unable to open PDF links

Vista home premium, using foxit reader, when i click on a pdf link ie
Google an error message appears "PDF cannot be opened because of an
unknown error" the file does appear in the Temp file, and can be opened
there.The association file list shows Foxit as the default program to
open .pdf. I created this problem some days a go when i clicked on such
a link and a menu came saying foxit was designated to open and asked if
i wanted to change, and for some reason i changed and designated Firefox
to open future program like this DUH. Is there some way i can bring this
menu back up and restore Foxit as the program to open these files. I did
try a system restore immediately after my error, it did not do the
trick. thanks for any help

Do a right click on the pdf file, then click 'open with' and re-chose
the default program.
