In order for the Hook IE module to work correctly the following conditions should be met:

-The hooked browser is not IE (obviously!).
-The system's default browser is set to IE.
-The default PDF reader is configured to allow Javascripts (probably with a user prompt warning).

Hence, there should be a mechanism to detect these pre-requisits.

Foxit is known to block PDF javascript by default (without even asking the user), hence there should be some code that detects foxit and mark the module as (not going to work).

Afaik, there's no way to detect the default system browser, but it should be researched.
