Firefox cannot download pdfs on secured web sites .... any ideas?

For some months now I have been unable to download pdfs at the secured web sites of financial institutions. After talking with technicians they are all bewildered but point to browser or security settings but are unable to solve the problem. Do others have this experience?

Only security software (probably anti-virus software or the firewall) would show such a message if it was a Windows message, so you can check it there.
If it is a message from a Firefox extension then see this:

  • Cannot download pdf files from internet site with either acrobat pro X or pro XI on windows 8 comput

    cannot download pdf files from internet website with either acrobat pro x or proXI on windows 8 computer.  windows 7, no problem.

    Hi valerieross,
    Acrobat can be used to view pdf's or edit pdf's not download them.
    Check your browser settings.
    If you are referring to viewing pdf's in browser, then please check the following : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html

  • Cannot log into my secure web sites?

    Why can't I log into my secure web sites or set up email accounts?

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    2. Check that the following files exist:
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    If they don't, restore them from a backup or reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    3. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter. Test.
    4. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    5. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.
    6. Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
    If not, back up all data, then select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Into the text box that opens, copy the following line of text:
    /var/db/crls
    From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.

  • Cannot Download Files from Certain Web Site

    There is a website I must use for work quite often. Whenever I try to download or open a file from the site, I get the following error:
    Safari can't open the file.
    Safari can't open the file ""2010 Pennsylvania Release Notes.pdf" because ""2010 Pennsylvania Release Notes.pdf" has moved since you downloaded it.
    I am using a Windows XP machine and these files work fine with any other browser. I really want to make Safari my default browser, but it is out of the question as long as this continues to happen with Safari alone.

    I just noticed, when I try downloading a PDF file using Safari from this website, it puts a " in front of the file name. It does not do this with any other browser. I think this may be what is causing the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!!

  • Cannot Download & Install OS 3.1.2 - Any Ideas/Help?

    Every time I attempt to download the new OS for my iPod Touch, I can only download it to 264.9mb out of 265mb and then pops up and error box saying my network connection timed out and to check my network (which is just fine and tried it 3 different connection locations) and gave error code -3259. Help? Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem, and it's extremely frustrating. I have a relatively fast internet, yet it tells me it'll take 9 hours. Then after about 2 hours of loading (and only 1/5 of the way done), the network times out. This is the fourth time I've tried.
    I turned off my firewall etc and it didn't help.

  • Cannot download .pdf files and word docs from KM using Web Dynpro

    Dear Portal Gurus,
    Using KM API, I am trying to download, documents from KM in my Web Dynpro Application. But .pdf files and word docs with screenshots are not getting retrieved from KM. Word docs opens with no content and Adobe opens with an error saying "Either it is a damaged file or It is not a supported file".
    I am using the following KM service to download the content.
    public byte[] retrieveResourceInBytes(String strRid){                    
    /////  after a few lines  ////
         if (this.loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
    // create a resource context with the authenticated user
         rContext = new ResourceContext(this.loggedOnUser);
    // create a RID to handle a resource
          aRid = RID.getRID(strRid);
              try {
              // get an instance of a resource factory
                     final IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
    // retrieve a folder/file  with context
                                                 aResource =  aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
         if(aResource.isCollection()) {
                                                                      aResource = (ICollection) aResource;
                                                      IPropertyMap objIPropertyMap = aResource.getProperties();               
                                                 IMutablePropertyMap objIMutablePropertyMap =objIPropertyMap.getMutable();
                                                 objHashMap = new HashMap();
         if (aResource != null) {
                                                                         IContent oldContent = aResource.getContent();
                            InputStream objInputStream=oldContent.getInputStream();
                 byte[] theBytes = new byte[objInputStream.available()];
                 objInputStream.read(theBytes);
                        return theBytes;
         } //  catches all the exceptions here///
    Could you please advise if I am doing something wrong else could you please advise me for any corrections which would help?
    Thanks a lot in advance,

  • Accessing Social Security web site

    I suddenly cannot access the social security web site, both its old url and its new url. I have tried to change my dns server. I can get to everything else. I live in Germany. This is a problem with both safari and firefox. My ipad can't get there either.

    OK I went there and it says it's just me. I am lost as to where to go from here. None of my devices can get to the site, ipad, iphone, mac book pro. I tried adding a different dsn server. I still get a time out.

  • Firefox crasht bij het openen van een pdf van een web site

    Firefox op deze Vaio crasht direct als ik een pdf van een web site wil openen. Dit is sinds een maand of twee het geval. Safari en Internet Explorer geven dat probleem niet.
    Ik heb geen probleem met het openen van pdf's in het algemeen.
    Ik heb Firefox al geherinitialiseerd, en opstarten in veilige modus (zonder add-ons) geprobeerd. Heb ook (zonder resultaat) geprobeerd automatisch openen uit te schakelen.

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Secure web sites

    After getting computer fixed at Apple Store and downloading all current updates, I cannot cannot access secure web sites in Safari which I could do easily before. i.e. my bank account, pay son's college tuition on lines and re-fill prescriptions. How can I fix this?

    Hello pete-o:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    If you have not done so, run permission repair. Then close Safari and trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist). Reenter your personal preferences and open Safari.
