  "Great product but it crashes Firefox"

  January 23, 2009  |   By veraldo

  Pros

  Great product. Better than Adobe Reader with a lot of functions not found in Adobe. Pay attention to the installation; it installs a few toolbars if you do not uncheck the install options.

  Cons

  The Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla does not work at all. It crashes Firefox every I try to open a PDF through the browser.

  Summary

  Wait for a new version if you use Firefox to open PDF files. I hope Foxit Software fix that bug on a new version.

  Correction to my reply: I just tested the plugin on 3 operating systems. On Windows Vista and Windows 7 RC, the plugin just freezes then crashes Firefox and all other plugin based browsers. On Windows XP, it works fine.

  I experience the exact same issue with Mozilla and all other plugin based browsers. I was going to abandon Adobe Reader, but I can't until the Firefox Plugin gets fixed. All my browsers that use plugin crashes. IE does not since it uses the ActiveX.
  
  I am waiting for the Firefox plugin to be fixed before I can switch to Foxit.
