Firefox 21.0 can't download pdf to imac running 10.7.5. How can I get pdfs to download so I read them?

On an imac running 10.7.5 with fire fox 21.0. Running adobe reader 11.0.03. Tried preferences, applications, went to pdf and selected Use PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4. Nothing happens. Anyone able to provide a solution?

If the problem only affects the one website, there's something else I suggest trying first. When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click globe/lock icon in the address bar > More Information > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a dialog where you can remove that site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

    Hello, I recently brought a new mac and I want to download my purchases into my I tunes. When I go to I store puchases the Download button is not live and says downloaded. They are onto my old computer. How do I get it to download again to my new authorised computer. Thank you for helping

    Copy them from your old computer. Copy them from the

    Are you logged on under the same Apple ID that you used
    to make the purchses? What are you trying to download?

  • I downloaded and re-installed Adobe Digital Editions so that I could get books from the library and read them on my tablet. It is not working and my tablet cannot open the books??

    What can I do? I am 68 y/o and not very computer literate.  I put an micro SD card in  my computer to copy the books (also some ebooks that I bought from a retailer) onto the SD card so that I could read it on my computer or my ereader by puting the card into the reader (tablet or whatever you want to call it).. HELP

    Please follow the below steps and check:
    1) Right click on the book in library that you want to copy from your computer. Click on the "Show File in Explorer".
    2) Copy/Paste the book from this location to your SD card.
    3) On your tablet open the book from your SD card in your ereader.
        You need to make sure that you authorize your ereader with the same ID with which you authorized your computer. In case you do not remember which ID you used for authorizing your Digital Edition, click     Help-> Authorization Information.
    Hope this helps. If it doesn't, please specify the ereader that you are using and the exact error message that you are getting. Thanks!

    Firefox upgrade once downloaded displays a blank browser window...how can I fix?

    Are you using the Firefox 33.0.1 version?
    *Help > About
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 33.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    You would have to create the ringtones.

    I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download (purchase is no longer a given option) ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens…how do I get it to download on my computer ?

    If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?

    When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?
    For instance I view an apartment ad which has various pictures attached. It says click on the pictures to see an enlarged version. FF opens the page however most of the page is blank and the picture appears to be pushed to the right side of the page and shows as if it has been scrunched agains the right side not showing the whole picture.
    What Can I do to correct this?

    I see that you have increased some font sizes considerably.
    * font.size.fixed.x-western: 20
    * font.size.variable.x-western: 22
    This can effect margins when the website specifies these as em values and cause content to shift.
    If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.
    *NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

    You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
    You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.

    Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can delete this user.js and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

    When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • HT5628 I've downloaded bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but I can't get a wireless internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I've downloade bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but i can't get the wireless internet to work. It does not seem to recognise it. Without the use of the internet the software that i want to install i.e sage instant accounts will be useless. Can anyone help please? i also have a problem of ejecting the cd disc. i press the normal eject button and nothing happens. The only way i could eject the windows 7 disc was to toggle to the mac side of the computer and it would eject from there. Does anyone know how to do this from the windows side?

    You have not installed the Boot Camp drivers.
    Start up in OS X and download the Windows support software from this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638 Follow the steps of the link except the ones to install Windows.
    Then, start up in Windows and install the Windows support software
