One last time filehippo link - got the Ask toolbar and Foxit toolbar (Ask)
go to firefox and check both links,

but Foxit now must come with Ask bundled in
see what firefox plugin in install run is -

Destination Location:
   C:\Program Files\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\

Desktop Settings:
   Add a desktop shortcut
   Add an icon to the Start Menu
   Add an icon to Windows Quick Launch Toolbar

Custom Setting:
   Install for all users
   Install Firefox plugin

Edit - Firefox also loads program with Ask toolbar and Foxit toolbar (Ask)
Firefox plugin at install likely to be Foxit toolbar (Ask)
  
If you just need a pdf file reader, try Cool PDF Reader instead. There's a non-installed stand alone package available (650KB).

NoScript 1.9.9.60


Mozilla add-ons site doesn't have it yet. No big deal. Anyway they added an "site info" function (middle click on any site entry), wasn't really needed, that refers to WOT etc...Flagfox already gave that ;)

Foxit Reader 3.2.1.0401  has been released




Foxit Reader is a free PDF document viewer, with incredible small size, breezing-fast launch speed and rich feature set. Its core function is compatible with PDF Standard 1.7.

    * Incredibly small: The download size of Foxit Reader is just a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 M size.
    * Breezing-fast: When you run Foxit Reader, it launches instantly without any delay. You are not forced to view an annoying splash window displaying company logo, author names, etc.
    * Annotation tool: Have you ever wished to annotate (or comment on) a PDF document when you are reading it? Foxit Reader allows you to draw graphics, highlight text, type text and make notes on a PDF document and then print out or save the annotated document.
    * Text converter: You may convert the whole PDF document into a simple text file.
    * High security and privacy: Foxit Reader highly respects the security and privacy of users and will never connect to the Internet without users' permission. While other PDF readers often silently connect to the Internet in the background. Foxit PDF Reader does not contain any spyware.

Hi, Yezinki.  I've been using Foxit Reader for about a year, both stand-alone and as a plugin for Firefox.  As far as I can tell, none of the Foxit Reader add-ons are critical: the only one I downloaded was the Firefox Plugin.  The JPEG2000 and JavaScript support modules had critical vulnerabilities in the past and have been subsequently patched.  I don't recommend either of them unless you have a specific need, and even then they should be used only on trusted documents.  (Actually, just to be safer, you should only view trusted PDF documents period.)  Hope this helps.

You're welcome.

(There's no screenshot here.  Did you mean the ones below?

I updated through Help > Check for Updates and did not wind up with a toolbar.  If you can't get Foxit Reader without the Foxit Toolbar.  I'd look for a different program.  To see if I could reproduce your problem, I downloaded the Foxit Reader installer, FoxitReader321_en_Setup.exe, and installed it into a sandbox.  The installation program explicitly asks me if I want to install the Foxit Toolbar, with "I accept" pre-checked.  I unchecked "I accept" and unchecked "Set my homepage to Ask.com" and continued with the installation.  There's no ability or need to refuse the Firefox Plugin.  That's something completely different from the Foxit Toolbar (see below).

Actually, no.  They're two separate beasts.

Foxit Toolbar for browser
   This add-on is a free toolbar for IE that delivers up-to-date Foxit news and upgrades straight to your Internet browser, enabling users to search the web anytime anywhere, giving easy access to various useful goodies and gadgets. The toolbar integrated with Foxit Reader 3.2, with a helpful user interface, is better compatible with Windows 7 and Firefox.

Firefox Plugins
   Foxit Firefox Plugin installs a simple Foxit Reader into the Firefox web browser, this free add-on allows users to display, view, edit and print PDF documents in the browser.
