I'm most likely going to get some bad comments about this but the way I look at it is, if you have firefox you have a pdf reader in it, or at least you can download it just like a flash player and I'm sure that someone may argue that you'd want a separate one for offline use but I would be fairly sure you can open pdf's when not connected to the net.
But please if there is a blatantly obvious reason to have foxit of sumatra, tell me.
Its more curiosity then an arguement

I dont think so, though.

so does firefox have a default pdf reader because when i tried opening one it didnt want to. Adobe's reader is just so slow.
its a plugin.

i like the portable pdf viewer cause acrobat reader is just to slow and my computer only has a gb of mem left so i use my memory stick to store all of my apps.

Na na na, come on!
Its just that if you have Adobe installd FF will open pdfs with it.

Firefox (the non Portable version) uses Adobe's PDF Reader plug-in for Firefox (that almost everybody hate because it does a "dirty" job, slowing down Firefox until you restart it). On Firefox Portable, if you use the Adobe's PDF Reader plug-in you need to have it on the host computer, that's why there is Sumatra PDF Portable, if a computer doesn't have a PDF Reader, you have it.

Have you notice how slow is PFirefox to load? Foxit and sumatra loads instantly... If I use PFirefox to read pdf I'm sure I'm going to forget what I was doing when PFirefox is ready to show me the file...

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
Thanks for that,
makes sense. What about extensions.
Do they leave trace stuff on the host computer?
on the extension

I use
-download statusbar
-download helper
-fireFTP
-foxytunes
-google browser sync
-google notebook
-ie tab
-no script
-pic lens
-Restarter
-super DragAndGo
anybody know any known issues with any of these. I don't use these with Pfirefox yet but I plan to pretty much have a portable replica of my standard.
So since the pdf reader leaves trace on the hostcomp I'm guessing so do flash and java ?

You have a lot to learn, it seems.
Your condescending replies are getting old...

If if someone is condescending here (and I'm not commenting on that), let it go rather than egg them on.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I'd prefer constructive criticism rather then just judgemental stabs at my intelligence.
I don't understand why people can't ask questions and get answers here. Forums in general are very useful but I can't stand it when people don't allow for ignorance.
IE Tab executes an instance of IE, so it breaks portability. The Google ones may break portability as well. As for the others, either they're fine or I don't know.

yeah thanks,
from what I know about the google ones they store the data on servers, doesn't mean it doesn't leave trace but it may not. I check it out
Having IE Tab installed will probably not break portability (although I can't say for sure, since I've never even used it). IE is what breaks the portability, not necessarily the extension itself.
