PDF documents not opening in Mozilla at all, PDF option is not there under the options tab applications

Hi,
Firefox has automatically been "asking me" if I want to save the pdf document instead of showing them in the browser. I have update 22. I have tried to look for the pdf options under the options>applications settings and it doesn't even show up! Is this because I updated? I updated on July 4th and didn't need a pdf until now and this problem showed up. Before, I did not have this problem. PDFs were opening on the browser and I had that pdf option under the application's list.
So I don't know what to do since I don't even have that option on here. What should I do?

Hi thank you for taking the time to reply.
''"You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader"''
Yes, I have Adobe Reader installed and that's my preffered option. I have recently and manually uninstalled Adobe reader,Reinstalled it again, restarted my computer, and I am still having the same problem. I cannot see the option to preview the pdfs in firefox using adobe. It either uses the the Firefox pdf reader Zeon? or the other option is to Always ask me to download it to my desktop.
I have attached what I see, maybe you can help me based on that. It seems the plugins work well (Figure 2) but only the pdf plugin for adobe to be previewed in firefox is missing (Figure1).
Also, I attempted to re-initialize the plugin database but it still gives me the same option as always.
''"You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer." ''
No, if I set it to "true" then the pdf option under applications disappears. So I have kept it as false. (Figure 3 shows that it goes missing, not the same as in Figure 1)

    My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • One or more PDF documents are open inside a web browser - message

    Hi,
    I have a new L series notebook and its great. The only foible I can think of is a message I keep getting when I try to shutdown. There is a message box that says "One or more PDF documents are open inside a web browser. If you exit adobe reader now, those documents will be closed. Are you sure you want to exit?".
    The thing is I do not have any PDF's or web browsers open at the time! Can you help me please?
    Thanks, Mark.

    Hi Mark
    Believe me its nothing serious the same happens on my notebook from time to time
    Usually the PDF files can be read with the Adobe Acrobat reader. This application service runs in the OS background and this message can appears if the Adobe Acrobat reader cannot close the background process automatically
    I have solved this tiny problem by removing the acrobat reader from the system. After new reboot I have reinstalled it again
    Now the message does not appear and all runs like a dream ;)

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf"  I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file.  After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared.  How do I resolve this problem?

  • How to insert links in an Acrobat 8 pdf document to open folders

    I am using Acrobat 8 and have made a "menu" page in InDesign which will has links in it to open other pdf documents. I have successfully exported to PDF from InDesign and inserted links to my PDF files which work perfectly. I now need to insert a link to direct the user to a particular folder so they can view the files/folders within that folder.
    The complete set of documents will be burnt onto DVD and the "menu" pdf will open using an autorun file.
    How can I insert a link in the PDF document that will open the folder that I want the reader to be able to view and navigate through themselves.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is a major job for a client.  I have seen a few ideas on the net but nothing that really answers my particular question.
    Cheers - Claire

    what should have been done, is place all the PDF in Folder including your contents page and Make all your links in Indesign. Then burn the folder to the DVD. That way all the links would be relative to location of the files.
    Try a test that way. As was said Acrobat can't do it.

  • If PDF document is open in any TAB, scrolling through touch pad in other TABs is disabled?

    I have ACER Aspire 5740G, Firefox 5.0, Windows 7 Ultimate (X32), Adobe Acrobat X Pro. If some online "pdf" document is open in any of the TABs, The scrolling through touch pad in other tabs stop working however it remain active in the PDF document. After closing the pdf tab the scrolling starts to work normal.

    I have the same problem and have had it since Firefox 5. I now have Firefox 6.0.2 and still have the problem.
    Windows 7 x64, Synaptics Touchpad V7.2
    If an Adobe PDF is open in a tab, touchpad scrolling only works in that tab. If any other tabs are open and user attempts to scroll, nothing will happen in the non-pdf tab, but the pdf will be scrolling. This can be very annoying because if you forget there is a pdf open and try to scroll, you will scroll the pdf out of place.

  • Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing

    Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing--replaced by black rectangles. How can I fix this? Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi Ravinder,

    You originally posted on a thread that really wasn't related to your problem, so I branched the discussion.
    Check the Windows System Event Viewer to see the details of the crash, most importantly the name of the faulting module.
    Most crashes on Open or Save are due to OS bugs (especially on MacOS) or bugs in third party extensions to the OS open and save dialogs.

  • Firefox will not open Gmail, or load all the data on the google tab and will not load Outlook lite on a webpage correctly.

    In the last couple of days when I start Firefox it will not properly load the Google home page I set up. It will not load the calendar or Date and Time. When I try to open gmail it will not open. I use Internet mail using outlook lite and it does not open properly formatted. All of these problems did not exist until two days ago. I have even gone back and did a system restore 8 days ago to see if that would correct the problem.
    Thank you

    For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.
