Firefox 11 and 12 plugin crash after most recent update

[richell_huang]

1) It was selected on installation and remains selected now
2) The old version of foxit was uninstalled (by the foxit reader) before the latest one was installed so it is the latest version
3) Foxit plugin is enabled, Acrobat has never been installed on this machine

Crashing remains

Now we have released the latest 5.3.1, would you mind upgrading to it and give it a try?
1.Please make sure you have selected "Display PDF in Brower". (Please open foxit reader. go to "Tools"->"preferences"->"File Association"->check the option"Display PDF in Brower" ->click"ok" to save the setting.)
2.Please make sure your firefox plugin version is 2.2.1.530(Please open firefox browser ,go to"Tools"->please enable foxit reader plugin for mozilla 2.2.1.530)
3.Please run firefox, go to tools->options->application, find PDF document, see which action is selected.And go to Tools/Addons/Plugins, be sure Foxit Plugin is enabled.

"The Foxit Reader for Mozilla plugin has crashed."

After upgrading to Foxit Reader 5.3, Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox started crashing whenever the web site opened the PDF via a new Firefox window/tab. (Win7/64, Firefox 12.0)

Uninstalled Foxit Reader 5.3, rebooted, and re-installed Foxit Reader 5.1.

Using Foxit Reader 5.1, Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox works perfectly.

Never had a problem until I updated to FF 11. Then I got the Foxit plugin crash. Updated Foxit to most current (531.0606) and it still crashed. Took macsband advice and re-installed with Foxit 513.1201 and it works like a charm.

Same problem here... Win7-64/FireFox 12.0. Here's a page that causes it...

This problem is still present, with Firefox 15 and Foxit Reader 5.4.2.0901.

I suspect you did not install firefox plugin completely so you failed to open it.May i advise you to follow my instructions to reinstall it?
1.Please uninstall your current version manually.
2.Please reinstall Foxit Reader 5.4.2 and install firefox plugin and check ""display pdf in browser"" by default.
3.After installing it, please run Foxit Reader to make sure you have selected "display pdf in browser" under Edit->preferences->File Association.
4.Please run firefox, go to tools->options->application, find PDF document, see which action is selected. (Normally it shall be Foxit Reader plugin, but if Adobe is installed, will be Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)).
And go to Tools/Addons/Plugins, be sure Foxit Plugin is enabled.

Foxit5.4 with FF 11.0 started crashing again so I came back here because I got the fix a few months ago and hoped I would find the answer again. Voila. What I'm saying seems very anti-Foxit progress, but the thing to do is go to oldapps.com and search Foxit. Download v. 5.13.1206. Uninstall every trace of your version and install the downloaded one. The Foxit plugin 2.1.1.720 installed with 5.13. When you're done go into preferences and uncheck auto updates. Worked like charm.......again!

Yup, still crashing, under the same circumstances. Foxit Reader 5.4.4.1128, plugin version 2.2.1.530. This is really, really easy to reproduce. The link posted by alanth crashes every time.

The plugin crash issue is under proccessing by our Dev team, and hope it will be fixed in the next version 6.0

Fingers crossed, it looks like this particular little beast has been conquered in the latest release: Foxit Reader 5.4.5.0124, Firefox plugin 2.2.3.111. Firefox 18.0.1.

This problem appears to have been fixed by the latest release. I've tried it in all browsers (FF 18, Chrome 24, and IE9, all on a Win7/64 system), and no more crashes. Foxit Reader 5.4.5.0124, plugin version 2.2.3.111.
