I have a new 8.1 computer and adobe reader was installed on it ... Would prefer to use only Firefox PDF if can do so, for e-bay and photo taking use

What steps do I take to delete Adobe Reader (if don't need it) and then to install PDF from firefox?

Would really appreciate any help

Chosen solution

Firefox has a built-in PDF viewer. However, I recommend keeping Adobe Reader on your system because there are some advanced PDFs that the built-in viewer does not display very well.

Or... If you meant that you want to use Foxit, that's actually not a Mozilla product. You can get more information here: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/
