The most resent Firefox update has a conflicting application with adobe and all pdf files have to open firefox before opening

My issue started with downloading the most current Firefox. Firefox opens multiple empty tabs (20 -30 or more) every time I use adobe reader. I changed the action for a content type to show adobe reader. It was showing open the file in adobe in Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice and this did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Air but could not uninstall Adobe Flash Player because of a conflicting Application with Firefox. I then uninstalled Firefox and was able to uninstall Adobe Flash Player. I reinstalled Adobe Reader only and then Firefox. I no longer have multiple empty tabs opening up but each time I open a pdf file, Firefox has to open as well. I am operating on Windows 7 Home edition. Can some one help this is a nuisance.
Thank you,
Steve Zalkin

Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

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 if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

  • I updated to the latest pdf reader, and all print files have a .prn suffix

    After I updated to the latest Adobe PDF Reader, I cannot print PDF files.
    The files have a .prn suffix, which is an old format for Lotus 1-2-3.

    I found a free utility called PrintFile that can print .prn files to USB-connected printers.
    When the utility is installed it associates .prn and other similar files with PrintFile.
    Now when I print a pdf file, I click on the .prn file that is created, and the file is printed O.K.
    It appears that Adobe deleted the Print to File option from the print screen in Reader 10.1.4.

  • Cant see iphone in itunes after the most resent itunes update

    After updating itunes I downloaded the new iphone IOS. After connecting my phone, an error msg could not update iphone. Now my phone has the connect to itunes screen and will not come off regardless of what i do. I cant see it on the computer or itunes now. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and a number of other things on the apple website, no joy. To me it sounds like a software problem to me, but i dont know. Does anybody have ANYTHING else?

    I had the same problem yesterday and called Apple Support and was walked through uninstalling iTunes (I had just gotten the latest update to it) and reinstalling it. My computer (Windows Vista) did not recognize the phone and would not sync. I powered down my computer, took it home, powered it up and plugged in my iPhone 4 with a different sync cable and it worked. The computer found an Apple driver that it couldn't find with the other cable. The defective cable will still charge my iPhone 4, but it will not sync. I have used that same cable since October, and it is the original shipped with the product. Go figure. I have not yet updated to iOS 4.3 and am going to wait a bit.

  • My Firefox browser has become corrupted by bannersdontwork popups and I will, sadly, have to quite using it.

    Firefox opens on my homepage, but whatever item I click on, a full-page popup appears asking me to answer a survey or promoting some service or product. I have used Firefox for years, but this madness is driving me back to Internet Explorer.

    hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 6.0 and all my contacts have updated

    Since completing the recent iPhone iOS 6.0 update, all my contact details have updated as well and I'd like to know how this happened. For example, a friend who I only had in with her first name, now has first and last name? Other contacts have added middle names and others with new email addresses and phone numbers. My contact details have also been updated on other people's phones with other email addresses and phone numbers. This is a tad concerning... what if I didn't want these people to have these other details? How did apple get this information and push it out to people's phones. Not all of these friends are 'facebook' friends either, so accessing details through facebook doesn't explain it.

    This could quite possibly be the result of a messed up facebook contact integration. Do you have a recent back-up?

  • Latest update 4 is slower, applications are slower and I don't have a home page tab any more

    Loading pages is slower since latest update.
    The change has affected games in facebook and other applications.
    We have no "home" tab...if we want to return to home page, we have to close internet down and reopen

    You might want to try reinstalling iTunes.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove programs. Find "iTunes" from this list, and click on "Remove".
    Your music will still be saved on your computer in a folder called "iTunes Music", which is inside a folder called "iTunes".
    After you've removed iTunes from your system, install it again from Apple's website here:

  • Using firefox with adobe pro x. pdf files open to a blank white screen.  any ideas?

    I am using a maco air with firefox.  I am using Abode Acrobat Pro X.  When I try to open pdf documents, i get a blank white screen.  Just started happening about two weeks ago.   What is the solution??

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.

  • Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box.   Only selected PDF files or all PDF files.  Am I doing something wrong?  I need to print only three pages from the document

    There is no selected print page range in the print box.  Only selected PDF file and all PDF files.  Any suggestions?

    Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
    NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
    BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
    It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

  • My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update!

    My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  At night I use a white noise app, and up to the most recent update, I never was below half battery in the morning.  Now my phone is completely dead in the morning.  I've noticed it draining faster in general since the update as well, but that particular app was just the best example.

    One of the new features on the iPhone 4 is Multitasking ; it lets you do multiple things at once. For example, while iPhone is busy downloading a movie from iTunes, you can switch to the Safari app and browse IMDb in the meantime. So there's no more waiting around.
    Each time you open an app and then press the home button, the app is still open. At the end, you may have too many apps opened at the same time.
    To close apps, double click on the home button. Your opened apps will appear; hold one of them, then click on the red close to close an app.
    Close as many as possible if you don't need them.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    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.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • While attempting to upgrade to Firefox 4, when prompted to drag icon to Applications, the Firefox icon has a white circle with a line through it, why?

    Hello puma1552,
    Are you referring to the *Do Not Disconnect* screen display while your iPod is plugged into and syncing with iTunes? Check out this Apple support document for its meaning and why you are receiving this icon. This icon always appears when you are syncing your iPod with iTunes. It's basically a warning message telling you that the iPod is currently in use and should not be removed.

  • What is the most recent software update for mac

    I have a recent MacBook pro and the most recent software update is over 1gb! I just wondered what it was? M

    A really recent MacBook Pro would be running Lion, Mac OS 10.7, and the most recent update is 10.7.3. The delta update from 10.7.2 was found to cause problems and rather than fix them, the update was pulled and Lion users were directed to the "combo" updater which contained all the code necessary to update any Mac running Lion from any previous version of Lion, which is a lot of code, hence the very big download. BTW, 10.7.3 has been problematic for some software so it would be wise to explore the comments and complaints in the Lion forum before you update since you can't go back if you change your mind without having a good backup. Also BTW, this forum is for the Mac Pro; you have a MacBook Pro, which has its own forum and can probably provide you with more useful information.

  • After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC.  I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

    After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7).  I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034.  Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest".  I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted.  The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.
