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 But still no joy, same results, showing the plug-in needs updating - being outdated version.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.

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.
This is the message I get.

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]] 
''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.

Several things I want touse my ipad2 for require adobe flash player which I find isn't available to my iPad- is there anything I can do about this- it is very frustrating!

There are several things I want to use my new ipad2 for thatvrequirevadobe flash player which I find is not available tonipad.this is so frustrating! Are there any alternatives that will do the same job that I can use on my iPad?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject.

Just recently, Firefox has not allowed my Hotmail to open without first showing a banner that says Firefox will not open my program and I must hit the "Allow" button to get this open. Is there anything I can do about this?

I have been using Firefox for years with Hotmail as my e-mail provider with no trouble. Now I am getting messages that say some script is running; do I want to continue or cancel and then a brown message bar will appear asking me me manually allow the opening of Hotmail. A minor annoyance yet one I have not encountered until a few months ago and would like to fix.

The domain by domain automatic save for the zoom feature in Firefox has stopped working with Facebook, is there anything I can do about this?

I normaly use the zoom feature with Facebook in order to more easily be able to read and see. I like how the entire page zooms in. Recently, however, the zoom started reseting every time i click myself from any page on Facebook to any other. The zoom simply won't save at all, it just resets to the default value.

Lately it has been taking longer for Firefox to open and will lockup occasionally. Firefox has been my browser for years and I have never had this problem before. Its there anything I can do about this problem?

Once this happens, it takes a while like it is catching up but eventually will clear the jam. It has locked up and or crashed and I manually have to reset my computer.

This can happen if you've zoomed the page. That effects the screen dimensions as reported by JavaScript and seems to confuse Yahoo.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

My iPhone 4 has been randomly dropping contacts for a few months. Is there anything I can do about this, or what might be causing this? Is there a limit to the number of contacts?

Phone drops contacts, anyone else have a fix for this?

Mine too. I "finally" got an iphone and supposedly stepped up to the now. I got an iphone 4 as it was free and I don't need every gadget available. I like some of the features, but Blackberry could teach them how to be user-friendly. And having to keep adding my kids back to my contacts is getting old. I have had to do this about 20 times and I only got the stupid thing at the end of July. Not amused and probably the last apple product I will ever own.

AdobePDF Plug-in for Firefox & Netscape 10.0.1 won't update for me

I check my plug-ins almost daily. Adobe Acrobat needed to update. I have never had trouble before with this.
It's Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 that won't update. Thing is the Adobe Manger came on and it looked like it was done and in my Add-ons box it's there but the plug-in on my Firefox plug-in page says it's outdated. I tried to install it several times and the Adobe Manger downloads but site still says it's outdated. My Adobe Reader X works fine though. Maybe this is something I don't have to worry about but I don't know. So, I'm asking for some help.
Also, even though this didn't update correctly, when I did update the first time it brought along a new plug-in called getPlusPlus for Adobe 162103, at first I disabled it in my add-0n/plug-in box but I read that this helps Adobe Reader and I enabled it. But the Plug-in box remains grey and says unknown. So, should I disable it?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Sincerely,
Debbie

No, it won't interfere with your Adobe Reader X as it is only the problem with the plug-in. Your Adobe Reader X will still function normally. You should receive a notice from Adobe in your PC to notify you there's an update waiting to be installed, if you have chosen to be notified:
Open Adobe Reader X > Edit > Preference > Updater and choose whatever option you prefer.
Or you can also check for update periodically at Help > Check for Updates

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.
PD,- Question reposted from > http://forums.adobe.com/message/4683686#4683686

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)
-> AcroIEHelper.dll (Adobe PDF Helper for Internet Explorer) and
-> AcroIEHelperShim.dll
Weird indeed! Any ideas?

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?

iTunes gift cards can only be used in the country in which they are issued - so US gift cards can only be used with US-based iTunes accounts. Do you know anybody in the US that you could sell/give the card to ? Or you could just sell the card.
