Foxit Reader
I've been a happy user of Foxit Reader for some years but was taken by surprise on Wednesday when I got a security warning that Foxit had been caught making some sort of deliberate link to what was described as a "dangerous site" and had been disabled. I had a look at the list of my plugins and there was a warning that my Foxit was dangerously vulnerable so I tried to update it but even after repeated attempts this proved impossible. Taking the decision that the failure of the update process was probably not unconnected to the warning, I did a full Revouninstall of Foxit on all machines. I now see that Mozilla no longer offer Foxit as a download.
Can anyone help with more information on what actually happened to Foxit, please? Is it likely to return to grace and, if not, what is recommended as a lightweight, socially responsible unmeddling alternative not from Adobe)? We all need a .pdf reader, after all.
