FF 19 for Mac. changed preferences to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Now when I click on a pdf link, an about:blank FF window opens (pdf then opens)

The change in preferences opens the pdf appropriately with Acrobat Reader, as desired, but before it does, FF opens a brand new blank window (about:blank). How can that action be stopped?

Yes, I mean the eternal application.
Ctrl-click does open the dialog, but that does not cause new/blank FF window to show up.....however shift-click opens the new/blank window, then opens another FF window with a "New Tab" heading, then opens the pdf with Acrobat Reader.....
If open the dialog and select "open in new tab" (open in Acrobat Reader is not an option), a new tab is opened, and the the pdf come up in Reader (without opening a new FF window). In earlier FF, it just opened directly in Reader (or acrobat) without opening a new tab or window.
Thanks

  • Open PDF with acrobat reader not preview

    Hi everyone:
    I have been creating cross platform projects for a while now.
    I just noticed that opening PDF from director tend to open up in
    "preview" not in Acrobat. Is there a way I can tell my Mac project
    to open the PDFs in Acrobat, if Acrobat doesnt exist then open them
    in "preview." On PC they open in Acrobat (I guess this is due to PC
    not having anything that can read PDFs naively.)
    By the way, I create the projects on PC, and then test them
    on the Mac.
    thank you,
    Rafael.

    Is this how it is supposed to be on Mac? Maybe I am just
    asking something that I outta know...(like PDFs only open on
    Preview on Macs?)

  • When I click on a web link and hold down ctrl the page will not open into a new tab, it is just opening in a new window. How do I correct this?

    When I use to hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the page use to open into a new tab. For some reason this is not working anymore. Instead when I hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the link will open into a new window. How do I fix this?

    I figured out how to correct it. Not sure what exactly was happening. But I started into private browsing and then turned it off. It's been working correctly ever since I did private browsing.

  • I have several tabs open and firefox suddenly stopped displaying when I clicked on the taskbar icon. I am running windows 7, no idea of FF ver as it will not display. Rebooting pc does not help. Any ideas?

    Just noticed that I can open FF in a new window but cannot get to any tabs already opened in the other window. The first time I experienced a problem was when I opened one tab too many. I guess it was over 20 tabs open at once, but have now only 8-10 open.
    Just remembered, it could have happened after yahoo installed itself on the toolbar, then as a menu item. I declined this every time it asked to install, but it went ahead and I cannot remove it now.

    My scroll also doesn't work in Firefox -- but does in Excel and Word. This has been intermittent for months now. Usually, if I reboot the scroll would begin working again until for no apparent reason it quits again. Now even the reboot doesn't fix the no-scroll problem. I have Windows Vista. I even did a Firefox Update to 9.0.1.
    I don't have that file on my about:config page so this solution won't work for me.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • I recently updated to version 12. Now when i click on a web link from outlook 2010 the web page opens in an existing tab. I want it to open in a new tab.

    I recently updated to the latest version of FF (12). Now when i try to open a URL from an email INSIDE Outlook 2010 it opens in what ever tab FF has opened. I want to be able to open the URL in a new tab. Using the CTRL feature does not work from inside Outlook.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from opening a second instance of Excel when I click on a web link to a .csv file?

    I can't find anything about this online

    The CSV files are send as Content-Type: text/comma-separated-values
    Do you mean that you also see the file in a Firefox tab or do you get two Excel instances?
    You can try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

    i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating.  Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,
    Joern

    I have downloaded "Lightroom_5_LS11_mac_5_7.dmg" for Mac to update my Lightroom 5.6 (build 974614) but when I attempt to open it I get the following error message "Lightroom_5_LS11_mac_5_7.dmg can't be opened as the disk image is not recognised".

    Vk2mh it sounds like the download was not complete or corrupted.  Where are you downloading the update from?  Have you tried downloading again?

  • Using CS5.5 Master Collection for MAC, I can't use "Replace with After Effects composition"

    Using CS5.5 Master Collection for MAC, I can't use "Replace with After Effects composition" because I updated AE to CS6 (but only AE). Even that AE CS 5.5 is still installed, it won't connetct.
    How can that be fixed?
    Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

    Thanks for the answer: I tried different ways (after I read your suggestion) but it always changes back right away ... I can't change it.

    Maybe try associating AE project files with 5.5 instead of 6.

  • I reset Firefox. Now when I click on the icon to open Firefox my computer asks me if I want to let Firefox make changes to my computer.

    I reset Firefox. Now when I click on the icon to open Firefox my computer asks me if I want to let Firefox make changes to my computer.
    I have read that I should do a clean reinstall. Will I loose all of my open tabs, bookmarks, history etc?
    Is there another way to fix the problem other than a reinstall. this would have to be my last resort!

    A possible cause of this error is that Firefox is set to run as Administrator.
    Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

    Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

    I'm using Excel, Word and Outlook for Mac 2011 in Yosemite without any issues.  I can't speak for Powerpoint, as I've never opened it.  I'm not a power user in Office, so I doubt I've really exercised it.  But so far, Word editing and some simple Excel spreadsheets I use for inventory tracking have worked with no problem.
