Does firefox 15 enables inbuild PDF reader by default ?

I'm unable to read my PDF files in firefox inbuild pdf reader (Not 3rd party plugin/Addon) ,
I would like to know does my firefox inbuild pdf is enable by default or not.

No, the built in Firefox PDF reader is not enabled in Firefox 15 (it is still under development). It may be released in Firefox 16 or 17 (depending on when it is ready).

Why does Firefox try to open PDF with Acrobat 8 when I have Properties set to use Reader 9.1?

If I click a link to a PDF from Firefox 3.6.10 it tries to open it with Acrobat 8 and fails, while if I double-click in a folder it correctly opens with Reader 9.1
If I try to open with Acrobat 8 from folder it won't work either, but why doesn't Firefox use the default program?

Go to Tools|Options|Applications. The first 4 entries relate to Adobe. Make sure that the association is for your 9.1 version. If it's not, click the association that is showing. You will get a downward pointing triangle at the right. Click on it and see if 9.1 is listed. If so, select it. Do the same for the other Adobe items.
You might also want to check "Folder Options" in the Windows Control Panel. In the "File Types" tab you will find all of the file extensions and the programs they are associated with. Scroll down to the PDF extension and insure it's associated with an "Adobe Acrobat Document. If not, click on the <change> button and find adobe in the program list.
Just to let you know, Adobe Reader is now up to version 9.4. You can go to Adobe's website to download the latest.

Why does Firefox 31 change all PDF icons and opening in browser, require a fix using REGEDIT to fix for ALL USERS on a computer?

The solution to use REGEDIT in the question linked below almost fixed my trouble with PDF files on over 30 computers, with several users on each computer:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013642
But I needed to fix it for ALL users on a computer, without logging onto each account, on each computer. My fix was to logon as administrator and change the following system-global key instead:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.pdf
Name: Default
Type: Reg_SZ
Data: FirefoxHtm
Changed the data from FirefoxHtm to AcroExch.Document.11
I use Adobe Reader XI on Win7 Pro, 64-bit machines.
The problem started when I ran a downloaded file to install the new version of Firefox on the computers.
Why would Firefox require me to use REGEDIT in this manner to fix the problem?

This only happens when you set Firefox as the default browser and Firefox thinks that there is currently no application the handles PDF files.

I opened an Adobe pdf document from a website and now the document is no longer available on that website. Is it possible to look at that document again? Does Firefox actually download the pdf, and if so where is it? Thanks much.

Just to clarify, the website removed the link to the pdf doc, which is why I can no longer retrieve it. I should have saved it, but I didn't think they would remove it.

This should get you to the temporary files [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/776263#answer-129514]
And if not you might be able to google the page and click cached. If you cant do that i would suggest going and contacting the site

Why does Firefox tell me it's not the default browser?

When I start Firefox, or when I go to the options system and check, Firefox 8 tells me it's not the default browser. Yet, if I close it, and go to some program such as Excel and type in a URL then click it, Firefox opens it. Any idea what's wrong?

That means that not all Firefox settings as default browser are set and that some are missing

Firefox 6.0 pdf reader brightness bug

Since updating to Firefox 6.0 the pdf reader has shown all text to be extremely bright and faded, even the buttons are extremely faded. Is there a way to resolve this?

oh indeed
http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/08/22/firefox-6-breaking-themes-plugin/
was the reason for it. didn't quite expect the theme to be the reason for it. guess i should kick the theme author to fix his style if he isn't already aware of it.
thanks for your help. this was driving me mad insane.

PDF reader with tab function?

I have downloaded many PDF readers looking for one that I can fill out pdf documents in, and use the tab key to move on to the next box instead of having to tap the screen. Does anyone know of a pdf reader that will do this? The tab key function? I don't even know if they make an ipad pdf app with this option. Thanks to all for any information. I am tired of downloading and then rinse and repeat looking for one.

Just incase anyone else is have the same problem, the closes thing I have found is an app called Type on PDF. But you have to make a templete of your PDF file, to get the correct field sizes and such..not an complacated as it sounds. But kinda *****, because I am a real estate agent and have hundreds of forms that I will have to go though and make templetes of in order to feel them out in ease. But its worth it to me, and it might be to others :) still open to suggestion if anyone knows of a program that fits my needs. Thanks to all who took the time to read this.

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

Reader X does not display drawing in PDF generated with LaTeX

I have a quite large PDF generated by pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 which contains also XY-pic drawings rendered with Xy-pic version 3.8.2, PDF driver v.1.4.
One drawing does not display correctly in Adobe Reader X. Neither on Windows, neither on Mac. It does display correctly with following programs:
Preview on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
Adobe Reader 9.x
Skim (skim-app.sf.net).
When I open this document with Adobe Reader X I get following error message when I hit page 58:
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem".
Where does one report rendering problems?

Firefox 11 not displaying pdfs with Adobe Reader update (MacOS)

Since updating to Adobe Reader 10.1.3, I noticed Firefox 11 does not display PDF files. It just shows a blank screen.
The only workaround I found is disabling the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in (ver. 10.1.3) the update installs. Firefox will prompt which application to use.Choosing Preview allows the PDFs to display correctly.
Neither Chrome or Safari exhibit this behavior, nor does Firefox 11 (Windows) with the update installed.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I've found another workaround to this problem. If you open Firefox 11 in 32-bit mode, it will be able to display PDF files.
To open Firefox in 32-bit mode, quit Firefox, go to the Applications folder, right-click on Firefox and click on "Get Info".
Then, under General, you should see a checkbox where you can have Firefox open in 32-bit. Close this window and restart Firefox and you should be good to go.

Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

Scroll bars are supposed to appear when needed.
For example, scroll bars will appear when you zoom in on a page.
FAQ: How to zoom in/out on a page
Windows 8 automatically hides scroll bars after a few seconds of inactivity. Scroll bars will reappear when you touch the screen and move your finger (on a Touch-enabled device) or move your mouse.
Additionally, page navigation depends on the view mode (Single Page vs. Continuous Page).
In the Single Page mode, you can swipe left/right (horizontally) or click the left/right arrow button with your mouse to go to the previous/next page.
In the Continuous Page mode, you can swipe or scroll up/down (vertically) to go to the previous/next page.

How do I specify Adobe Reader X as my default PDF reader in FireFox 4.0

I have been using Nuance PDF Reader 6 as the PDF plug-in in FireFox, bus since installing FireFox 4, I have experienced issues with the Nuance reader. For example, when displaying a PDF file, the elevator does not work. If I can capture the URL of the PDF, I can open IE8, which defaults to Adobe Reader X as its PDF reader, but I cannot always capture the URL. I would like to switch to the Adobe Reader as my default PDF reader in FireFox 4.

Well, you'd be wrong. Help->About tells me I am using FireFox 4.0. I do not see where I can get the name/version/serial of the PDF reader when I open it in Firefox. At least that's the case with the Nuance reader. Not sure about Adobe Reader X. Oh, and the Nuance reader can be VERY finicky about where you click on the elevator--particularly if the document has a lot of pages, which makes the elevator really tiny. I think some programmer didn't do his homework on how to apply the elevator code.

Enabling scroll down bar in PDF reader

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how to get the scroll down bar in text field in PDF Reader? I am unable to read the full text in the field without the scroll down bar.
Normally this should be a default feature?
Some background
I have a few text fields where the data to be displayed are governed by a dropdown list. So depending on what the users select there will be different texts in the field displayed. However for those long texts, when reading in PDF Reader there is no scroll down bar so I can't read the whole string of text.

Hi.
I have downloaded all the browsers on the web for iPad. Perfect Browser, Mercury Browser, Opera Mini. firefox and Google Chrome are not available for iPad.
It's the same problem with all.
I am sure all other iPad users must be having this very common problem. Since scrolling inside frames in web pages is very often required whenever you are browsing.
I have a brand new Mac air and a PC but in them the scroll bar is always available for inframe scrolling.
If you have an iPad, aren't you facing the same problem? Is the scroll down bar available to you when you visit the Apple communities page?
Thanks.

PDFs Opened in IE or Firefox Do Not Respond with Reader X

Toshiba Qosmio X505:
Windows 7-64 /Adobe Reader 10.0.1/ IE9 or Firefox 4.0.1
PDFs with floating mini tool bar that are opened from websites in IE or Firefox do not respond to clicking on buttons, including save. Right click does not provide Save As option.
Google Chrome 11.0.696.68
Same PDFs opened in Chrome have different mini tool bar and do respond to clicking on buttons. SAVE AS is provided with right click and does save document as PDF.
Toshiba Satellite A100:
Windows XP/Adobe Reader 10.0.1/ IE9 or Firefox 4.0.1 or Chrome 11.0.696.68
These same PDF documents respond to all toolbar buttons Including SAVE with Adobe X in this PC in all browsers.
Any suggestions. other than use Chrome all the time?

Hi,
The problem with ie9 or ie8 gets more complicated, since the alt key works on some files, one example is:
http://www.instrulog.dk/download/manualer/humanware/focus-14-manual
The files where it does not work are placed on sites that require sign in with a digital signature, so it is impossible to give urls to the files.
With screen readers and with pdf files in the browser, the normal way of getting to the
address bar does not work, but that is not really a problem but a minor irritation, and not a new behavior.

Does Firefox respect user account control rules for windows xp sp3, anything to do specifically to enable that ?

xp sp3
1.5g R / 2.46g P4
<u>edit information copied from System Info troubleshooting: </u>
More Information
*1)Does Firefox latest version obey/confirm to the rules for user account control for windows xp sp3 ?
* 2)Need I do anything specific at the time of installation and/or setting up/configuring preferences ?
*3)Or do I need to install Firefox separately for the limited users or in each users account ?
*4)Would it be possible/desirable/necessary to install it directly into some folder of the user other than the common program files folder ?
*5)In any of these situations, should I or should I not make the installation with 'Run As' admin privilege.
*6)If I install separately for the user/s, with/without admin privileges, will the install write to , or enable user activity to write to, the other common windows folders(where user write is otherwise disallowed).
Please kindly clarify. I am waiting for an answer before I reinstall Firefox and a lot of other apps(these were done earlier before creating the user accounts. Please note that I do not mind installing separately for any/all users. But security will be my preference as much as possible(PARANOIA). I am having to deal with a couple of users who cant understand all this and the folks are too old to understand.
Thanking you in anticipation

------------

A far as I recall from when I did use XP the procedure was to install Firefox using an Admin account, preferably the Administrator account.
By doing that the Firefox installer would create Firefox within the programs directory. And each separate user account could then use Firefox. Importantly each user account has a Firefox profile and so have their own separate and individual bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache etc.
IIRC UAC was not available for XP. Permissions and what you could do would also differ; I seem to remember; depending on whether it was using FAT or NTFS. In some setups a knowledgeable admin account user could probably fully access any other account.
