Firefox does not open PDF file. IE can open the file.

I am on a National Parks Service site and want to open a brochure. It is a PDF file. When I select the file nothing happens. If I open it in a new tab I get a blank screen. The site is good because I can open it with IE.

In firefox: Tools -> Options -> Applications->PDF Document...Select: Use Acrobat Reader & press OK
it opens in adobe acrobat reader in main application, not in browser... This is my preffered action :)
That is it ;)

  • Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

    Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

    No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
    I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
    To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

  • Acrobat X doing PS to PDF conversion and can view the PDF file in the Lower version?

    Hi,
    I am converting the Postscript file to PDF file using Acrobat X, but the end user is having the Acrobat older version. Can we use the lower Acrobat version for the viewing? Also it's under EULA?
    Thanks for looking into this.
    Thanks,
    KSK

    If you make PDF 1.7, Acrobat 6 and later can handle the file.
    If you make PDF 1.6, Acrobat 5 and later can handle the file.
    A little more on EULA: this is not official, but I have seen a lot of discussion in these forums about it. It seems to be that you cannot use Acrobat (or Distiller from Acrobat) as a server process, automating creation of PDF for others without the control of an individual even on a desktop.
    So, if these PostScript files are made by an individual who runs Distiller, this is fine.
    If the individual puts files from anywhere into Distiller that is fine.
    It is not fine if PostScript files are delivered from somewhere else and automatically processed.
    It is not fine if PostScript files are made automatically on this machine and automatically delivered to the file server for others to read.
    Distiller is for making files for its licensed user to read, or to share themselves manually.

  • Firefox does not come up when I double click the icon, why not?

    I upgraded Adobe but Firefox did not come up afterward. I uninstalled the upgrade but still can't get Firefox. On Start I get an MSN page without a toolbar or any other way to get to anywhere else. I have to close the window and am back at Desktop. Windows Explorer is working, going to wedsites, etc.

    What version iOS have you got ? If you are still on the orginal iOS 3 version then you won't get the taskbar.

  • Firefox does not download pdf files properly

    On my progressive website, when I try to view pdf documents, I click the document, nothing happens, but the file is downloaded into downloads. However, the file is downloaded as (example) test.pdf.part?
    This website works flawlessly using the fault android web browser, and I can see in the notifications that the file is being downloaded. Subsequently clicking it and opening the file in Adobe.
    Firefox had updated at least 4 times since I reported this issue Terry is still broken
    Please don't all for the link to the problem because you can't get there without logging into my account with progressive. The site works, it is Firefox that's still broken.

    Hello.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
    And yes, that applies to Adobe Reader plugin too. This isn't a bug with Firefox.

  • Certain games in facebook on firefox does not upload whole page what can I do

    When playing games on facebook, some of the games pages don't load all the way so I can, not able to click or move page to be able to click on items needed. I used to be able to do this and within the last week I can no longer get the pages to load correctly. I have tried everything. but nothing has helped. Please help as I would rather use firefox

    this may happen when you encounter a firefox auto-update after a restart of your firefox.exe. 2 ways to solve, 1st, remove the firefox for now, go mozilla official download a completely new install pack of firefox 4, and install it. 2nd, wait wait and wait, use an alternative(maybe google chrome 10.x), during waiting for the firefox.exe responding. good luck of you.

  • How to import iDVD app from Time Capsule to my new iMac 21" that does not have iDVD?  I can find the iDVD app in the Time Capsule, then what?

    You are probably better to install it from ilife disk.

  • Though I have connected my receiver using thunderbolt cable/hdmi it does not emit sound, but i can see the display

    My imac does not detect the thunderbolt. so cannot select external speakers though I have connected the mac using thunderbolt to hdmi. cannot receive sound but video is seen.

    I have one thunderbolt port and one mini display port.
    No Mac has both Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPort.  They are both Thunderbolt.  A Mini Disp;layPort cable or adapter will work in a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port.
    A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable or adapter can handle both audio and video, but some older ones are video only.
    You may have a broken audio wire in your cable.  Try a new cable or Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.  Make sure it says it will handle both audio and video.

    Hello Bmac4426,

  • I have copied my iTunes library to my time capsule. I am trying to point the iTunes to use the file within the time capsule but it does not show up. However I see the file when i open it thought the finder. Please assist.

    Hi,
    I will apprecite your help.
    I find the copied file to time capsule though finder bt not when I open the pointer.
    can anyone help?
    Regards

    No I have not watched a video to move iTunes.
    You are trying to convince me that the video is correct.. but you are having issues..
    I tend to consider Apple's documentation superior .. not that they always get it right.
    If it doesn't work we need more info.
    Is this Mavericks?
    Is the youtube video using Mavericks.. ?? If not then I suspect your problem is due to poor networking in Mavericks.
    Ensure you follow the rules for SMB networking..
    All names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Try manually mounting the hard disk in Finder via Go, Connect to Server.. make sure the TC is mounted before you try to connect to the library.
    You will have constant problems because the TC is unsuitable for iTunes.

  • Firefox does not respond when trying to upload photos or files to Facebook, Google+, or similar sites.

    When trying to upload photos to various websites, Firefox brings up the pop up to view and select locations on your computer, but it never fully loads, it just kinda freezes, never allowing you to select files. I eventually get a 'This program is not responding' message and have to force close.

    Second times a charm!!!
    Maybe the link I had 1st time had a bug or something... I had installed it, restarted computer and all, exactly same process... and it had done nothing.
    But download page wasn't the same. Real weird.
    Good thing is, now it works!
    So to anyone who has had same problem, tried the "patch download" solution and didn't have any success (like me previously - which is why I posted)... TRY AGAIN! The link above works!
    Thanks

  • New safari update (5.1.2) for windows does not load any webpage. i can open safari but nothing happens.

    why wont it load?

    Try this:
    Bring up the Windows Task Manager.
    Look for a process called: "WebKit2WebProcess.exe" and there may be a *32 after the name.
    Now Look for a "Safari" process, there may be multiple instances, but the primary instance will be identified by the significantly more memory that it uses.
    Kill both processes.
    The Kill order may be important.
    If the WebKit process is running alone kill that first, and try to relaunch Safari.
    If a Safari process(s) is running, Kill the primary instance, The WebKit process should also go away but if not Kill WebKit too.
    It may take more that one launch attempt to clear the memory.
    Further,, you will likely have to do this at each Safari launch because these processes become unstable after short use - until Apple fixes this bug.

    Ps: I have no issues what so ever on Lion, just Windows 7

  • Firefox does not show numbers in arabic format when the windows regional settings is set to arabic, instead it shows numbers in latin characters

    when switching windows regional settings to Arabic, numbers are still shown in Latin characters, unlike other browsers (ex IE).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == all firefox versions

    See "bidi.numeral" in http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries#Bidi.
    See also http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.2/source/modules/libpref/src/init/all.js#1058
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • It is disappointing that Firefox does not have an add-on to support the Google toolbar, American Express toolbar and the United Shopping Mile Toolbar. Without this functionality, internet explorer becomes a better option.

    This incompatibility occurred with the upgrade to Firefox 5.0. While instability was a problem with the earlier version of Firefox, at least I could use the previously mentioned toolbars.

    The GTB '''7.1.20110512W''' version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about the GTB this morning. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    For the others, check for an updated version of those toolbars from wherever you got them from originally.
