Firefox 31 changes all PDF icons to Firefox HTML icons that I can not seem to change back, can this be rectified? Using Windows XP.....

Once Firefox 31 is installed it sees all PDF files as Firefox HTML files and changes all of the PDF icons to Firefox HTML icons. This change can not seem to be reversed without uninstalling Firefox.
Only the icon is changed, not the .PDF extension.

Thank you for your reply but it's not that simple:
Windows now thinks that the default file type for .pdf is Firfox HTML Document.
I can change which program opens .pdf files but I can't change the icon.
Not a Firefox problem? Really?
EDIT:
Let me explain further so that you can understand. In folder options / file types I can scroll thru and choose any file type / advanced and change the icon...every one of them except (now) .pdf. There is no advanced tab. Only the message about "restore" I mentioned before.
Firefox changed the file association for .pdf files and now I can't fix it.
And from another thread:
"Firefox 31 is not converting or renaming your files. All it is doing is registering with the Windows OS as an application that is able to open the files and Windows then changes the file's icons accordingly.
This should only occur if no other application has already registered your .pdf files."
Well I guess that's not true is it?

I have Norton 360 on my computer and with the older version of Firefox, Norton remembered all my passwords but this new version of Firefox doesn't. How can this be fixed or is there a way to fix this?

I have Norton 360 on my computer. I use Firefox regularly and I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. I was able to use Norton 360 in Firefox. Norton saved all my passwords I use online. Now the latest update of Firefox does not allow me to use Norton 360. Is this compatibility problem with Firefox or with Norton? Can this be fixed? If so, how? What do I need to do?

Works for me on Linux with Firefox 10.0.1
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

All PDF print as completely black pages. I can read the PDF fine. This is true on any printer.

A google search shows others have had this problem, but I have not seen a solution posted.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, without help. I'm wondering if this is a registry problem.
I saw some post that referred to a stuck switch of print colors as black, but I know nothing about this.
Please help!

I am using a Mac (all software latest version - Mt. Lion and Safari as web browser). I see this exact problem but NOT with all PDFs. As you might not know, PDF creation is built-into all Macs and I do NOT have a problem with any of those, nor has anyone complained to me about those. Also, Macs have a bulit-in PDF viewer ("Preview") which also can NOT view the file correctly. If I try to open the file once it has been stored on the desktop, Acrobat gives me an "incorrectly formatted PDF file" error.
My AMEX statement is unprintable and some other stuff that comes from our local school board, and other online sources. (My suspicion is that these files are not perfectly formatted).
Here was my work-around:
I use FIREFOX browser to retrieve the same PDF and it prints fine.
I, too, would LOVE to know why this is happening because it is annoying.

I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail. PDF attachments are included in the e-mail as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon. How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon. How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader. To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

When I try and install firefox it says that I do not have the correct privaliges- MAcBook Pro.

When I try to update Firefox, it says that I do not have the correct privileges.

You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
You can also do this:
Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I have Firefox 7.0.1 and it has no bookmark transfer feature that I can see. It used to have a Manage Bookmarks but that seems to have vanished. I am trying to transfer my bookmarks from my Imac to my Macbook Pr0 can you no longer do that?

hello,
It would be 'Bookmarks' > 'Show All Bookmarks' and in the window that appears there is an 'Import and Backup' menu on the top. Click that and then choose 'Export Bookmarks to HTML..'. Now on the other PC it would be the same procedure except for the last, where now you have to choose 'Import Bookmarks from HTML...'.

When I try to open firefox it says that it is not responding, after I disabled the adobe flash plug-in it worked, how do I get it to work with flash

Since I updated my adobe flash player firefox keeps saying that it is not responding after I open it and it loads my home page, I disabled add-ons and went throught the process of figuring out which one it was and it was adobe flash, but without flash I cant access a lot of different sites, how can I fix this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but neither works!

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

Try a reset Carole ...
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

How do I change authorization in adobe digital editions using windows vista

How do I change authorization in adobe digital editions using windows vista?
When I try ctrl alt delete, I get the blue windows log in sceen. How do I get past the log in screen to use the ctrl alt delete to change authorization for the adobe digital editions screen.

Adobe apps can be reset to their factory defaults by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, not Del. The rest doesn't really make any sense since you did not provide any details and authorizations can't be changed that way, anyway. If you want to transfer books to other devices you need to contact the vendors to release the DRM/ provide a new download and if you want to change the registered ID, you need to contact support or create a completely new account, which in turn will require you to buy your DRM managed books again/ get a new download as well.
