NoScript doesn't allow pdf-files to open with the Firefox plugin "PDF-XChange Viewer" but will allow pdf-files to open with Adobe Reader. When I open a pdf-file, PDF-XChange Viewer crashes every time. After that you have to choose "Temporarily allow all this page" to see the pdf-file. And this all takes for ever.
How to solve this? I don't want to use Adobe Reader because it's the security risk.

I'm not sure whether this reader is actually more secure than Adobe Reader X, but however it's working fine for me with NoScript: it gets blocked as expected, and if I click on the placeholder it loads and displays the document as expected, no crash. Tried with this one, http://siestetica.it/download/PNE_Norme_Redazionali.pdf

What do you mean by "crash", exactly?

Security experts say the highest risks on the internet these days are not updated browsers and the Adobe Reader.

By crashing I mean a message "The PDF-XChange Viewer plugin has crashed" in the Firefox which I also got with the previous pdf-file. If I choose "Allow scripts globally" I won't get the message.

What version of PDF-XChange Viewer & related Plugin are you using?

If you disable all other extensions except for NoScript & all other plugins except for PDFX, do you still crash?
And if you create a new, clean Profile with only those two?
