Chrome as default browser and Adobe Shared Review

Below is a comment from one of my SMEs who is involved in one of my Adobe Shared Reviews.
SME Comment: I am about 1/3 done. I have Google Chrome as my default browser.  Clicking on the link brings up the document in the browser.  You have to select "open as pdf" to get the commenting tool bars.  I am using adobe reader 11 and it fails frequently.  If you use this, make sure you publish your comments frequently, because you lose everything when it fails.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why Chrome causes issues versus IExplorer. This is the first I have had this type of comment returned to me from one of my reviewers.
Regards,

Personally, I'd monitor to see what the application sets when applying the browser as your default on any other machine. Then check to see if it's getting set correctly on login. If it's not, force these to carry over using a UEM, Package, GPO, Script or
whatever you have at your disposal.
There may be a policy which blocks users from changing default progams.

  • I can open Safari, Finder and Google Chrome ( my default browser) but they do not display on my iMac.  Evidently they are minimized somewhere but I can't figure out how to maximize them.  This has been a problem ever since I down loaded Mavericks.

    When I open Safari, Finder or Google Chrome (my default browser) they do not displayanywhere on my iMac. 
    Tthey are minimized somewhere but  how can to maximize them. 
    I can't say for sure this is related to Mavericks but the problem began shortly after dowloading Mavs.
    Any suggested fix?

    Hope the following helps to make things clearer.
    When I left click Safari or Google Chrome in my Dock, neither expands.  When I then right click wither one in teh Dock, a dialog box pops up  which gives me the option to close them, which implies that they are in fact open.
    In other words, when I left click on Safari or Chrome in my Dock, nothing visibly changes on my Desktop.  Indeed, neither Safari not Chrome are listed as the active window in the menu bar.  If I do the same with Finder, at least Finder shows up as active in the menu bar but that's all.  Finder itsef is not accessible and so I cannot  use it.
    On the other hand, I ahve no problem opening up Paralles 9 for Mac to access Windows/Explorer which is what I have done to send this note to teh Apple Communities Forum.  Nor do I ahve a problem opening up any of my other programssuch as Office for Mac, etc.
    I suspect this may be mavericks related but can't say for sure.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Since installing Firefox as my default browser, and removing Internet Explorer 9,which was awful, my Homepage screen is just in the middle of my screen with very small print and empty space on each side of it. Can the be fixed?

    Three days ago I installed Internet Explorer 9 as my browser. When I tried to sign in to my email on my homepage I couldn't.
    I contacted my service provider and they said that Explorer 9 was not compatible with them as it is in Beta form and also in test mode.
    They suggested that I remove Explorer 9 and install Firefox, which I did. Then they said it was a good idea to have more than one browser at a time and to go into the Microsoft site and download Explorer 8.
    I tried this and it would not let me go back to Explorer 8 only forward to 9 which I reinstalled.
    After all of this my Homepage only fills up the middle of my screen and I have empty space on either side of the picture. When I browse, the site I go to opens up to full page, but the print is much smaller than before.
    I don't know what I installed to make my viewing so much smaller or my homepage to shrink.
    Also do I really need 2 browsers or can I just go with Firefox?
    If so, how will not having Internet Explorer affect my browsing?
    Firefox is set as my default browser and I am enjoying using it, I just wish I had my Homepage back to full screen!

    When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

  • Widget browser and Adobe Help not opening in dw cs6

    I am trying to insert a widget in dw, but I cannot get the widget browser to open. I have dw cs6 installed in my applications folder along with Adobe>Widget Browser and Adobe help.  How can I get this to work?

    What version of Mac OS are you using?
    If you're not sure, go to the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.
    What happens when you try to open Widget Browser directly from the /Applications folder?
    How about if you try to open it from within Dreamweaver? (e.g. go to Insert > Widgets, then click the "Widget Browser" link)
    Have you tried updating Adobe AIR, which is used to run Widget Browser?
    Although it typically will automatically update itself, you can download the latest version of AIR from here to install: http://get.adobe.com/air/

  • Chrome as default browser

    I am trying to make Google Chrome my default browser. Even though I set it as my default in Safari, it never remains that way--it always asks to be set as the default.
    How do I make Google Chrome the default browser?

    Hmmm, one of 2 things...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
    Reset Launch Services...
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html#Anchor-Reset-47857
    Reboot.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
    If that doesn't allow the setting to stick, I suspect your user's pref Safari.plist

  • Default Browser, and Download option grayed out.

    My default browser, and Download option buttons are grayed out, what may be the cause of this? I can't seem to find a reason... can someone give me a list of possible fixes for this?
    Thanks.
    BTW this is not the beta version.

    Hi
    There may be corruption in the Safari preferences file. In the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist file found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
    Restart Safari. Select the Plug-in box. Quit Safari/restart. If this works you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, Address bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ).
    Otherwise, move the original file on your desktop back to its original location.
    If no joy, try the Safari Preferences from another User Account.

  • How do I make Firefox NOT my default browser and restore Internet Explorer as default browser?

    I used to have Internet Explorer as my default browser and when I went to Firefox it asked me if I wanted Firefox as my default browser and I always sad no. I must haves screwed that up somehow and I want to go back to Explorer as default.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    To make Internet Explorer your default web browser, you can click on '''Tools''' from the toolbar at the top and select '''Internet Options'''. Then select the '''Programs''' tab from the top of the window to access the default browser settings. You might want to also choose to be alerted if Internet Explorer is not your default browser. Click '''OK''' to save your changes.
    Please also be aware of that Firefox's latest version is [http://getfirefox.com 3.6.4] while you're running 3.5.9.

    I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Adobe Shared Review Doesn't Recognize Outlook 2010 as Default Email Program

    We just received new laptops from our company with Windows 7 on them and Acrobat 9.4.0. Previously, we were using Windows XP with Acrobat 8.3.2 and didn't have the following issue.
    When I begin a shared review and get to the Add Email dialog, I click To: and Acrobat pops up an error that Outlook is not the default email program. Fact is, though, it is the default email program. I checked under Default Programs and made sure Microsoft Outlook was set.
    Needless to say, this completely prohibits us from using Shared Review. There is no way around this that I can see (I tried just typing in email addresses but then it tells me it can't send it because I don't have an email client).
    Outlook opens fine via email links from my browsers (IE and FF), other documents, etc. The IE default email is set to Outlook as well (not sure that makes a difference).
    My fear is that this is a result of Windows 7 'not being fully supported by Adobe until an undisclosed release'. Please tell me I am wrong and there is a setting I am missing.
    I am inserting an image of the error.

    There have been other messages concerning compatibility issues with MS Office 2010
    Since Outlook is part of Office, I will guess that is your problem

  • Adobe Shared Review issue with webhosted sharepoint services

    Can someone please tell me what the issue may be when I try to send for shared review to a webhosted sharepoint site; I instantly receive this error without being prompted to login. When i select to send for review hosted through Adobe.com it works perfectly. I am able to go directly to this sharepoint site and login. Is there something stopping this on the local computer, firewall (port) etc? I have redone rights, workspaces, libraries but still cannot get past this error. HELP!

    Can you share more details about the OS and Acrobat version?

  • If Firefox is set as the default browser, and any application attempts to open a new window, this fails and I get the error "Firefox is already running..."

    Here is what I am running:
    Microsoft Windows 7, Service Pack 1, Fully updated to 4/10/2012
    Fresh Install of Firefox 11. No add-ons enabled as a result of troubleshooting.
    I am a user with administrator rights
    UAS is disabled.
    To begin, this has been going on Since Firefox 10 or so. A few months now.
    I am able to open Firefox. My add-ons worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, 4chan extension) had no problems. Firefox is set and has been set for the last two years as my default web browser.
    However Since approximately Firefox 10 or so, maybe before that, If I have a Firefox session open, and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running, but not responding error."
    I attempted to follow troubleshooting advice already posted (look for parent.lock files left behind [none present], multiple sessionstore.js files [none present], create a new user profile, attempted to clear out the "read-only" permission in windows 7, however as soon as it is cleared, the read only permission returns.)
    As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the %APPDATA%/Mozilla directory in its entirety, then utilized CCleaner to remove any and all references to Firefox in the windows registry, then did a full re-install, no extensions installed right now.
    I checked preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked off. The problem persists regardless if this option is checked on or off. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the brand new install.
    Test Cases:
    All cases:
    Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7
    Case 1: Open a firefox session. Utilize any other program that attempts to open a link to their website in a new browser window or new browser session. Experience "Firefox is already running" error
    Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox on the task bar. Select "open in new window". Experience "Firefox is already running" error
    Case 3: Open a firefox session. Select the Firefox Menu > New tab > New Window. A new window will actually open.
    This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.

    Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
    Marking case: Solved
    Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.

  • I set Firefox as default browser, and now IE is gone. How do I get it back?

    I downloaded the current version of Foxfire and set it as my default browser. I need to apply for work and many companies only support IE. I clicked on IE and only Foxfire opens on that icon. I can't find my IE, my bookmarks there are gone and I can't apply for the jobs! I took Firefox off as default browser, but it didn't bring back the IE. I am very unhappy at this point and need help!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when I set Firefox as my default browser

    After a lot of messing around with settings, and different windows, I found that it's only the desktop icons that are defaulting to open the Firefox browser. If you go to your program list, and open IE there, it works and all the bookmark info is still there.
