so I'm guessing starting a new discussion is the right thing to do..)

Hi Ankit,
I am so frustrated by this - I have already lost days of my time trying to fix this. Not to mention the thrill of paying for software I can't use.
I have literally uninstalled and reinstalled everything I can think of a dozen times or more.. seen the post you mention already.
I have never changed languages... seen all the other stuff on the other thread too.
But guess what.. that is all pretty irrelevant because I was assuming that this was something to do with my particular machine.. but it isn't.
The proof? I went to my Mac which can also run the CC software and has been doing so just fine.. till.. you guessed it.. today..
Just tried that and the same thing has happened.. all reverted to trial.
So it is at your end... on your servers.. it has to be, right?
And all this nonsense you are dishing out here is just a massive waste of time. Well I'll need to fume in the corner for a bit longer I'm afraid.....
So.. trying to get calm and rational again...
The only thing I have changed on my account online is my id and password because I have literally tried everything I could think of... even that.
So my adobe id has changed.
I am signing into CC with the correct id and password.
Unless you are going to tell me that that has broken my Mac versions then please do let me know what on earth is supposed to be going on here...
Thanks
M.

Is it legal to sell photos edited in trial and beta verisons of Photoshop?

I recently downloaded the new CS6 beta version of photoshop and since I am interested in stock photography I was wondering if it's legal and not againts Adobe's rules to sell photos edited in trial and beta versions of Photoshop? I mean, since you haven't bought them and just trying them out.
I really haven't found info about it, yet. Adobe terms and policy are little overwhelming
Thanks.
p.s. I hope I asked the question on the right place

The last time that I read the EULA, the only restriction on commercial or production work was on beta/pre-release software. So you could use the CS5 trial but not the CS6 beta.
See section 4.a . here:

i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
Quit the CC Desktop application,
Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

Please help, Thank you.

Your photos remain in place, the catalog you have been using will remain. After you install Lightroom from the CC, all you have to do is open your existing catalog and continue right where you left off.

I tried the Aperature trial and liked it, but did not purchase it when the trial ended. A few weeks later, i purchased snow lepord and purchased aperture via the app store. I have had not been able to use it since. Each time i open it , afer a few seconds i get the spinning wheel of death and Aperture is frozen. I have to force quit Aperture to shot down mycomputer. I have re-installed Aperture 3 times with th e same result. I have iphoto on my computer as well is this causing the problem? I want my money back!!! Can anyone help?

You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Hi there,
I just finished with my 30 day trial and then purchased the monthly student membership. My payment went through but I am still not able to open my apps for creative cloud. I really need this fixed as I am in the middle of doing a school project. If anyone can help that would be great!

PE8 Trials and Tribulations

This is the story of my four day experience installing and running PE8. For some of you there are tips that may help fix your problems. For others you will simply relate to my experience. For those considering purchasing PE8 I highly recommend that you do your homework before jumping in.
I've been using PE4 for the last two years and was quite happy with the features and flexibility. I consider myself a prosumer/serious hobbyist and have extensive geek experience. My usual jobs consist of importing HDV video from DV tape that was recorded with a Canon HV20. I combine the video with still shots from a Canon 20D in JPG format, throw in some music, and make short (<5 min) videos. I render and export in Widescreen DVD format (both PC and disk) and to H.264 HD format (both PC and Blu-ray disk).
Last week I decided that I should finally upgrade to the newest version just to stay current. I didn't read any reviews or do any research since I've always had a high level of respect for Adobe quality. Unfortunately my experience with PE8 has not been good. I've spent the better part of four days trying to get it working properly. I've had successes and disapointments. Some of you may benefit from the fixes that I used and I hope they will get you going with a functional and stable platform.
System:
Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600) native 2.4 GHz, overclocked to 3.0 GHz
4 GB RAM
1 TB striped RAID (RAID 0 for speed)
Nvidia 8800 GT
Samsung SH-S203B DVD RW
Pioneer BDR-203 BD RW (Blu-ray)
Vista x32
Installed PE8, updated to the latest version of QuickTime (7.65.17), and went merrily off working on my first project. I immediately started having stability issues. Crashes without any warning, crashes with "out-of-memory" messages, crashes with "unknown cause" messages, crashes to the BSOD, couldn't render anything without a crash, overloaded processors even when the program was idle AND after it was closed, etc. Not good. All this on a platform that is extremely stable with every other software package I run.
After spending a couple days researching the issues I applied some system modifications that actually fixed most of the problems I was having. In fact the program only crashed once or twice following the changes - a tolerable frequency as long as I saved frequently. Prior to the changes it was crashing very frequently.
Here's the steps that got my PE8 running stable (insert reboots in the usual places):
1) Uninstalled existing QuickTime and Nvidia drivers (QT 7.65.17, Nvidia ?)
2) Installed QuickTime 7.3.1 and updated Nvidia GeForce drivers to v195.62
3) Uninstalled GeForce Stereoscopic 3D Driver (this doesn't affect your 3D gaming unless you use 3D glasses)
4) Disabled the Auto-Analyzer "feature" in Elements Organizer
5) Disabled Background Rendering in PE8
After taking these steps the only really annoying problem that still existed is that "Adobe Premier Elements.exe" continues to run after closing the program. It hogs about 25% - 100% of the 4 processors but doesn't appear to be doing anything. And yes, I did leave it running overnight just to see if it would ever finish whatever it thought it was doing - nope.
Overall I was very happy that the mods fixed 90+% of my stability issues. I completed my 4 minute video without much trouble and then...I tried to render the final product. The standard DVD quality rendering works great - in both PC executable and disk products. The HD 720p works fine in PC executable format. But the one thing that I really need to produce is H.264 or MPEG2 at 1920x1080. In the final product everything seems to render okay and the video starts out okay but at exactly 30 seconds the audio cuts out. The interesting thing is that I can start from any point in the video and the sound lasts for 30 seconds and then dies.
I found a post where another person was having the exact same problem with standard resolution PC output and they were able to fix it by selecting the Advanced button to open the Export Settings, selecting the Audio tab, and then selecting MPEG for the audio format. If you are having this audio problem you should definitely try the above fix! Unfortunately, for the higher res HD output no such option exists under the audio tab. There is perhaps a 3rd option to fix this problem and that is to buy another video editing program, read in the corrupt PE8 output and re-render. Apparently this has worked for some folks but I'm refusing to buy another program just to fix the errors of the editor I already have.
In summary, if you are having stability issues try the fixes I've listed above. They could potentially fix your problems and get you up and running. As for me, I can't find a way to get around the audio problem and it's the one last thing preventing me from having a functional PE8. I plan to return the product (ordered from Adobe online) in the hopes that voting with my dollars will encourage them to fix the PE8 problems. My impression of the current version of PE8 is that it is an abomination that should have never been released. It is substandard even for a beta version. If Adobe can fix their PE8 problems and create a editor that is half as good as their other products they I will be the first to sign up for a new copy.
Good luck with whatever trials and tribulations that you may be experiencing with PE8. I'm glad that the program is working for some and for the rest I hope Santa delivers a serious PE8 patch!

Please post "PE8 Trials and Tribulations" as a customer review on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-65045377-Premiere-Elements-8/product-reviews/B002IJA1DM/ref=dp _top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1http://.
I have the same computer and have experienced the same problems as you have. If you are able to get PE8 to function properly you will find that PE8 runs slower than PE7 due to all the new features (useless fluff).
You might also try deleteing any Reatek Audio drivers and allowing Win 7 to install it's driver, this seems to have helped my PE8 sound conflicts. I agree with you one hundred percent that PE8 should have been stabilized and the compatibility issues resolved before it was released. I guess things are done diferently at Adobe Bangalore.

I just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.

i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription. i updated and now it will no longer work . it starts but closes stating it is trying to initialize DLMS file. what do i need to do? Even the help chat technician could not find the problem with the 2014 version.
I have a Windows 8.1 operating system 64-bit
Here is a copy of the chat help Center discussion:
info: You are now chatting with 'Pradeep'
Pradeep: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Pradeep: Hi Dennis.
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to at the end of your chat.
Pradeep: How may I assist you today?
Dennis Linam: hello
Dennis Linam: I am having problem with my Adobe audition's program.
Pradeep: I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Pradeep: Please elaborate so that I can assist you accordingly.
Dennis Linam: I used the download client to download the trial version, which worked perfectly fine. But when I upgraded my cloud and you guys received my payment. I received an update which has locked me out of the program
Pradeep: Thank you for the information. I will be glad to provide information on this.
Pradeep: Dennis, may I know what happens when you try to activate it?
Dennis Linam: I have a screenshot of the final situation that shows on my computer screen and it says something about trying to activate the DLL
Dennis Linam: the cloud updater showed that I needed to update once I bought this subscription, so I clicked on the update button and
Dennis Linam: it updated the program. I then went back to my Windows 8.1 desktop and clicked on auditions. It asked me if I wanted to delete the previous session
Dennis Linam: the first time I clicked on. Yes, and it went through a series of uploading and shut down and said the above statement
Dennis Linam: the second time I clicked on the other button and it started its process and it did the exact same thing
Dennis Linam: I had no problem in using the previous trial version, but for some reason when I uploaded the update. I cannot even open auditions now
Pradeep: Alright. I will give you a link. Please upload the screen shot so that I can assist you accordingly.
Dennis Linam: okay
Pradeep: Click here.
Pradeep: Let me know once you have uploaded.
Pradeep: Have you uploaded the file yet?
Dennis Linam: okay I have done it..., I labeled it auditions update problem Dennis Linam
Pradeep: Thank you.
Pradeep: Allow me a minute or two while I check and get back to you.
Dennis Linam: Thank you
Pradeep: Thank you for your time.
Pradeep: Dennis, please click on Continue.
Dennis Linam: I will have to start the program again
Dennis Linam: I have already tried clicking continue and that is exactly what it shows even when I click any button
Dennis Linam: But I will try it again
Pradeep: Okay. Please click on Delete this time.
Dennis Linam: When I click on the button to start the program and then click back to the website that I am talking to you on the section of the screen blacked out where the auditions start up box is. And then it again said Adobe audition cc 2014.0 has stopped working. It also states a problem cause the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if there is a solution available
Dennis Linam: I have also use the delete button and it says exactly what I just stated
Pradeep: Okay.
Pradeep: May I know what you get when you click on the 'Cancel'button?
Dennis Linam: okay I will restart it and try it because Windows close the program
Pradeep: Okay.
Pradeep: May I know the status?
Dennis Linam: it stalls and says trying to initialize DLMS. it opens the addition screen with only a white screen, and the file edit multitrack clip effects, favorites views Windows and help bar at the top.
Pradeep: Okay.
Dennis Linam: As a matter of fact, the file edit multitrack clip ethics, favorites views Windows and help bar seems to be printed twice at the top of the screen\
Pradeep: Please open the Task manager.
Dennis Linam: Okay, it is open
Pradeep: Under the processes tab in Task manager, If there are any Adobe processes running, end all of them.
Pradeep: The Adobe processes are AAM updater, AAM notifier, Adobe crash demon, CEF helper, IPC broker, Coresync.
Pradeep: Also, if you locate any other, end them.
Dennis Linam: I noticed some of the background processes are 32-bit does it matter that I have 64-bit on my computer
Dennis Linam: I am sorry the Adobe CEF helper is 32-bit
Pradeep: You can end all of them.
Dennis Linam: it does not allow me to shut down two of the four of them I have 6 applications running Adobe auditions Adobe creative cloud and firefox task manager and windows explorer
Pradeep: Apart from Firefox, you can end all other processes.
Dennis Linam: if I shut down Firefox and Windows Explorer. My computer will's restart and we will lose connection?
Pradeep: Yes. If you end firefox, the chat will be ended
Dennis Linam: okay the only thing that is open is Firefox and the task manager and Windows Explorer
Pradeep: Alright. Please check the list of Background processes. Under that, if there are Adobe processes, any other, end them.
Dennis Linam: okay
Pradeep: If all are ended, retry the launch of Audition now.
Dennis Linam: starting that process now
Dennis Linam: again, it is asking me whether I want to continue ,delete orcancel
Pradeep: Alright.
Pradeep: Please allow me a minute.
Dennis Linam: is there any way to get a hard disk of the program. Since I am a cloud member?
Pradeep: Sorry for the delay in response.
Pradeep: Dennis, I am sorry but the DVDs for CC version are not available.
Dennis Linam: is there a possibility that Norton virus protection has identified your server as a threat and blocked it?
Pradeep: I am sorry but, as we are from download and installation support team, we do not have information on this.
Pradeep: As this is a product specific issue, I will have to forward your case to the senior support team.
Pradeep: They will check your case and reply to you soon.
Dennis Linam: the information is on my computer so I am more than willing to let the support team link in with my computer to fix the problem. If it is an antivirus block
Pradeep: Since you were able to use it previously, there is no blocking from the Antivirus.
Dennis Linam: please have them contact me as soon as possible since I use this program in my job and I will need it as soon as possible or have to find another program to use at the radio station for mind news reports.
Pradeep: I will forward your case to the relevant team. They will assist you further with email.
Dennis Linam: Thank you
Pradeep: IF you want, you can provide me your conact number. So that I can attach it to your case.
Dennis Linam: ----- You can call me anytime between 10 AM and 8 PM any day of the week or weekend
Pradeep: Thank you.
Dennis Linam: my email address is -----
Pradeep: I will forward your case to the relevant team.
Pradeep: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Dennis Linam: no thank you and I appreciate your time
Pradeep: It was pleasure chatting with you. Have a great day!
Pradeep: Thank you for contacting Adobe. Good Bye.
Here is a copy of the things told to do by different users:
"You can try opening Audition by holding down the Shift key whilst clicking on the Audition icon. This should bypass any settings that Audition may have installed and just use the defaults. However I am not sure that this will work if Audition fails to find the link to DMLS on launch. You probably need some suggestions from one of the developers who might turn up here after the weekend.
I noticed looking at Audition's start up log that it looks for the DMLS link by loading "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\7.0\dynamiclinkmanager.exe". So it might be worth checking that that .exe is installed in that location on your PC.
Have you checked to see that DLMS support is turned on in Preferences/Media & Disk Cache?"
what I did:
I tried using the a shift key and the program loaded with only the file bar at the top with a white page, none of the file menus at the top. The screen would work. and after a few minutes, Windows asked to close the program because it was not responding.
I do have dynamiclinkmanager.EXE in the file extension...C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\7.0\dynamiclinkmanager.exe
I have completely taken the cloud program and the audition program off the computer using the control panel uninstall program feature
I reloaded both programs, the cloud program and audition 2014 with update.
I then turned off the computer and turned it back on using the restart Windows method and tried to start audition again, but had exactly the same results.
I was told to check the DL MS and make sure the preference is turned on. I cannot open the program to do this so I do not know any way of completing this process without a program that opens.
The funny thing is, the trial version worked perfectly, but when I bought the reoccurring payment program and the cloud updated 2014 audition, It never worked again. I am a student and an intern, and this program is vital to my success in school and with the radio station I am interning with. I would appreciate someone who is a technician or a programmer to help me fix this problem, or I will be forced to delete the program and stop my subscription.
Thank you for your quick response

DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested.

How do I move my trial and catalogue to a new computer?

I have 18 days left on my Lightroom 5 trial. I'm now using a new computer. How do I access my trial and catalogue? Thanks.

You can't move trials and you shouldn't attempt to move non-trials.... installing is the way to go to help insure proper performance.
If the trial is currently on your older machine, then it has the 18 days left. If you install the trial on your new machine you are likely to have 30 days left.

I came on the forum and read a couple of discussions on your pages and found a reply that posted links to the pages where Lightroom 5.7 could be downloaded.
I clicked the link and downloaded the update fine.
However, now when Lightroom opens, it is asking whether I want to BUY or have a free 30 day trial and won't progress any further into the app.

Time Capsule WDS trial and error--working now

*{ I }*
I consider myself an expert in using Mac computers and Mac wireless systems although I am no hacker and no programmer by any stretch of the imagination (although I did teach myself how to use HyperStacks way back in 1990!). Although Apple overall provides a relative ease of use for computer technology, setting up a WDS network under b or g mode is still not always perfect. In this post, I relay my experiences of using a new Time Capsule to join an existing WDS network in 802.11g mode. It took several trials and errors and there might still be some glitches but for now it seems to be working.
note: you might want to skip to the last section roman numeral five if you want to skip the "travels with Conal and his Time Capsule" and see what my most helpful hint is.
*{ II }*
WDS stands for Wireless Distribution System which is when you use wireless routers to extend the range of your networks using a wireless method rather than linking each router by long cables. In the ideal situation, you would link the routers by cables but in a home situation one may not be able to have unsightly cables hanging everywhere.
My previous WDS system looked something like this:
DSL Modem == Extreme ~~ Express1 ~~ Express2 ## laptop
Key
== represents wired connection between routers
~~ represents wireless connection between routers
## represents wireless connection to a wireless device that is not a router (eg., laptop)
Extreme = Airport Extreme, the previous generation that looked like a saucer (or humourously I have heard called a "boob-style" station.
Express1 and Express2 = Airport Express, the previous generation that only could broadcast in b or g
My laptop usually connects to the network from Express2 because that has the strongest signal in my room.
*{ III }*
When I received my Time Capsule, I wanted to replace the existing Express2 and make Express2 simply become a wifi client (not a router) so that I can still use it for AirTunes and not to have it broadcast router signals. The reason for this is because Express2 and Time Capsule reside in the same room and aside from the redundancy of network signals, I don't know if having two wireless routers in such close proximity to each other would cause havoc on my network performance. I wanted the network to look like this schematic:
Extreme ~~ Express1 ~~ Time Capsule
I unplugged Express 2 and took it to the same location as Express 1 and Extreme 1. Then I plugged in Time Capsule. The idea of putting them in close proximity for set up was so that they could properly configure each other.
I opened up Airport Utility and it saw all four of my routers. I went through the wizard for Time Capsule selecting the option for it to replace an existing router. When all configurations were automatically set Time Capsule rebooted and in about two minutes or less, Airport Utility tells me there was an error configuring the Time Capsule. I knew immediately then that I had a few long hours ahead of me.
After that first failure I tried these various ways:
1. retried the wizard automatic way (never worked for my setup which albeit is not the simplest of network setups is neither the most complicated)
2. performed a manual configuration whereby I added the Time Capsule Airport ID to Express1 making Time Capsule a remote router of Express1; then I manually added Express1 to TimeCapsule as a router that it should connect to (that didn't work for some reason)
3. finally I got out the ethernet cable, hard reset Time Capsule, plugged in ethernet cable from laptop to TimeCapsule, and the manually added the Airport ID to Express1 and vice versa.
Note that I went through trial #2 several times fiddling around with other various WDS configuration etc. Finally what really worked for me was #3. I find that despite that I should be able to configure a new router wirelessly, I was not able to do so with success. I had to do it in a wired ethernet fashion.
After that was done, all was set. Well, almost because I still had to reconfigure Express2 so that it no longer would work as a router but as a wifi client.
*{ IV }*
Now my whole network looks like this
DSL Modem == Extreme ~~ Express1 ~~ TimeCapsule ## Express2 ## laptop
Note that Express2 and my laptop are actually both connected wirelessly to TimeCapsule. I am unable to draw it in another way due to the limitations of using linear text to represent parallel items.

So, my advice for those who are having trouble with configuring Time Capsule or other wireless router, sometimes you might want to try plugging in an ethernet cable so that not only is the connection more solid but that pretty much continual contact with the router is available.
I realise that WDS in 802.11n is configured slightly differently and so perhaps WDS setup has improved but as it stands in 802.11g and 802.11b in the way Apple has implemented it, I would not suggest someone below the level of expert doing it. It can be very baffling, confusing, and irritating. I would never ask my father to try to set up WDS on his own even though there is a wizard for it. I know some people (like Chris Prillo) has had no problems with the wizard, but I have always had problems with the wizard. Not only did I have problems with it when trying to get the Time Capsule to replace an existing router, but when I set up my original WDS network I also couldn't use the wizard to set it up. It kept giving me errors.

You are over complicating things. I have a Time Capsule (TC), AirPort Extreme (AE) Base Station and AirPort Express (AX) all working flawlessly with WDS.
Make sure to write down the MAC addresses of the TC, AE, and AX. You will need them to configure WDS.
Using the AirPort Admin util configure the TC. Turn on WDS and set the TC to be the main.
Using the AirPort Admin software configure the first AX. Turn on the WDS and set it as a remote client of the TC. You will need the MAC address of the TC.

You may have to reboot each device after each config change.

FireFox still identifies pdfs as Foxit documents even though I'm opening them in Adobe Reader and uninstalled the Foxit trial and FF plugin years ago.

When I click on a pdf file link in FireFox, the Windows open file dialogue opens, saying "You have chosen to open [filename]
which is: Foxit Reader PDF Document [filesize]
from: [author]
What should FireFox do with this file?
[selected radio button] Open with Adobe Reader
THERE IS NO PROBLEM OPENING THE FILE. It opens in Adobe Reader, in a window outside of Firefox, which is exactly what I have it set up to do. The problem is that it identifies the file as a "Foxit Reeader PDF Document," even though I uninstalled the Foxit trial and associated FireFox plugin ages ago, and Foxit does not appear anywhere on my computer in any way, shape or form (that I have access to). No Foxit in the file associations for Windows, or in the applications associations for FireFox. There is no Foxit plugin installed, and I even went and deleted what was left of the Foxit directory. Yet pdfs are still identified in FireFox as Foxit files, so FireFox must be storing this old info somewhere. How do I get rid of it?
BTW, files open in a browser window inside the browser in the other 3 browsers I have installed, so there is no open file dialogue, and I can't tell whether there is the same problem. When I check the properties of a pdf outside of FireFox (by rightclicking a pdf on my desktop, for example), it is identified as an Adobe Reader file. I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. I have two Adobe Acrobat plugins showing in FireFox (10.1.8.24 and 11.0.5.3). Should I have two? No plugins, extensions, or anything else by Foxit.

Most likely this information is in the mimeTypes.rdf file, which can accumulate a lot of obsolete information which occasionally does cause problems. You can rename the file and have Firefox rebuild it from scratch with only the current applications detected (as far as Firefox can tell from the Windows Registry).
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox. Presumably now it will forget all about Foxit. Unfortunately, it may also have forgotten some of your application preferences, but hopefully those won't take too long to reestablish.
