Cannot open PDFs in FireFox 19 with reader XI

Previously using FireFox 19 and Reader 9.5.x clicking on a pdf file in a web site (such as a bank statement) would open the file in Reader.  After upgrading to Reader XI when I click on the file it only wants to save the file as "session.pdf" or "session.CGI."
1) What is causing this and what is the fix?
2) Where can I down load Reader 9.5.x to replace XI?
If replying via email please note that correct email is [email address removed] and NOT [email protected].  I can't figure out how to change it for my login

Are you sure you are using the Adobe Reader plugin, and not Forefox 19's PDF viewer?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136
Anyway, if you want to revert to Reader 9.x, uninstall your current Reader and download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • I cannot open pdf documents after installing Reader XI

    Hi I have just installed Adobe Reader Xl. I now cannot open any pdf document - the screen is blank and closes after about 10 seconds. When running the trouble-shooter it states there is a compatibility issue. I have re-installed, I have looked at my internet options settings but still cannot resolve the issue. Do you have any suggestions? I am running Windows 7 and Norton 360 Premier Edition software.  Regards Doug

    Interesting that when I installed ReaderXI I wasn't asked to accept terms.
    Cheers

  • Cannot open .pdfs in Firefox

    My wife's machine is running Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Cannot open .pdfs in the browser. Clicking a link to a .pdf will open a new tab that immediately closes, leaving me right back where I was, as if I had never clicked the link. I can right click, then Save As, download the file and open in Adobe Acrobat X. But that's not what I want, and not how it was designed.
    Internet Explorer 11 opens .pdfs in the environment described above, in-browser, with no problems.
    I've followed all the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972278 and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html. Neither Mozilla's nor Adobe's instructions can get me up and running.
    As a nuclear option, I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, restarted the machine, uninstalled Firefox, restarted the machine, re-installed Adobe Acrobat, restarted the machine, and re-installed Firefox, and restarted the machine. Attempting to open any .pdf yields the same result, even after uninstalling and re-installing everything. What's going on here? Why does Firefox open a blank tab, and then close it right away? Block pop-ups is set to off, and antivirus pop-up blocking is disabled.
    My own machine running Windows 7, Firefox 34.0.5, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard opens .pdfs in-browser just fine, with no problems.
    Any advice? I'm pulling my hair out!! Thanks for your time.

    Hey,
    Try the following:
    * Go to setting (3 bars) > options > applications.
    * Under applications panel.
    * Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it.
    * Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select Use PDF reader name (in Firefox) or preview in firefox.
    If PDF files are still downloaded instead of displayed, try these solutions
    Reset download actions
    * Open your profile folder:
    Click the menu button[[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help[[Image:Help-29]]and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
    Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
    Click the menu button[[Image:New Fx Menu]]and then click Exit [[Image:Close 29]]
    Delete the mimetypes.rdf file.
    Then open firefox again and see.
    I hope it helps.

  • Cannot open PDF in Firefox- Problem Solved

  • Cannot open pdf files while the Reader instance is running

    Today I suddenly noticed that if I try to open pdf file while the Reader instance is already running (even if it has no pdf files open), the cursor just blinks one or two times without any further activities. So the only way to open files now is by closing the previous instance and starting the new one. I think this problem started to appear after upgrading to 11.0.3. I am using Windows 7 32 bit.

    I narrowed the problem: it happens if the file is in a directory which is a join point on the NTFS file system (i.e. a link to another directory), where the link source is in turn a join point itself (i.e. we have a two-level NTFS directory link). As this is rare, it could be not a problem of the particular version of the Reader, it just probably happened by coincidence that after upgrading the first directory I accessed was of this kind.

  • Cannot open PDF files online with Firefox 4, help suggests foxit but don't know what that is?

    Earlier versions of Firefox allowed me to open PDF files online, without downloading. Firefox 4 does not allow me to open and read PDF files online, but requires downloading to computer.
    Help suggest altering settings in FOXIT READER, manually, but I don't know how to access Foxit reader, if I have it.
    Can I alter settings in Firefox 4, or do I have to go back to earlier version.
    Thanks

    I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
    I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

  • Cannot open pdf when sent with thunderbird

    When I send an email with Thunderbird the person who receives the email cannot open the PDF file, how do I fix this?

    The problem is apparently at the receiving end. Not much you can do about this. You'd need to provide more details about the problem there assuming the recipient also uses Thunderbird.

  • Cannot open pdf portfolio using adobe reader X

    Hi
    Previously, I thought that having Adobe reader 5 or up is enought to be able to open PDF portfolio's created in Adobe acrobat X, though on a differing level of view depending on the Adobe reader version.
    My Problem is, I tried to open a PDF portfolio, I have Adobe Reader X and it came up with an error.
    Newbie question, So, to view portfolios or any PDF's with flash etc, the ussual Reader would no longer suffice?
    Regards
    Jani

    Thanks for the replies. Dave, thanks for the really helpful link.
    The problem that this has created is for some guys who are previously sending reports (multiple pdf's/portfolio) to their clients in a hassle free way since it only requires the client (recipient) to have Adobe Reader installed. Now it requires another program as it was sort of separated from the Reader family. Previously, instead of having the ussual coversheet for the PDF portfolio to include that it is best to view on the latest version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat, will now need to include the latest version of Flash player as well.
    I have not tested yet, though probably on another topic, but does this also affect if you are planning to open a PDF created in Indesign and given the format of  "page flip"?
    Dave, do you have any tips on a possible workaround or atleast creating a pdf portfolio or any PDF document with SWF/flash capability to be user friendly or less hassle for a recipient to open?
    I am really sorry if I have a lot of questions =(

  • Cannot open PDF in Firefox on MAC

    I have looked at and tried almost every single solution provided in the community support but for some reason none of them seem to work! I cannot open a PDF in Firefox no matter what! I tried going to preferences and then application and then in action having it "preview in Firefox" - that did not work. I tried installing a plugin that was recommended - that didn't work. I tried everything and nothing is working!

    Try to disable the Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 10.1.13 plugin ("Adobe Acrobat NPAPI") and check it again.
    thanks again

  • Cannot open pdf after installing Acrobat Reader XI

    Installed as recommended update.  Now attempts to open pdf produce the message that file "could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist.  Change the association in your preferences."  What does this mean?  Running Windows XP.  Havve exhausted Acrobat help.

    My reply was to Frederick; yours is a different problem. "I cannot open anything" is not informative enough to help you.

  • Firefox 6.0.2 cannot open pdf's using adobe reader

    Dear all,
    Firefox seems unable to use adobe reader to display pdf's. I've set Firefox to use adobe reader and I've set adobe reader to accept use within a browser.

    Thanks for the replies. Dave, thanks for the really helpful link.

  • Cannot open PDFs in Mail with Mavericks

    When I get emails containing PDFs in Mavericks, I can see the PDF in the context of the message, but there is no indication that there are any attachments, no way to save them to a location, and I cannot even click on them in the message to get them to open in anything.
    The only workaround I have found is to double-click the entire message, so that it opens in a separate window. Then if I mouse over the upper margin of the message in the center of the top bar, a little oblong radio button appears, giving me the option to forward it, trash it, or save it.
    Double clicking within the message does nothing.

    Actually, I realize that the little pop-up radio buttons appear in the original message as well, when you mouse over the fine line that separates the heading from the body of the message.
    Too bad that information isn't explained with the What's new in Mavericks information online.

  • How can i open pdf on safari with reader 11,0,07

    i've got Imac with OSX 10,9,4 and adobe reader 11,0,07.
    i can't read pdf on website.
    i've got this error message :
    Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement.
    but i don't know where i can accept the licene and there is no support for reader 11.
    if you have got a solution...

    Did you open Adobe Reader on it's own (not through the browser)? If not, you can find it in your applications folder where all your other programs live. Launch it and accept the EULA.

  • Cannot open pdf files with Firefox's built-in pdf viewer

    This just started (I think) with Firefox 37.01. This is on Win7-X64. I cannot open pdf files with the Firefox built-in pdf viewer. If I click on the file or try to open it from within Firefox, it brings up a "opening filename.pdf" message. If I select the "Open with" radio button as 'Firefox (default),' it just keeps looping on this process; it never opens. In Tools => Options => Applications, Portable Document Format (PDF) is indicated as 'Preview in Firefox.' I've never had any other PDF viewer installed on this computer. I've tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, but it still doesn't work. I searched for solutions but haven't found any for this specific issue.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello,
    Have you tried, to start Firefox in safemode you can do so by following these steps
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
