FireFox does not know Adobe Reader Plugin is latest version. Why?

OS is Windows Vista with all updates. Using Adobe Reader X version 10.1.9. Checking for updates from within the Adobe Reader program generates a message from Adobe that the software up to date, no updates available. Firefox advises Adobe Plugin version 10.1.9 is vulnerable and to update the plugin. Attempting to update from within Firefox connects with the Adobe update site. Attempting to update from within the update site brings up a message from Adobe that the latest software is installed. Please advise.

The plugin checker site is not able to* store multiple versions of the Adobe Acrobat plugin as the current version. So, with apologies to Windows Vista users, you simply have to ignore what the plugin check site says about that particular plugin and rely on Adobe's in-product updater.
''*'' It ''could'' be redesigned to do this in the future, but currently it is not able to do this.

    Was the message sent from Microsoft Outlook? When you embed an image in a message in Outlook (at least up to version 2003), it creates a hidden attachment for the image and then inserts a "cid" reference to it. If the attachment gets stripped for any reason then the "cid" reference is useless: Outlook does not store the original URL or path to the image.
    Edit: By the way, which webmail site has this problem?

  • I have updated version of Mozilla Firefox 25.0 And adobe flash Player also latest version but every time adobe crush what to do

    i have updated version of Mozilla Firefox 25.0 And adobe flash Player also latest version but every time adobe crush what to do

    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista and higher)
    See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    Any luck?

  • My back and forward buttons do not work also the refreash button does not work, I have reloaded the latest version of fire fox and that did not help. HELP please.

    My back and forward buttons do not work also the refresh button does not work, I have reloaded the latest version of fire fox and that did not help. All of navigation tool bar worked until I updated Fire Fox, now if I click on a link in yahoo, for instance, I can not get back to my yahoo home page without reloading Fire Fox. HELP please.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Music does not sync properly when updated to latest version.  Can see computer but can't play from ipod

    Music does not sync properly when updated to latest version.  Can see on computer but can't play from ipod.

    Hope this helps...
    I was having the same problem where only 1.7GB of 10GB of selected music would sync so I decided to start fresh.  The following steps worked for me:
    1.  Open itunes and connect iphone 5 if not already.  Uncheck all playlists, artists, etc. till nothing is checked to sync.  Then uncheck the sync music box so that all music will be removed from the phone.  Sync iphone
    2.  Eject device. Quit itunes (don't just close). unplug iphone.
    3.  Restart imac, macbook, or PC.
    4.  Restart iphone.
    5.  Now after power up, restart itunes then plug in iphone, check sync music and select music to sync.  Sync iphone
    6.  It worked for me!!!  Good luck.

  • Firefox will not use Foxit Reader plugin.

    Why doesn't the configuration to use the Foxit Reader plugin for PDF files work? The Adobe Reader plugin (in Firefox) is used instead.
    In Firefox 3.6.8 "Options" window, "Applications" tab, for "Content Type" -- "PDF file," the selected "Action" is "Use Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla (in Firefox)."
    For "Content Type" -- "PDF file, in the "Action" dropdown list, no option is listed for "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)."
    The "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins" folder contains both (1) the Foxit Reader plugin (npFoxitReaderPlugin.dll ver.1.0.1.1117), and (2) the Adobe Reader plugin (nppdf32.dll ver.9.3.3.177).
    When Firefox connects to a website using a URL for a PDF file, the PDF document always appears in Firefox using Adobe Reader.
    Given the configuration, why doesn't Firefox open the file using Foxit Reader? How can this be fixed?
    Operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
    Thank you.

    BTW, Foxit has released Foxit Reader 4.3.0 which uses Firefox plugin 2.0.2010.1103.Plz take a look at foxit download center:http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/index.php

  • Firefox was working fine earlier today and now when I try opening it, I get this message: Firefox does not know how to connect to server" and no pages will load. Internet Explorer works fine.

    I have changed nothing on my computer, and it was opening and functioning fine this morning. However, everytime I try to open it, I get a message box saying "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features." And when the page actually opens, it says "Unexpected response from server
    Firefox doesn't know how to communicate with the server.
    Check to make sure your system has the Personal Security Manager
    installed.
    This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server."
    Nothing will load and I don't know what's wrong!

    Did Firefox update to 4.0.1?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Firefox will not use Adobe Reader for viewing PDFs

    No matter how many times I am forced to manually browse the Adobe folder and select "Acrobat Reader 11" as my default application to handle PDF documents, Firefox never keeps that setting. In addition, Adobe Reader is never even a choice in the "Open with..." Browse button. When I try to let it use Adobe Acrobat (I have the CS6 Master Collection installed) with a rendered PDF, it doesn't even launch the application. I know those may be separate issues, but they are both equally frustrating PDF errors.

    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.

  • Acrobat X Pro install package does not remove Adobe Reader X

    I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard X to deploy our Acrobat X Pro install. In the transform I have both options checked to removed previous versions of Acrobat and Reader.
    The only version of Reader that does not get removed is Reader X. Has anyone else run into this? I've had version 8 and 9 get removed, but any system that has Reader X, keeps it, and Acrobat X Pro get's installed as well.
    I understand Adobe will support that configuration, but I'd prefer to have just one PDF reader
    Any input is appreciated

    Same problem in our environment. It seems, that Reader X is not understood as an old or minor version as it was in previous versions and therefore, both, Acrobat X and Reader X can coexist on a machine.

  • KDE4 desktop does not list Adobe Reader for pdf files

    If I right click on a PDF file in Dolphin, Adobe Reader is not listed under "open with". Any idea why this is? What is need to get it to show up?

    Well up front I would like to thank all of you that responded, and tell you that I am sorry that I have not posted back. But, I have been trying to incorporate and to ensure that I have been following the suggestions that you have provided.
    Let me provide a bit more of information:
    I am trying to safe a chart from the Reunion Family program, which I have been using for a few years.
    I did save one Descendant chart and was able to send it to a group of the family as a PDF file. This was using adobe 5. After I sent that chart, I upgraded the adobe 5 software to adobe reader 9. Since the upgrade I have not been able to save a chart in the Graphic File.pdf. The file saves but when I open the file it is a one page blank document. However, I can go into preferences and by changing the view size, it will show the entire document (sometimes). I tried to save that document and send it, but the people who receive it stated that it comes as a blank page. I also, saved the file as a JPEG and sent it, but the people stated that it comes as a very narrow column, unreadable, and can not be open.
    I have went back and removed the installed upgrade and started from scratch, I am using the correct software package, and after uploading it, I do run the permissions program.
    So, once again I am trying to obtain some knowledge on how to safe the descendant file as a PDF file and send it by e mail.
    It is driving me crazy-and once again proves that the machine is much smarter than I.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Firefox does not recognize the new download of RealPlayer Version Plugin15.0.0.198

    HELP!
    Up until last week I was able to use the RealPlayer Version Plugin15.0.0.198 and download video clips
    Today it did not work so I checked and downloaded the "update". after installing 4 different times and rebooting my computer I have not been able to get it to work.
    My Firefox is up to date and I have uploaded the latest version of RealPlayer- several times...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Robin Rotfleisch

    TonyE, thank you very much for the helpful reply. However, do you happen to know why FireFox choose to hide the extremely useful Menu items in version 4.0? Are they trying to mimic the cumbersome navigation requirements in Chrome?

  • Firefox is not allowing me to install the latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube etc. any suggestions?

    Hi there, Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube and is continuouing to block it. any suggestions?

    '''''"... Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player ..."'''''
    Firefox shouldn't keep you from installing Flash; Firefox needs to be closed before attempting to install Flash - Adobe rules for installing Flash.
    Also, it seems that you have a real old version of Flash installed.
    '''Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45'''
    Two versions of Flash Plugins installed may confuse Firefox as to which version to use.
    You should download and run the Adobe Flash uninstaller program before attempting to install Flash.
