Cannot open PDF files online with Firefox 4, help suggests foxit but don't know what that is?
Earlier versions of Firefox allowed me to open PDF files online, without downloading. Firefox 4 does not allow me to open and read PDF files online, but requires downloading to computer.
Help suggest altering settings in FOXIT READER, manually, but I don't know how to access Foxit reader, if I have it.
Can I alter settings in Firefox 4, or do I have to go back to earlier version.
Thanks

I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.
Thanks for your post, but the "plug-in" at the link you provided says that the PDF plugin is only available for Firefox 3... and is Not available for Firefox 4
One of the linked articles, says in both firefox 3.6 & firefox 4 views
"
- If you have a Mac with a PowerPC processor, the Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin can be used to view PDF files in Firefox.
- If you have a Mac with an Intel processor, the Firefox PDF Plugin extension can be used to view PDF files in Firefox. "
Right. I select the second option because I have an Intel processor and then I go to "download" the plug in, but there is a warning there that says it is for Firefox 3 and does not work with Firefox 4. Try it and see !
