Cannot open PDF attachments on my Mac; I have to copy PDF address an open it on Safari instead.

I cannot open PDF attachment on my Mac. One might think it is just slow, but the attachment never comes up. I have to copy the PDF address and paste it into Safari or Explorer, which have no trouble opening the very PDF that Firefox would not handle. I am guessing that I have some setting that is barring PDFs; other attachments open fine. My adobe is up to date, I think; if that was the problem Safari, too, would not be able to open the PDF.

There is a plugin that you can use, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox

No matter what platform.
You are btw in a forum not for iMac users or even Mountain Lion. Mac Pro. 65lbs of desktop / workstation.
Preview will open some, Pages will open (import really) and I keep OpenOffice.org around to open a large variety. Even Textedit can open or preview Word documents.

PDF Attachments Removed from Mac Mail, show up in .Mac webmail

I have two clients that receive autogenerated PDFs from our ColdFusion server to their .Mac mail account. They had no problems receiving these attachment PDFs with Tiger, this problem is new with the Leopard 10.5+ operating system.
These e-mails have a little bit of text, a logo inline and a PDF attachment. In .Mac Webmail I see the image, the PDF attachment and all is well and good, strangely enough.
In the Mac Mail (v3.1) I see the text, the image and NO PDF attachment (it only says there is ONE attachment (the inline JPG), when in fact there are TWO. It seems that the PDF is being completely stripped from the message when received from .Mac's server. If I send the user a PDF from my MS Outlook, or any other e-mail client, it's received fine.
Anyone have a similar issue, and have you found a fix? Or any ideas where I can troubleshoot from here?
I'm stumped.

The thread here discusses the same issue, and the Command Y hack worked for me. There's got to be a better way.

I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail. PDF attachments are included in the e-mail as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon. How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon. How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader. To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

I can't open email attachments on my ipad that have an arrow on them. Those with a W open just fine. Also can't open jpeg files-- they also have an arrow on them. Any ideas?

Hi, I can't open email attachments that have an arrow on them. Attachments with a W (windows) open just fine. I have an ipad 3. Thanks for any ideas.

Attachments that show as a bold downward pointing arrow in a gray rectangle in a dotted box have not yet been downloaded to your phone (usually because they are large). Tapping such an icon should download the attachment if you are connected to the internet and your mail server is reachable. Once downloaded, they should appear as normal (which would depend on the attachment type).
This is the "Using iPhone" forum, so I said phone, but the same applies on an iPad.

FIrefox hangs up when opening myyahoo and other websites. I have no hang up when I open sites in Explorer. Can I delete and reload Firefox without losing my bookmarks, etc.?

When I say it hangs up I mean that the pages open almost 100% but the green loading bars at the bottom of the page hang up at the last two green bars for 5 to 10 seconds or more before the page is 100% loaded. This occurs with all sites I open with Firefox. I have no delay at all when opening these same pages with Explorer.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

I, too, have had to switch to Safari after using Firefox for many years. It's useless for me if I can't attach any document to an e-mail. Is Firefox working to fix this problem?

I can't open any attachments on gmail, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix?

I can't seem to open up any attachments in gmail. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix? Thank you

Hello Jim,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with opening attachments in Mail on your iPad.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Thunderbird email links will no longer open on the Firefox browser. (I have to use another browser to open email links.)

Since a recent update (either for Firefox or Thunderbird, don't remember which), links in my Thunderbird emails will not open in Firefox. I can't even open the Thunderbird "help" link. In desperation, I installed Opera, and the email links work perfectly well. There seems to be some sort of disconnect between Thunderbird and Firefox.

I fixed this myself. You have to ensure that Firefox is the default browser. In the Firefox menu (maybe under Edit if you are running Linux) go to Preferences. Click "Advanced" then in the "General" tab click the button toward the bottom that says "Check now" and Firefox will automatically check if it is the default browser and, if it is not, ask you if you want to make it default. Answer "yes" to this question.

Can' open my Yahoo mail after Nightly updated, have to load basic mail, will open in Internet Explorer

It will not open any of my mail unless I revert to basic mail worked fine til last Nightly update.

You need to go back to the 5/27 Nightly build. There was a change in the code and broke Yahoo. Nightly builds can break '''anything''' at '''anytime'''. For anyone using the Nightly builds, this is common knowledge.
Anyway, go back to the 5/27 nightly and stay there until this is fixed:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2014-05-27-03-02-02-mozilla-central/firefox-32.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe
You can watch this bug if you want:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017134
But if something breaks in nightly again, please don't be surprised. Just go back to the previous day's nightly.

I havenot been able to open my Firefox for 2 days, I have updated and still it wont open, why

Firefox will not open

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
