Tired of waiting for Adobe Acrobat Reader to load? Lifehacker’s recent download of the day was FoxIt PDF Reader, a free program that is amazingly fast compared to Adobe’s plugin-bloated application.
Lifehacker’s post also mentions how to disable Firefox’s default use of Adobe Reader, allowing PDF documents to open in FoxIt Reader instead: go to “Tools -> Options -> Downloads -> Plugins” and uncheck the box next to “PDF Document.” Once you’ve run FoxIt Reader once, the next time you click on a PDF link in Firefox, you’ll have the option to associate such links with FoxIt Reader permanently. Very nice…
