Firefox 17.0 for Mac OS X missing Preferences- Applications- Preview Doc (application/PDF) entry to set behavior for PDF files

I want to set Firefox to automatically download or save a PDF without the panel coming up to ask me. However, when I go to Firefox->Preferences->Applications there is no entry for PDF files to set it to open or save the file without asking me (i.e., no Preview Document (application/PDF).
I am using Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS X 10.6.8 using Intel Core 2 Duo

I have .pdf associated with Preview. The issue is that in Firefox->Preferences-> Application tab does NOT contain an entry for Preview Document ((application/PDF) which is needed to do an association that will occur automatically every time Firefox encounters a doc of that type. (the application tab has Preview Document (image/<6 types>) but no entry for the PDF format.

    Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

    Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?

    why would you say things like that here? if you are a windows one then stay there. but you are not polite or helpful and if can't use Apple i wonder why you would come here to tell all about your sad story. I don't understand that it has nothing to do with question asked.
    I own, or should I say have owned, several Apple products. Including a new MBP.
    I also use Windows.
    I will say anything I like in an effort to help people overcome problems they are having with Mac's and computers in general.
    Being a Apple Fanboy is not required for membership on this forum or trying to help other Mac users.
    And just how is suggesting to remove Lion and to go back to Snow Leopard not helping the OP in his quest to make his already owned and paid for MS Office software work? If it is isn't broken stop trying to fix it. Snow Leopard is a fine OS. Lion is still in Beta, only Apple hasn't told anyone. And yes I run Lion on my new MBP but I also have a partition with Snow Leopard on it.
    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Apparently, I downloaded "Kindle for Mac, Twice. It appears in preview and desktop. cannot access nor register.Please advise?

    Apprently, I downloaded "Kindle for Mac" twice. It appears on my Desktop and Preview. Cannot access not register it
    Please advise?

    Yes, I didn't think it was very good either!
    You are correct in I should have said "Repair Disk" - Verify Permissions is not available on the maxtor drive ( it is dimmed) in Repair Disk.
    Until now, the drive has worked perfectly, and I did not install any of Maxtors software when I originally connected the drive to this system, I just formatted it as a Mac Extended and it worked great. It was only after the fresh Erase & Install - even then it worked fine. It was only when I created a new account that the problem started.
    What I have done is get hold of a demo version of a program called "Mac Drive 6" which allows you to read any Mac formatted disk or drive on a Windows system, - fortunately i still have my Windows XP Pro system which I have also connected to my home network.
    So for the next four days (the length of the demo) I can access all of my files on the disk and copy them to my Windows system.
    This is really great because I have all my data and images back which were my biggest concern.
    I thought I might get another drive anyhow, and when I have everything backed up on a new drive and on the Windows system, I can then reformat the Maxtor drive and start afresh with it.
    Thanks for all your help anyhow.

  • If I switch to iCloud, Outlook for Mac is not synchronizing with iCal and iCloud anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?

    I normally use Outlook for Mac as the standard email and calendar programm. When I use the USB cable fro synchronising contacts and calendars with my iPhone 4s ther is not problem at all. iCal, Mail and Oulook for Mac are synchronising perfectly.
    When I switch to iCloud, Oulook is completely empty and Calendar and Contacts are not synchronised anymore.
    Is this a known problem, and is there a solution for it?

    I have the same keyboard and do not have battery issues.
    It may have something to do with using rechargeable batteries.
    You can also try removing the keyboard then re-pairing it. Maybe a bad bluetooth connection is draining the battery.
    System Preferences > Bluetooth > right-click (control-click) on the keyboard > Remove > Remove
    Wait for it to show in the bluetooth list then Pair > enter the number sequence & return as displyed on the screen.

  • Cannot download for mac - neither with firefox nor with safari

    can anybody help me, please? I'm asked whether I want to download and install or not. But the YES button does not work.
    tried with different browsers but I cannot install.
    adrian

    Hey Adrian_O,
    It may be that security is blocking the download, so I suggest downloading Digital Editions first and then installing from there. Check out the kb doc below, it has links for manual downloads of Digital Editions for both Intel-based Mac and PowerPC Macs.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051.html
    For your convenience;
    Manually install Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS
    Finish installing or uninstalling any other applications.
    Uninstall any earlier versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
    Download the installer package for your Mac OS X machine:           
    Intel-based Mac: Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 for Intel-based Mac
    Mac PPC: Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 for Mac PPC            
    Note: If you clicked the wrong Mac  OS X platform, an error message appears. Close the message box and click  the correct link to restart the installation.
    Click Open in the File Download screen to start the installation.           
    Note: If your connection times out, click Save, instead of Open, to save the installer package to your desktop.
    If necessary, unzip the .zip file. If you're using Safari as your  browser, or if Firefox is set up to unzip files, the file unzips  automatically.
    Double-click the .pkg file to start the installer, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Note: If your connection times  out, save the installer package to your desktop. (Click the link for  your Mac OS X machine, and then click Save.) Double-click the file to  start the installation.

  • Where do I find the option "save frame as" in Firefox 4.0 for MAC ?

    In Firefox 3.6 for MAC I used the option ''save frame as'' from the FILE-menu to genereate a file called ''Container.aspx.html'' which I could open afterwards with Excel. It was good solution for not loosing the format of columns in html when going to Excel.
    Now I have upgraded to Firefox 4.0 for MAC and it seems that the option "save frame as" is no longer available in the FILE menu? Thanks in advance for helping me out.
    Kind regards,
    Joeri

    Any takers to make an easy procedure as I review all the
    above again. Thanks again everyone.
    ED: Yeah I read the help on the buttons again and the drag and drop
    solution is just too vague and no attention to the presentation to what
