Firefox will not download journal articles (PDFs) from PubMed. Why? Internet Explorer will download them.

I go to the USC e-journals, as I have done with Firefox for years. Now, when I find a journal article that I want and try to download it, nothing happens. I get a blank screen.
If I use Internet Explorer, I can download the article (PDF) and print and save it.
What do I need to do in Firefox to fix the problem. When I first uploaded the newest Firefox I did not have this problem.

Hi Joe, some other users have reported that the Real Downloader is not working in Firefox 22. If you have updated it and it still doesn't work, you might consider using a different downloader. I don't have any personal recommendations on that, but you can check out the reviews on the add-ons site:

  • Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

    Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.

    Hello John.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin 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?

  • All of a sudden some of my sites have stopped working properly on Firefox and I have had to (reluctantly) go back to Internet Explorer to get them to work properly. Why??? Please help because I always prefer Firefox in all internet stuff

    The problem sites have always worked properly on Mozilla Firefox until 2 of them stopped giving full access. I reverted to (yuk) Internet Explorer to see if the problem was still there, but, surprisingly I had full access with both programes. I repeated the attempts a couple of times in Firefox but now have to use IE when I require proper access.
    Is the problem in a setting somewhere??
    Please help because I HATE IE
    Thanks & Regards

  • Firefox could not download the search plugin from

    I have installed Firefox 24.0 recently and I am trying to install youtube Search Engine by opening www.youtube.com and clicking the Add "YouTube Video Search" in the search toolbar , but I get the following error message:
    Download Error
    Firefox could not download the search plugin from:
    http://www.youtube.com/opensearch?locale=en_GB
    Is it a Firefox problem, or a youtube error?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I don't want to install addon for youtube search. I just wanted to know if I can install the youtube search engine as before.
    After some reading on the internet I found that search engine is described by a small XML file that is available through a link on the page. All other pages with working search engines like Wikipedia or IMDb generates XML content or refers to XML file. But the link of youtube opensearch descriptor points to an opensearch.osdx file.
    I don't know if it is the extension, or if there is unsupported tag in it but Firefox is not willing to handle it and add youtube to the search engines.
    I found this page: http://www.tobtu.com/customsearch.php I copied the relevant tags to the input fields and added YouTube Video Srearch. Now it works fine.
    But the question remains: is it Firefox that cannot handle youtube's sandard opensearch descriptor or is it youtube.com that provides a faulty descriptor?

    Uninstall the Inbox Toolbar, following steps here:

    Then retry opening Firefox.
    You can also try opening Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (use Continue in Safe Mode first).
    If that works, reopen Firefox Safe Mode, but use the dialog option to '''Restore default search engines''' as shown at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window and press the '''Make changes and restart''' button.

  • For some reason Firefox is not opening up any pdf files, do you have any suggestions on how to current this problem.

    When I go to a website and they have a pdf file to download, Firefox will not open it. I have to go Internet Explorer to open the pdf file. Do you have any suggestions because I prefer to use Firefox.

    You may have ad / mar-ware changing your settings.
    First, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware Troubleshoot Firefox Issues Caused By Malware]''' {web link}
    Bookmark and use this;
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Mozilla Search Reset]''' {web link}
    This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and
    then resets your search preferences and home page to their
    default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the
    search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

  • Firefox could not install the search plugin from "chrome://tnt2toolbar/content/yos.xml" because an engine with the same name already exists.

    each time I open Fire Fox I get this error "Firefox could not install the search plugin from "chrome://tnt2toolbar/content/yos.xml" because an engine with the same name already exists." and
    I can't search for anything. HELP!!!
    Thanks
    Tom

    That is a problem with an extension that tries to install a search bar. The tnt2toolbar should give you a clue about which extension. You didn't add troubleshooting information with the list of installed extensions, so I can't give a suggestion about which extension is causing this.
    You can check for problems with preferences.<br />
    Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • Elements 11 finds photos but says it can not download them

    Photoshop Elements 11 downloaded most of my photos, but there are 167 left that it has not.  It gave me a message that said it could not download them because either my battery was load or that the camera was not securely connected.  I tried changing the battery and check the connections, even used a different USB drive on my computer and still get the same message.  Now originally a program on my computer called Panasonic Fun Photo (or something like that) popped up when I started to download from the camera, and I tried to close it.  I had some message come up the second time I tried to download to Photoshop that there was a movie it was trying to download and got stuck at 4%.  There is no movie on the camera.  I went through all 406 pictures and can't figure out why this came up.  I uninstlled the Panasonic program because I thought it might be interfering, but still can not get the 167 pictures that Adobe Photoshop finds but says it can not download.  What do I do?

  • Did Adobe Acrobat/reader stop providing browser integrated PDF viewing(addin) for Internet Explorer?

    Did Adobe acrobat and reader stop providing browser integrated PDF viewing capability for Internet Explorer?
    Hi, I have been trying to view PDF's directly on my browser (Internet Explorer 9). We used to be able to have this available. To be honest last configuration that did work was Internet Explorer 8 with Adobe Acrobat 7. But I recently tried with Intenet Explorer 9 with Adobe Acrobat X and did not work as expected (I tried to activate the add in for Adobe but the adobe addin for PDF did not show up) I have the following questions:
    1) Do you still provide PDF's viewing capabilties on Internet Explorer?
    2) If yes: Is there a propper Add-in we (users) are able to install for Internet Explorer?
    3) if yes: Do we require to have Adobe Acrobat to have this capability? (this was my experience with IE8 and Adobe Acrobat 7)
    Additional Info:
    There seems to be an addin for Chrome wich works as expected (opens PDF in browser) to this current date. This does not happen on IE.
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you using the 64-bit edition of Internet Explorer?
    The Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugin is 32-bit, and will not work on a 64-bit browser.
