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.

  • 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.

  • 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]] <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.

  • 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.

    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?

  • 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'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).

    Hi efacg,
    Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.

  • Save As dialog hangup (Plug-in for Firefox)

    Hi folks,
    I'm running Firefox 5.0, equipped with the Adobe Acrobat (Reader?) 10.1.0.534 Plug-In for Firefox, on several fully patched XP Pro systems.  On a regular basis I view publicly accessible/non-DRMd PDFs via the Plug-in and save a copy by mousing to the bottom of the viewport to activate the autohide toolbar thingy and clicking on "Save a copy".  Doing so causes a Save As dialog to pop up.  Very frequently, an attempt to use that Save As dialog... immediately clicking Save to save to the default directory or clicking the Desktop icon to change to a different directory... will cause that Save As dialog to indefinetely hang.  In order to clear this condition I have to kill the AcroRd32.exe process, and sometimes also the plugin-container.exe and firefox.exe processes as well. The problem is intermittent in the sense that it sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't happen, even for the same exact PDF file.  This is something I've coped with for a very long time, under different versions of Firefox, on old as well as newly created XP Pro installs, before and after purging/reinstalling Firefox and Adobe software, different versions of the Plug-in, etc.
    Is this a known problem?  Has anyone else experienced this type of problem and found a way to prevent it from happening?  Thanks in advance.

    Acrobat is now at 11.0.3. Fixes for earlier versions come later.

  • Adobe Command Bar Available for Firefox?

    I've come to be reliant on the Adobe command bar in IE that allows me to create a PDF from a website (preserving links). Now I find myself using Firefox nearly exclusively and find there's no plug-in for Firefox that will allow me to create a PDF with hyperlinks.
    Does anyone know of a 3rd party or if Adobe supports Firefox now for PDF creation with Adobe Acrobat Pro v7?

    This doesn't seem to be about Distiller Server. I think you need the
    Acrobat Windows forum, but I fear the answer is no.
