Firefox 6.01 doesn't open ACROBAT PDF, when Chrome does

When I click to open a PDF Acrobat 10.1.0 spanish doc, it appears a bar in the centre but the PDF never aprears.
Then I copy/paste the URL in a Chrome and it comes up immediately

Hi JeffLazar,
There are a couple of solutions. The first is to revert to using Chrome’s own PDF viewer by reversing your earlier actions (so type about:plug-ins into the address bar then click the disable link next to the Adobe Reader/Acrobat link).
This would stop the constant nagging to update because the PDF viewer would be updated with Chrome (which anyway happens automatically, without the user’s input or knowledge). However, it would also mean putting up with the Chrome PDF viewer quirk that bothered you in the first place.
The second option is to force Chrome to ignore, and therefore run, outdated plug-ins. This is an all-or-nothing approach, though, that isn’t recommended by Google – or even by Adobe – because it could leave your browser at risk from some as-yet-undiscovered security hole (updates to plug-ins are often made to fix such flaws).
But if you’re determined to keep using Chrome and want to keep using Adobe’s PDF viewer without the update annoyances then using the --allow-outdated-plugins command-line parameter when launching the Chrome executable file will do this (it begins with two hyphens).
If you launch Chrome from the Start menu, for example, then click Start then point to All Programs followed by Google Chrome and then right-click the Google Chrome and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
Now append the --allow-outdated-plug-ins to the end of the Target line (so it’ll look something like: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --allow-outdated-plug-ins) and click OK. Restart Chrome and it will no longer check for deprecated plug-ins.

  • Firefox 4 doesn't open start page when started.

    Firefox 4 doesn't open start page when started. It opens the tabs that were open when I closed it. According to settings, it should open start page.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    If that didn't help then do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Can't open Acrobat pdf files in document library - SBS 2011

    I've uploaded some Acrobat PDF files to a document library in the companyweb (SharePoint 2010 Foundation website) on SBS 2011. But if I click on one of them in the standard view, acrobat opens and displays a message “The URL you have provided could not be
    reached. Please verify that the URL is correct and that the network location is reachable.” I'm using Acrobat Reader XI 11.0.2 and Internet Explorer 10.
    I have tried a few suggested solutions, eg to edit the docicon.xml file to include <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>, check that the WebClient service is running, and
    Use Remote Interfaces permission is set on the SharePoint site. But no luck.
    I don't know if this is a problem with SBS 2011, or Acrobat, or Internet Explorer. Interestingly the pdf opens OK in Chrome. It looks like it is trying to edit the document instead of open it in the acrobat reader.
    Anyone know of a solution?

    I have found one possible solution. In my case the site was brought into Sharepoint Foundation 2010 as a migrated site from a previous SBS installation. 
    The site was imported as http://servername and the IIS site had a host header with companyweb so that users could browse to it, and all references to the site were as http://companyweb
    All my attempts to open the PDFs were using the http://companyweb URL.
    I was researching the issue and had gone through everything, but one thing got me thinking when some sites suggested that I look at the permissive or strict browser file open settings. I looked at the web application and it was set to http://servername in
    the Central Administration site. I thought hmm let's try opening the Adobe PDF docs with that URL instead, and it worked!
    So I changed the web application URL to http://companyweb and tried again and hey presto it's now working.
    I really hope this helps someone, it took me a good couple of hours of my day researching to find the solution here.
    Some extra info: we are using Adobe Reader 11.0.6 with IE11. Testing with Firefox worked, but that opens the document by downloading it locally and then using Adobe Reader. fix The above actually resolves the problem, it's nothing to do with permissive or strict
    file open settings, I set the SP site back to strict and PDFs still open fine. 

  • Problems opening a pdf in Chrome since I upgraded to acrobat reader dc

    I have been unable to open a file using Chrome since I upgraded from Reader XI to Reader DC. Instead of opening the file in Chrome, it wants me to save the file onto my hard drive, from where I can then open it using reader dc.
    This is true for both of my Windows 8.1 PCs.
    I CAN still open a pdf from Internet Explorer and Firefox.

  • How to open Acrobat PDF contains spot colors with Photoshop?

    I'm looking for a simple way to open a pdf file that contains spot color channels with Photoshop. Currently Photoshop can open only CMYK channels. DCS can be a solution but Acrobat doesn’t have the option to save as DCS. Please advice.

    Are you referring to opening the entire PDF file in Photoshop or do you mean that you have the PDF file open in Acrobat and want to open one of the images into Photoshop for editing?
    Opening PDF files (created in other programs) in Photoshop is often a recipe for disaster... or rather a recipe to raster.

    I cannot open these PDF files.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Since downloading firefox, I can no longer open a PDF file? How do I get my computer to open PDF files?

    I am enrolled in college and have to down load graph paper. The teacher posted a link to her copies of graph that we can download at home. The graph paper link is a PDF file and when I click on the link the page opens but it's only a white page. I also have this problem whenever I try to open any PDF file. Usually, the screen goes black. This problem started when I downloaded firefox and I do not know how to fix it. Can you help?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Automatically opening Acrobat reader when PDF form is downloaded

    Hello.
    Hope we are all well.
    I am wondering if there was a  way to have the PDF form open up automatically in Acrobat Reader when the customer downloads it. Unfortunately I am dealing with people who aren't that internet savvy and usually impatient about it (they are tradies, mainly plasterers), so when they download the PDF form and try to open it, the web browser will try to open the PDF in another page making the "submit" button to stop working. Is there any tricks to bypass the browser from doing this so I can have it opened directly by acrobat reader if it is already installed on their pc? Cheers.

    That's a shame. I have put a description on the page explaining (with a link) they will have to open in Acrobat for the submit button to work. I was hoping there might be a script to stop the browser trying to open the PDF form instead of Acrobat. Thanks for your reply .

  • Firefox home page doesn't open when I click on Firefox. Have to go to File and click on New Window to get into Start Page.

    Firefox doesn't open when I click on it. I have to click on New Window under File to get my bookmarks and a search page
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == No way to know. Nothing new has been done to Firefox.

    If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
    BTW, you really should upgrade to the latest version. See [[Updating Firefox]]

  • Issues opening Acrobat pdf's in SharePoint 2013

    In SharePoint 2007, once I checked a pdf out and clicked on it, the pdf opened in Acrobat and I could edit it as necessary. 
    However, I am having an issue opening pdf's in SharePoint 2013.  When I check the pdf out and click on open, the pdf opens in Word Web app.  How can I get SharePoint to open the pdf in Adobe?  I have researched and looked at all of the settings I could and haven't found anything.

    Yes, it is possible.
    About Philip point. Once installed, office documents will be opened in web apps by default - you can change it by activating site collection feature called "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default". After this setup, users will opens office document
    in their client applications as they've been used to before, but they will have additional option to open office documents right in their browsers (through web apps) through item context menu.

  • Firefox 4.0 doesn't open, shows as incompatible (using Win7)

    Have been using 3.6 . Downloaded 4.0 and now it doesn't open.

    If you need to increase or decrease the size of fonts and other elements in the user interface and web pages then you can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to see what works best.
    In current Firefox versions this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
    If you need to increase (or decrease) the font size on websites then look at the NoSquint or Default FullZoom Level extension.
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
