default pdf reader

Hi dalchina, he knows that. He did set Foxit as default PDF Reader in default apps. Read the opening post. But even after you do that, Firefox still opens PDF files using its own PDF Reader.

So, if you dont want to use the PDF Reader built in Firefox and use Foxit instead, you have to disable the Firefox PDF Reader first. Thats what you get when you change "pdfjs.disabled", to true in about:config.

After that, he needs to go to Firefox Options/General, scroll down to Files and Applications, and for PDF File, Select an option. I like"Always Ask" because it opens a pop up when you click on a PDF in a web page, the pop up gives the options to save or open the PDF. If you are using Firefox, is easy to check, create a new profile and test.

Adobe (Pdf) Reader

Some PDFs have fillable fields, but it could be another reason. Did you try any other PDF reader? I am not a great fan of Adobe's PDF reader.
Foxit Reader is okay.
PDF X-Change Viewer is my favourite although discontinued.
