Adobe pdf plug in for firefox, 10.1.4 version, does not work but can not update to new version, why?

Adobe pdf plug in does not work, when I tried to update following message appeared, "Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower has been blocked for your protection", how to solve this problem?

Could you review/adjust your preference for which program opens PDFs? I'm not sure how that drop-list behaves when there are multiple Adobe plugins. You might need to physically remove an old plugin file or two to make sure Firefox is not trying to use the old one.
* [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]] <br>
''Edit: actually this article describe how to use the Options dialog Applications section to review/change the setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]''.
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins (only one want nppdf32.dll here)
* In regedit.exe, check the following key for the source of obsolete plugins: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins
Both the file that stores download handling preferences, and the file which registers plugins, can be renamed and Firefox will regenerate them, so those remains options for further actions as well.

  • I have repeatibly loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update. While the plug in check is important it is quite bothersome at present. Please help.

    EVERY TIME the browser boots it kicks off the plug in check. I understand that this is important but it is currently a pain. Once I update Adobe Acrobat Plug in the browser does not recognize that the plug in has been installed and keeps coming up and up an up an up.

  • Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefox & Netscape ''9.4.1'' was causing unresponsive problems on my browser and I had to disable it . Is there anything I can do about this?

    I was getting an unresponsive script warning on most web pages, but more persistent on Windows Live telling me to stop script or continue. I could view the pages by doing both and the only way i could stop the warnings from appearing was to disable the Adobe PDF Plug-in. Increasing the time for the script to run didn't seem to work either. It was taking too long for the pages to load and Firefox used to hang.
    After disabling the plug-in it stopped doing it.
    Does disabling it effect my browser in any other way?

    Hello Vivek,
    I have learned I do have the latest Adobe Reader installed and that the plug-in is included in that download & install. So apparently the problem lies with the Firefox plug-in checker.
    I did the ALT + H, while in FF, & deleted the file, retried update, using the Firefox Plug-in Checker w/same results.
    Then I exited FF, did the Windows key + R typed in %APPDATA% & located it then deleted it, and now wouldn't you know the Plug-In Checker is not working, (We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later.)
    Just gave it another shot & it's working . But still no joy, same results, showing the plug-in needs updating - being outdated version.

  • Adobe PDF Plug-In for Firefox & Netscape 9.5.0 not installing

    Win 7/ FIrefox 10/ Chrome 17/ IE 9 (All current)
    I've asked this on other support sites, not getting THE answer. Be easier if I could copy/paste here, but here goes.
    I download the title plug-in to my download file. Once I click on run, nothing happens, I wait 15-45 minutes, then retry to install. I get a pop-up window says "Only a single instance of this application can run at a time:" I am not getting a download progress window.
    I have also attempted using Revo Uninstaller Pro to install it, same results.
    I have disabled my virus blocker during this process also.
    And I have followed the Adobe direct download link, but it will only let me select my OS, and language, not the version.
    Close down everything start from scratch same thing. I have tried right clicking on the download, exiting browser & running as an administrator, same results.
    I get the feeling, since the initial download is so brief that it is not really downloading, but what do I know.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks
    I have narrowed it down to; I have the current Adobe Reader installed. Firefox Plug-in checker is telling me that it is vulnerable & needs updating. I have no idea why. I have posted it on their forum page, but haven't received any replies, I posted it yesterday. Still if you have any info that might be helpful, since I am flying by the seat of my pants, I would appreciate it. I like to drive a car-don't know how to mechanic on one.

  • PDF Plug-In For Firefox found at my IE Program Folder?

    Hi:
    During recent troubleshooting of my Adobe Reader 9.5.2 update's installation, I found a 'PLUGINS' folder containing a copy of the 'Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox (nppdf32.dll)', located at my Internet Explorer Program's files folder.
    I wonder what would a Plugin for Firefox be possibly doing with my IE's files?
    Does anybody know or have seen this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, it's an identical copy (incl. version, dates and digitally-signed certs) as far as I can see on all these 3 folders located at C:\Program files\
    -> Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Browser -> nppdf32.dll
    -> Mozilla Firefox\plugins -> nppdf32.dll
    -> Internet Explorer\PLUGINS -> nppdf32.dll <--- This folder and file
    Please also note that IE Activex controls (3 files - also at version 9.5.2.295) are located at  C:\Program files\Common files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\
    -> AcroPDF.dll (PDF Browser Control)

  • How can I find a PDF plug in for Firefox 5 running on Mac OSX (10.6)

    I recently installed an Update and received a message that my PDF Plug In for Firefox would be disabled, but that when the Update had been installed the Plug in would be enabled. This has not happened.
    I am running Firefox 5 on Mac OSX (10.6)

    I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

  • I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • PDF Plug-in for Firefox on Macintosh Commenting support

    When I bring up a file inside the plug in, all of the commenting tools are greyed out (on Acrobat X) or simply do not appear (Acrobat 9.3). Is there a trick to getting this to work or is it planned for Beta/Production release of the plug-in?

  • Why is there no Adobe PDF browser plugin for Firefox?

    Firefox has just under 23% market share of the global internet broswer market and is second to IE.  Is there a technical reason as to why Adobe hasn't built a plugin or Add-on for Firefox??  Firefox is open source so it can't be any sort of licensing or rights issue.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    To avoid wasted airtime, please refrain from replying with "Adobe X can do it".  I've seen that in a few old posts from what seems to be a cavalier Adobe employee.  This has to do with Adobe Acrobat functionality with Firefox, regardless of version.  I run Windows 7 64 bit with Acrobat 9.  Thanks

    Please re-read the initial post
    I have read the post.
    You question was:
    Is there a technical reason as to why Adobe hasn't built a plugin or Add-on for Firefox??
    My answer:
    Acrobat X comes with a add-on for Firefox.

  • I need plug-ins for Firefox v.7 (ad and flash blockers). It can't be upgraded because my Linux netbook has 500MB max.

    running Ecafe slim HD with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 as standardized OS. They have released Firefox 7 as the official browser (probably because of lower RAM requirements). Ecafe has one 500MB DIM (which is probably why it runs Linux). Ad and flash blocker plug-ins aren't available for this version. How can we get them for this version of Firefox?

    The current version of Flashblock works with Firefox 7.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/flashblock/
    Adblock Plus 2.0.3 was the last to support Firefox 7; you can get it below.

    That being said, please note the following:<br>

  • My iphone5 unlock button is not working. Can I get a new iphone 5 and then trade that in for the new iphone 5s?

    Exactly what the title says.
    My unlock button got to the point where it does not work literally 80% of the time. I've dealt with it throughout the past couple of months and I've been too lazy to lazy to go to the apple store.
    I was planning on visiting the apple store about this issue and I've been told that I would be able to receive a brand new iphone 5 as long as I'm still under the warranty. I purchased the iphone 5 last year sept 10 (pre-order) and got it on Sept 21 i think....so I'm not sure which date is when my warranty will be over.
    Is it possible if I can get a new iphone 5 and trade that in + the difference of iphone 5 and 5s and receive the 5s?
    Just wondering. If I cant, then I guess I will stick with the iphone 5 for another year.

    Hi jehims,
    You will only be able to get a replacement for the iPhone 5.....
    But sounds like you need to get to the Apple Store soon, like yesterday.....

  • I am looking for R.A.Salvatore's latest book, "The Companion" but can not find it.  Does the Apple bookstore NOT carry all the new releases?

    I just want to know why some books are not carried by the iBooks store?  I wanted to buy the latest R.A. Salvatore book, "The Companion" but could not find it at the store.  This is the second time I wanted to buy a book that the store did not carry.  I just wonder why?  And is there a way I can use, "Nook for IPad" to get the books I want?

    Apple can only sell in a particular country what the book publishers grant them licenses to sell - if the publisher of that book hasn't done so, then Apple can't sell it.
    Depending upon what country that are in, and therefore what apps and stores that you have access to (most ebooks have DRM which tie them to the store's own app), then you could try Amazon/Kindle, Nook, or Kobo etc and see if they have it

  • I'm checking my plug-ins & I have an outdated Adobe Reader PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape vers 10.1.13.16. Updating doesn't help, just says up to date.

    Running Windows Vista

    Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't support the current Reader XI on Windows Vista.
    If the Help > Check for Updates inside Adobe Reader X says you are good, you'll have to trust Adobe on that. The Mozilla plugin checker isn't designed to have multiple current versions for different flavors of Windows (at least, the last time I checked it wasn't).
