A link from another programme (Adobe Reader, eMail) take almost 2 minutes to show up in firefox. A link from a webpage in firefox opens in less than 2 seconds

Firefox v17.0, windows7.
this is not related to the web page, all URLs present this issue.
firefox is the default browser

Hi,
You can try to '''Associate a file type or protocol with a program''' via the Windows '''Control Panel''' > [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default Default Programs]. Look for '''.url''' > (ignore existing Firefox) '''Change Program''' and '''Browse''' and select Firefox again.
Also, if you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?

    How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?
    Files from Google Drive are appearing in "Recents" where I cannot organize them hierarchically.
    I cannot find a user manual for Adobe Reader for Android with this level of detail.

    Hi John,
    Files opened via Google Drive are not listed in ‘Documents' section of Adobe Reader, because they are read only files. If you really want to save these files to ’Documents' then please follow below steps -
    Open the file from Google drive in Adobe Reader.
    Tap on the Comment icon placed at top toolbar(Second icon from the beginning)
    You would encounter a 'Read-Only document’ dialog, tap on Save button.
    Once you performed above steps , your file will be saved in /Download/Adobe Reader/ folder.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks,

  • HTTP Link in PDF with Adobe Reader X

    Hie everybody,
    I'm facing a problem with adobe reader X.
    When i open a pdf and try to open an http link within the PDF, it takes up to 30 seconds before a popup comes up asking me if i want to trust the site.
    When i open the same http link in the same pdf with Adobe reader 9.3 it only takes 2 seconds ....
    Is there a way to solve that issue on Adobe X ??
    Thank you very much

    hey watchon,
    did you work this out? do you have a solution?
    i have exactly the same problem on windows server 2008 r2 with adobe reader x. in my case, there are + signs in the http-link and then it behaves like you mentioned. a file without any special characters in the path does not do any problems - it just opens as it should...
    thanks in advance!

    Also if you have an experience to share then do share it as well please.

  • I accidentally changed a setting so every time I open a jpeg photo, adobe reader pops up and says it's not compatible.  I just want to be able to open a jpeg normally and not have adobe open.

    Hi Lhughes0,
    Try these steps:
    1. Select the .jpeg file
    2. Right click on that  file and on context menu go to the last option which says "Properties"
    3. Now you will see the option where you change the program to use for opening your file
    4. Instead of Adobe Reader select Windows Photo there.
    5. Apply and say OK to it
    Give it a try

  • Cannot print from IE11 with adobe reader 9.4.2

    When we open pdf files within IE11 and try and print, the printer properties box becomes unresponsive.
    we need to crash IE to resolve it, but are unable to print.
    we cannot upgrade Adobe Reader as we have another application which doesn't work with anything higher.
    I saw there was a workaround for adobe acrobat, but we need a fix for reader if possible
    changing the setting in adobe to open the pdf in it's own window is not a solution for us either

    No difference in output using the latest version.
    We are printing to Xerox WorkCentre 7425/7435 printers. When printing from a full version of Adobe Acrobat the advanced button of the Print Driver popup has check options for Marks under Marks and Bleeds while printing from Adobe Reader does not.

  • Printing PDF from IE with Adobe Reader - extra white space at top of page

    I searched the forums far and wide but did not find this question or information to answer it.  If it's out there, I'd be much obliged if you'd point me in the right direction.
    A user of the web app for which I do tech support just called to say that starting today, whenever he opened a PDF from our app (in IE), the PDF looks fine on screen but when he prints the PDF, every page has extra blank/white space inserted at the top, which cuts off the bottom inch or two of each page.
    No other users have called with this complaint, and if changes to our app or an automatic background Adobe Reader or IE update caused this problem, I would have heard from many users.  I have a sneaking suspicion I have heard about this from other users, but since troubleshooting their IE or Adobe isn't exactly my job, I don't know if I did any more than advise them to talk to their tech support people. 
    I can't recreate his problem (read: it works fine for me), but I'd like to help him.  Can anyone think of a reason why this might be happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    What I know:  He's using Adobe Reader X.  I do not know if it's the most recent version.  The problem only exists with PDFs from our web app; he's not having trouble with other sites or with other PDFs.
    I do not have a copy of the PDF; I can't give you the copy I downloaded when I logged into his account because there is proprietary confidential information on it, but everything worked fine for me and he's the only user with this complaint, so I believe it's related to his PC or printer, not to our app or to Adobe per se. 
    I sent him email asking for more information, but I do not know what printer he's using.  I don't even know what version of Windows he's running. 
    Based on some info from Adobe, I suggested he make sure he's using the most recent version (10.1.2), try 'print as image" to see if that's any more successful, and make sure his printer drivers are up to date. 
    Given the nature of tech support, if he solves the problem or finds a workaround he's happy with, I may never hear from him again to know.  I just wanted to know if this was a known issue and what recommended resolutions for it might be.  Having not found anything on the web at large, I figured the Adobe forums would be a good place to ask.
    Thanks for the time you took to answer.

  • Adobe reader waits about 5 mins and still fail to accept pdef drop from 3rd party applications

    The Adobe Reader Version 7.0 on Linux SLED 10, waits about 5 mins and still fail to accept the drop of pdf file from another application.
    The drag source create a tmp file in the /tmp directory and drag target type is text_uri_list. with XDND as protocols.
    Would it be possible to find out what is required to accept drop for the Adobe Reader ? and why does it takes about 5 mins to return drag fininsh events ?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, the 7.0 Reader doesn't accept drag-drop on the application window. However Reader 7.0.8 (and the upcoming Reader 8.1) does.

  • Print all linked documents (was Re: Adobe Reader X Issues)

    Hi Jeff
    Is there any way to print pdf   via print all linked document  option from  internet exploer?
    Thanks ahead for your help .

    Are you trying to print to a pdf file with Adobe Reader? Are you viewing a pdf file in Internet Explorer using the Reader plug-in and trying to print to a physical printer?
    In either case the answer is no.

  • Print pdf file directly from a folder, Adobe Reader X in  Windows Server 2003

    In previous versions of Adobe Reader we were able to print pdf files groupwise directly when selected in a folder.
    Now I've installed Reader X on the Windows Server 2003 environment. Logged in as administrator I can still select <Print> by selecting the right mouse button in a folder. Logged in as a user, this is not available.
    I checked user-rights and permissions and made sure they have full control.
    Someone who can help us in this matter?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.
    The file menu doesn't show the print option either. We used to work this way, after installing the 9.0 and Reader X version, this option has disappeared from both the File menu and the right mouse button. For other filetypes, for example Excel the Print option is still available and works properly. Logged in as administrator on the serverconsole, there is no problem. So it seams to be something specific to pdf-formats in a server 2003 environment. The userrights are all set on full control (same as administrator).
    Thanks again

  • Start program from javascript in adobe reader

    Hi,
    I'm trying to develop a javascript that add a button.
    When the user click on the button, the javascriopt should run an executable, wait for the end of the process, then open a text file and save the pdf as the content of this text file.
    I've found how to open the text file in the api reference but i can not run the exe.
    Has anybody already done before?
    thx a lot
    Benjamin

    So, i have to develop them on a computer with the pro version to correctly compile the plugin?
    For testing I have copied an api file (already compiled) from the sdk folder to the plugin folder, i have disabled the certified mode but I cannot see this one into the list (see pic)
    What i'm trying to do is simple:
    Ad a save button, when the user click on this button, the plugin will have to run a program that write a path into a text file. After closing the program, the plugin will read the path and then save the opened pdf at this place.
    I think that the acrobat pro is a little bit "overkilled" for tht stuff, don't you?
    Javascript can do that:
    var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
    shell.run("explorer.exe");
    Why the adobe reader is not able to do that?
