I must have missed this update previously but I just cleaned/updated all the software on one of my computers and noticed there was a new version of Foxit. This new update is pretty awesome. They finally made it where it would open up inside of firefox like adobe(I've wanted this for a long time). They also changed the interface up a bit with a sidebar that has page previews, bookmarks ect.
Only downside I see so far is that the installer has a toolbar that you have to deselect and they also tried to hide some links to ebay in there too. Not a huge issue but worth noting.

I use the zip version so no tool bar BS for me. I tried the FF plugin option in the settings but it did not work. Could be because I use the zip version or because I use FF portable. Is there a plugin for FF in the Foxit install folder? There isn't in mine. I don't really like the a PDF reader opening PDFs in my browser any ways.
Yeah there is a plug in under add ons>plug ins.
I think its pretty useful, especially with a tabbed browser.
So the Firefox plugin works good then?
There was also this thread about the new version.

Even open source software is bundling 3rd party apps nowadays. I understand it's a way for the authors to legitimately get some revenue, although I still don't like it the same and always opt for a zipped version from which I can make my own installer.
So is the FF plugin only available in the installer version? I used the zip version and there was just an exe. When I launched it it created a ini file for the settings. There is nothing else in the folder. I see nothing about a FF plugin.
Must only be in the installer version. I have a folder that says plug ins and it has one for IE and FF.
