How can I set pdfs to open in a new tab instead of prompting firefox to open them in Adobe itself?

I use a website with many links to pdfs. In Windows XP (probably an older version of firefox) I could right click on the link to open a new tab, and the pdf would open in the new tab. In Windows 7 (and updated firefox) when I right click to open a new tab, a new blank tab opens and Adobe starts up displaying the document in a new Adobe window. How can I change the settings to have pdfs open within the new tab (without opening Adobe)?

Tools -> Options -> Applications Tab
Under Content Type find Adobe
Under Action, Left click and select "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)"
That should do it!

    After installing a new motherboard, my imac opens pdf files with colorsync.  How do I reset it to open them with Adobe?

    That makes sense Dennis.  I did that but was unable to find Adobe Reader in my Applications folder.  Of note though is that after a restart, the problem seems to have gone away.  So, disaster averted.  Thanks for responding though.  It's nice to have help on this stuff.

  • How do I set the home page for a new tab?

    How do I set the web page for when I open a new tab? Whenever I open a new tab it goes to an error site which freezes my firefox browser for a while. How do I change that? I want to open new tabs with google being the home page. I need to set up the homepage for a new tab NOT a new window. Please help! !

    If Google is set as your Homepage in Firefox you can middle-click ''(push down on the mouse wheel)'' to open Google in a new Tab.
    Or, you can add the feature to Firefox where clicking the New Tab button on the Tab Bar opens your Homepage in a new Tab. <br />

    And if you have a different Homepage set, this extension allows for any page you set in the extension's options to open when you use the new Tab button. <br />

  • When I open a new tab, I have to move to the other side of the page to click "home". Can I set the same "home" default for new tabs?

    My home page opens in the initial FireFox window, but new tabs open with a blank page. To get to my default page I have to click "home", but now it's way over on the other side of the page.
    Can I set a default for new tabs?

    right click on the control bar and choose "adapt" (or something like that). A window will pop up. Ignore that window and move the home button to the place you want it ''on the control bar''

  • How can i set the html5 player by default in ubuntu instead of the flash player ? i just can use the flash player as default

    Well i use lubuntu 14.04 and i've realized that the html5 player on youtube works so much better than the flash player, but i can't use it by default, for play videos i have to request the html5 player, and the problem is when i restart the browser or when i turn off my computer, big is my surprise because youtube is using the flash player. If i disable the flash plugin is ok because youtube doesn't have another option but to use html5, but this is not the solution, because there is still some videos that use flash, and other web sites too. so: how can i fix this or i just have to wait that mozilla gives html5 support for linux, because on windows the default player is the html5. i'd really appreciate any help, thanks

    I usually use Ubuntu, and am not aware of HTML5 being the default for Flash videos on Windows.
    Is it more likely you have chosen an option on the YouTube website to use HTML5. I think this page offers support and includes an option to toggle HTML5 or FlashPlayer.

  • How can I set up my iPhone 6 to use wifi instead of cell when available?

    since getting my new iPhone 6, my cell data usage has increased while connected to a wifi network at home.  How can I get my iPhone to use wifi if available?

    It will always use WiFi if available. If the phone goes to sleep it drops the WiFi connection unless you plug it in to power. Have you checked to see which app is using the cell data?

  • How can I view attachments without opening them?

    I would like to "quickview" attachments before opening them. Is there a way to do this? I am running TB 24.4.0. My OS is Mac OS 10.9.2. Thanks.

    You can't. If you want to 'view' an attachment, you'll have to open it, regardless whether that's 'quick' or not.

  • How can I change the search engine in the new tab page?

    When I click on the + to open a new tab, I get the new tab page, which displays the previous sites I visit the most. No problem. But in the search window, if I do a search it uses Yahoo. I don't like Yahoo. I would like to change to another search engine, you know, one that's more obscure such as Google. Can anyone help me?

    Look at the search bar. Do you see the icon of the current search engine?
    Click the arrow next to the icon. you should now see a list of your search
    engines. At the bottom, select '''Manage Search Engines.''' Now a window
    will open of all your engines. Select the one you want as your default. On
    the right of the list you will see a set of up/down arrows. Click the up arrow
    until the engine you want is at the top of the list. Then press '''Okay.'''
    Once the window is closed, your choice should now be displayed in the
    search bar.

  • How do I set the default page for a new tab?

    For some reason every time I open a new tab it goes to Bing. I would prefer it be blank, or even go to Google instead.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • How can I get back the "custom URL in new tab" functionality that I had in v 12 using new tab add-on?

    I REALLY need this since I have written my own custom web directory which I use all day long. It seems that the new New Tab behavior should be OPTIONAL. I had to revert to version 12 because it adds a couple of clicks every time I request a new tab many, many times a day in my work. I was using the New Tab URL add-n and it does not override the new functionality.

    If you want to open a new tab in a certain url (like www.google.com or another site) go to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] find/type '''browser.newtab.url''' , double click on it (or right click on it and select modify) and type the url you want. Every time you open a new tab you open it in that url/site.
    thank you

  • How can I eliminate the search field in the new tab page?

    Hi, the Add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/?src=search New Tab Tools] will do that. (It's fine in v36, but can't be certain about v37 though).

  • How Can I set QT to open ALL files in Full Screen Automatically?

    Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a major option missing in preferences of QT? I know that you can set this option for EACH movie in the Presentation tab in the movie's Properties, but I have 1000's of clips on my computer. I just want EVERY movie to automatically open up in full screen mode. This seems like it should be an obvious universal option for QT rather than handled individually for each file (with the option to over ride it per file if you wish for some reason).
    Plus setting the option per file is not even practical, because in order to save that option in a file that is not .mov file QT wants to convert it to .mov and save copy of the file...

    I am still pretty sure, say 95%, (do not recall perfectly - to many things on my mind... hihi) that the settings in Quicktime in the Preferences DID work before.
    QT Player "Preference" settings only control how the content is displayed in the "Full Screen" mode -- not how it is activated. Pop-up options include:
    1) Half Size,
    2) Actual Size,
    3) Double Size,
    4) Fit to Screen,
    5) Fill Screen,
    6) Panoramic, or
    7) Current Size
    The options are available individually for "widescreen", "standard", or "other" aspect movie formats. The only other method of I can think of using the QT Player to automatically open in the the "Full Screen" presentation mode would be using a QTL file linked to your original source file but it setting the "Full Screen" option is "boring" for you, then creating QTL files would be even more so.

  • How can I set Safari to open multiple tabs when I open Safari?

    I was able to set multiple tabs to open when I open Safari in the past. However, I do not know how to do so now.
    Help!

    Hello sgertel,
    It sounds like you are asking about the OS X feature called Resume to have previous opened windows re-open when you launch Safari.
    Automatically re-open windows, apps, and documents on your Mac - Apple Support
    OS X Lion v10.7 and later include Resume, a feature that lets you re-open apps in the same state they were in when you last left them. For example, when you quit Safari, any webpages you're viewing are fully restored the next time you open Safari. 
    Is this not working for you?  Another thing I use is common folders in the Favorites bar where I can "Open in Tabs" at the bottom of the list.
    Take care,
    Nubz
