I have not found a PDF add-on that works with 14.0.1. I'm forced to go to IE or Chrome when there is a PDF to be opened.

Chosen solution

If you are not opposed to using the plugin that comes with Adobe Reader X, this article might help: Use Adobe Reader to view PDF files in Firefox.

If you prefer Foxit Reader, it might be that you need to enable the add-on or update it and then enable it.

To check for disabled add-ons, try here:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Add-ons

Check both the Plugins category and the Extensions category for your PDF reader(s). You may find disabled items in a separate set at the bottom of the list.

To check for add-on updates, use the "gear" icon above the list.

Thanks for your quick reply and help. I did download the Adobe X, it is now part of my add-on's and it does appear to be working! Thank you again!
