I cannot seem to download PDF files. When I attempt to download the file, it just shows me a blank white screen. In order for me to download a PDF file, I have to use my regular Internet Explorer.

Is there a plug-in or something in Firefox that I need in order to view PDF files?

When you installed Foxit Reader, did you opt out of the Ask Toolbar installation?

If not, click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and remove it in there. Then try again.

If it doesn't work, download Adobe Reader from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO (disable Foxit Reader in the Extensions menu first).

Ah...it won't be an extension of course, so you'll find it in the Plugins menu. Disable it in there. So click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins.
