Firefox doesn't include PDF extension when saving pdf doc

Problem .. FireFox strips PDF file extension from file name when application option "Portable Document Format (PDF)" is set to "Save File" and when downloading a Fidelity Investment's statement or trade confirmation pdf document.
When I attempt to download and save without previewing a PDF doc on Fidelity Investment website, Firefox does not save the file with the PDF extension. Which results in the file loosing its association with its appropriate viewing app.
However if the firefox \tools\options\applications\"Portable Document Format (PDF)" is changed to either "Always Ask" or "Preview in Firefox" the problem doesn't occur.
Or if the user right clicks the PDF link on the source html page and selects "save link as" the dialog box will ask to save the doc as a PDF and correctly add the PDF extension to the saved file name.
This problem occurs with firefox 28.0 for windows and firefox 28.01 for android.
The problem doesn't appear to occur with chrome or IE. However they don't offer a means to do a single click save.

Yes I noted that method works already..
I was trying to get the "single click save" to function as designed.

my mozilla firefox doesn't work when i want to open it , window comes that is user account something say do you want to allow and if i want to uninstall the firefox it doesn't uninstall.

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' (Navigatiegeschiedenis) when you close Firefox.

Firefox doesn't delete my cookies when I clear all history.

When I go to options and clear all history (everything, all boxes checked), firefox does not delete my cookies because I am still logged into accounts. Not too sure about deleting all my history and cache either.
Is there a setting I am missing that bypasses certain accounts from getting deleted?

Is this about "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cookies when you close Firefox?
If you leave tabs open when you exit Firefox then Firefox stores the cookies in sessionstore.js as part of the session data.
You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar

Saving attachments on Snow leopard mail loses file extension when saving over an existing document

Saving attachments on Snow leopard mail loses the file extension when clicking on an existing file to copy the name. Is there something I can switch on in the preferences to fix this?

I work for a publishing company where our clients send their copy to us in Word documents. We might have several versions sent to us before the final version comes in.
It is instances like this where we want to overwrite a document on the server with the most up-to-date version (which is usually named differently to the original file). We really don't want to clutter the folder with lots of different revisions. The quick way to do this is to click on the document we are replacing (this copies the document name). Previous versions of OSX Mail used to keep the file extension but Snow Leopard seems to remove it.
It's annoying as there is no particular logic to this. We just have to manually type ".doc" at the end of the document.
Incidentally, this happens with any attachment file type.

Firefox is deleting my development extensions when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work

I am developing Firefox addons. Ever since the update to 18.0 Firefox is deleting my development extensions/folders from the profile folder when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work!

It seems to have stopped not sure if it was a version update or disabling Windows EFS encryption of the profile folders. I have noticed EFS seems to cause issues in general.

Getting Runtime error while including pdf doc with Form guides.

Hi,
I have urgent requirement where I have to capture the data in the PDF doc   what user enters into the form Guides.
I am trying this on ES2.
I followed the steps what they mentioned at :: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm - >>Creating Guides using LiveCycle Workbench ES2 -> Including the PDF doc with a document.
They mentioned that we have to create form design (pdf) with same data model.. But When i tries to create form design by including the data model .. it is not allowing to me save as pdf and its telling that we have to save as xdp only.   So saved as xdp only and followd all the same steps what they mentioned .. but we are getting error like :::
2010-01-07 17:13:08,227 ERROR [com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.invoker.WorkflowDSCInvoker] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.repository.ResourceNotFoundException message: ALC-REP-018-000: Resource

Please find my form guide setting to invoke my REST URL.. and my process.
please help me in this regard ,,,,,

Hi Han,
The problem might be in path of the resources. Please check the path for the pdf you includes at form guide.
Please check concat( ) operation .. make sure that it is correct and pointing as per your work bench.
And
At Configuring the REST endpoint for the PDF render service:,   6th point , please select   as System level rather than INVOKE_PERM.
I hope it helps.
Thanks
Praveen.

Filename Extensions When Saving

I recently had a system crash requiring that I start over from scratch. I was on 10.8.2 before the crash, and am on 10.8.2 after restoration.
Prior to the crash, when I saved a document the Save dialog included a check box at the lower left that read "Hid File Extension." Checking this box, of course, hid the filename extension while unchecking it added the extension (naturally).
After restoration, when I save files, that box is no longer there. The filename will only save with our without the extension depending on how the Finder setting for extensions (Finder > Preferences > Advanced) is set.
I want my files to show extensions, but not my applications. The Finder preference is unchecked which leaves old files alone (Get Info > Name & Extension > Hide extension is unchecked in the old files), but new files won't show an extension, and without the check box in the Save dialog, I can't easily add one.
How do I get that check box back?
Thanks!

Are you looking at the expanded Save dialog? Click the triangle button next to the file name entry box.

Firefox doesn't display PDFs in browser all of a sudden

I noticed earlier that all of a sudden I can't view PDFs files in Firefox. I tried plugins, updating Firefox and everything on my Mac, and any other options I could find but nothing seems to work. I installed the recommended plugin for viewing pdfs, but it just views a blank white page (instead of "missing plugin" that, when clicked, didn't give me any information).

Remove all other plugins you have installed for viewing PDFs and install [https://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html Adobe reader]

If my computer gets unexpectedly shutdown then why on restarting computer firefox keeps me logged in even when saving password is disabled ?

my computer gets unexpectedly shutdown while i was logged in my gmail and facebook account and when restarted my system and opened facebook and gmail ,i found that i was logged in.This is when i have unchecked ''''''password remember'''''' option and '''keep me logged in''' option .How to solve it ?

You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
You can change the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

Need help trying to "include Vector Data" when saving as an EPS? Anyone?

Although I have done this many times before, I cannot seem to figure out why the check box "include vector data" is greyed out. I am working in CMYK - I have placed my corporate logo as a smart object as usual - and none of my layers have effects applied. Scratching my head right now. This is a large format poster so I will definately need to resolve this somehow. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Mike Ornellas wrote:
You have to have a layer with a vector mask applied to it for the feature to show up.
Or live text or a clipping path.
Copy the logo from Illustrator to Photoshop. When asked, say you want a Shape Layer (I forget the exact wording). If the logo must be more than one colour, duplicate the layer for each additional colour and, on each layer, delete all path segments that are not needed for that particular colour. Group the layers in a folder for easy moving and scaling.
And why are you using EPS format? Is there a reason you aren't using the far superior in every way Photoshop PDF format?

Bad hyperlinks when saving Pages doc as PDF

I produce a little monthly newsletter for a local Mac club. We do the layout in pages. I write the article another member lays them out in Pages. A couple others proof.
We've been having a problem that is driving me crazy in Pages 09. We use Print, then save as PDF, so we can get a format that everyone can read. Almost always when we do this, links that worked fine in the Pages document convert to an address that no longer works (usually something on the creator's computer that he has placed in the document). I'm saying almost all links (but not quite all) in the entire document end up with this same bad address in the final Adobe PDF version.
The only way we have found to fix this is by abandoning the entire hyperlinks system and typing out http://www.blah.blah in our text, which feels extremely early Internet and not the type of polished production we're aiming for.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem or how to fix it? I've gone in one of our documents, completely removed the link, and then replaced it. It still has the same address to something on my colleague's computer. It's just crazy. This is a nasty, nasty bug.
Thanks in advance for any clues.

I assume that this post is related to Gene Madill's a couple of hours ago. Is that so? I'm thinking that someone in the chain of custody has a machine that has an OS corruption. Possibly a system not properly updated to the latest version of Snow Leopard.
There have been a couple of bugs in incremental Snow Leopard updates. One at 10.6.2 and another at 10.6.7.
Are you up to speed on these issues? Are all of you up to date and clean?

My firefox doesn't upload pdf files. It only opens a window with the link and a white or black page...

Installed firefox a few days ago.
Have Adobe Acrobat program.

Check your downloads ("Ctrl+J").
A PDF will be downloaded whether you choose to view in Firefox or choose to view outside of Firefox for more control. A tab would be created with no content if you had it open in a new tab and is not read in Firefox.
The following may be of interest to you but it is geared to use of the (Free) Adobe Reader.

Since the Apple Java update of 4/6 and/or 4/12, Firefox doesn't load PDFs or download them (Safari works fine). Tried listed solns: no help. Ideas?

I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Power Mac. The Apple Java updates of 4/6 and 4/12 were released to counter the Flashback trojan - I installed each. The patch implied Java should be disabled - I allowed this. Javascript was NOT disabled. I later re-enabled Java using the "Java Preferences" application in /Applications/Utilities.
I tried the instructions I could find on the FF site to correct this, but with no good results. Among the things was resetting the download folder.
