 When running the downloaded installer, look carefully for options to install other programs or 'helpful' features and deselect them, especially special browser add-ons.
-There's no option to omit one feature from the installation, called //Foxit Cloud//. This provides the ability to store your PDFs and settings 'in the cloud' --- namely on a server somewhere.  You don't have to sign up to it, but it's something I don't want at all (and it uses some extra memory).  You can uninstall it: go to Control Panel > Uninstall programs, choose //Foxit Cloud// and then //Uninstall//. You will be asked why you chose to uninstall.

-On installation, Foxit has a modern ribbon-style toolbar. I don't care for this style, so change it to the Classic version.  To do this, choose File > Change Toolbar Mode > Classic > Restart.  You can then choose some of the items on the toolbar from View > UI Options > Customize Toolbars.  Make your own choice!
+On installation, Foxit has a modern ribbon-style toolbar. I don't care for this style, but the current version provides no alternative. However, you can hide it (press Ctrl+F11).
 One other irritation is that updating Foxit destroys your settings.  There's no way around this, I fear.
