When a website wants to open a pdf document, firefox crashes and says some error with 2 boxes, one says "retry" and one says "switch to" but nothing works and firefox crashes.

see question above

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Check the settings as shown in the [[opening PDF files within Firefox]] article.

I want to open all pdf documents in full screen initially.

With Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) you can set the initial view of PDF documents.

How do I open my pdf documents in word and not in adobe reader?

I have a Mac. How do I set my computer so that my pdf documents open in word rather than in adobe reader?

If you opened a pdf document in Word, all you would see is a bunch of code so, it wouldn't help you.
Are you actually looking to "convert" a pdf document to a Word document so you can edit it?

When I want to open a PDF document The box that pops up asking if I want to open or save does not come up and it always saves. I need this changed.

When the window opens to ask if I want to save or not comes up it does so for WORD documents just fine, however, for PDF documents it never asks (it used to). Now it just automatically saves them without asking. I need this changed. I went into applications and changed the setting to always ask but it still is just saving, them no window pops up asking what I want firefox to do with the file like it does with a WORD document. IF I cannot get this resolved I will not be able to continue using firefox. I teach and I have students submitting articles etc in pdf format, I cannot constantly save all pdf files. I just want to open them, review them and then move on. There must be a way to change this so that the window asking what I want firfox to do with the pdf files opens.
thank you,
kkwright

Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then launch Safari and try again.

What if I don't want to open a .pdf in Firefox? Our software users don't want to see a header that now appears on their .pdf documents since the update.

Our customers print .pdf invoices to send to patients. Since the Firefox 19 update, a header appears at the top of each page with the .pdf name and our URL. This also occurs for any reports that they print. Is there any way to get rid of this header?

hello, firefox 19 has introduced its own integrated pdf viewer - if you want to switch back to the plugin you've used before to view pdfs just go to firefox options > applications & scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

I can't read an online ebook. asked me to how i wanted to open a pdf?

lets start from the beginning. i just recently (yesterday actually) erased everything from my macbook pro in order to install adobe creative suite. i reinstalled tiger on my computer. i'm a college student and i have been accessing a private online library for research. today i went to the same site to open an ebook and it opened up finder and asked me how i wanted to open the pdf. i hit 'cancel' and then the space where the book is usually opened just kept trying to load. it's never done this before. the information always pops up and i've never had to open any pdf files. what caused my mac to not open files properly and HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

Doesn't it automatically save as a .pdf file? That's what I get using IE9.

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

How can I stop 'A website wants to open...' when it is not relevant?

How can I stop 'A website wants to open...' for program Adobe Flash Player when it is not relevant and 'allow' only makes the message flash at me?

When you open a local file with Flash Content that links to a website, that warning is automatic, because it's one of the top ways viruses are delivered. If you "trust" the local file in the Global Settings, the warning goes away. It's that simple.

When a website wants to open a pdf document, firefox crashes and says some error with 2 boxes, one says "retry" and one says "switch to" but nothing works and firefox crashes.
