Associated helper application does not exist

Please bear with me as I'm computer illiterate....
I'm a new Mac user and I don't even know if my problem is Mac related, Adobe Reader (the application) related or Firefox related....
It appears I've been opening PDF files with Preview ever since I got my Mac (I didn't realize this until today, but always wondered about why it would not open in my browser) and lately - for some reason - I'm unable to view PDF files and get the message mentioned in the subject line.
I honestly don't know what to do - I've been struggling with it all day, removing Adobe Reader, re-installing it, etc.
One thing I did find strange was that my list of Download Actions in Firefox was next to empty. Any ideas as to where I should start looking for the cause of this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

BTW I don't care whether I view it in Preview or Adobe Reader - I just really really need to be able to read my mail from work! TIA

first, you just asked me to use MS file Explorer to see what the properties were.,..and to ask what happened. Yes - that's on my hard drive. The problem I have is opening word files in a DB that is web enabled.....I've used Firefox browser for that, and everything else , for years...... When I look at the Tools, and options on FireFox., as your support page noted.....NOTHING is listed in the Applications tab....hence my note asking for help. The file I need to open is a Word file out on a web enabled DB. It's not on my hard drive - I have to problems opening docs there - but for that, I don't use Firefox

What action dom i take for this error message "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences"?

Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?
You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

I'm getting the message: C:\Users\Jane\AppData\Local\Temp\topics_politics_intermediate-11.mp3 could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

At first I thought it was a broken file, but then realised it was all MP3s.
The same MP3 downloads fine in Internet Explorer.
Thanks.

I cannot download word documents. Error message says assocated helper application does not exist.

Tried downloading word document from email. error message Associated helper application does not exist

To open a document you must have installed an Android application for it. The file is downloaded but can be opened with Firefox, but with the specific app from Android.
Try installing a documents app and for sure it will work.

I get a message that helper application does not exist when I try to open a jpg or excel files as attachments. I have associated use windows live photo gallery

I have gone to Tools, Options, Attachments and there are programs associated that should be able to open the files - Windows Live Photo gallery for JPG files and Microsoft Excel for excel files. I have to actually download and save the files and then open them. Is there a fix for this?

I found a solution, but it's not an easy fix, you need to know your way around linux and you need root access to your device. IF YOU DON'T KNOW LINUX, DON'T EVEN TRY, GET A FRIEND TO DO IT FOR YOU!
In my case the root cause was the following stray desktop files:
/usr/share/applications/installer-extra/appwizard123406.desktop
/usr/share/applications/installer-extra/qmlreddit.desktop
/usr/share/applications/installer-extra/remoter_harmattan.desktop
they might be different in your case, but if you don't have either of those apps installed, remove them.
Now, to find out which .desktop files are causing the issue, the easiest way is to make a new folder and put them all in there. Afterwards you look at
/home/user/.config/meegotouchhome-nokia/launcherbuttons.data
and see if you can find a few lines where the first number at the end of the slash is not 0 (if the folder you just made is the first one, the number will be 1, if it's the 2nd, it'll be 2, etc, ...)
Once you've identified the files, remove the corresponding .desktop files with rm .

RoboHelp air help application does not show pdf files

Hello everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post my problem.
I am developing an air help application and I want to embedd some pdf files. I tried two different ways yet:
1. A direct link to the pdf file (which is located in the project folder)
2. An iframe
In the topic preview both ways are working fine. But when I generate the application, it just shows a black page, where the pdf content should be.
Thanks for your help.
Holger
