Firefox plugins

I'm updating my plugins for Firefox 22, but am having trouble with the "Adobe PDF" plugin. Firefox states i'm using the outdated 10.1.7, but when i go to Adobe website, all that's there is 10.1.4 (it seems to be pre-selected for my Vista OS).

I believe that maybe, that's the only available update for my OS.

I've since browsed Adobe's website and came across 11.0.03 (i believe this is the latest), but i cannot find any specs for what versions of Windows it supports.

Adobe Reader 11 doesn't support Vista. Unless you really, really need Adobe Reader there are some decent alternatives out there like Sumatra PDF, Foxit Reader and Nitro Reader.

• Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 3 for 32 bit or Service Pack 2 for 64 bit; Windows Server® 2003 R2 (32 bit and 64 bit); Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2 (32 bit and 64 bit); Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit); Windows 8 (32 bit and 64 bit)

You can use the built-in PDF reader in Firefox instead of any external plugin, just have the "Preview in Firefox "selected in the applications tab of the options window for PDF files:



EDIT: As a headsup, Firefox 23 is planned to be released on 6 August 2013 (Tuesday) - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases#Firefox_23
