- dublinben 10y agoUninstall Adobe Flash. You're better off without it anyway. If for any reason you still might need it, it's included in Chrome.
- bitL 10y agoThat means you already have Chrome or Google Toolbar. McAfee is only second on the list ;-)
- oblio 10y agoReader has the same thing :(
- cptskippy 10y agoI uninstalled Reader when in started forcing UI toolbars to be open an visible every time a PDF was opened even after I'd explicitly hidden them. I haven't looked back either. I have yet to encounter a PDF that doesn't render correctly in FireFox's built in PDF.JS. I know Reader has additional features but I've honestly never used them. You can easily set FireFox as your default PDF view and you're off to the races. My only gripe is the PDF icon is now FireFox's icon.
- Endy 10y agoI can show you several form-fillable PDF files which FF does not merely break, but absolutely destroys. Then again, I'm not interested in my Web browser invading my offline activity.
- scholia 10y agoIf on Windows, install Unchecky https://unchecky.com/ https://unchecky.com/ It unselects everything by default...
- talmand 10y agoWhat if it's "check this if you don't want it" or "uncheck this if you want it" instead?
- scholia 10y agoYou have to pay attention ;-)
- talmand 10y agoI'm referring to people relying on an automated unchecker, which is my point.
- scholia 10y agoI don't see where you get the idea that people should rely on an automated unchecker. That doesn't make any sense. However, if Unchecky unchecks everything then, even if you don't pay attention, you win vastly more than you lose.
