How do I open .dll files automatically with Adobe Reader through Firefox?

Hi,
When I print eBay labels through Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to open automatically in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change options to show "all files", and then locate the .dll file and open it.
When I try to change the default application in Firefox preferences, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".
Is there a way to have Firefox automatically open .dll files with Adobe Reader?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
Steve

That worked, thank you!
I quit out of Firefox, renamed the file like you said, restarted my computer, and restarted Firefox.
When I went to download a label, Firefox asked me which application to use, and I picked Adobe Reader. I also checked the box to make that the default. This automatically opened the file in AR, and then when I did it the next time it worked perfectly.
Again, thank you so much for your help with this - although it's just a bit of time here and there saved it really adds up!
Take care!
-Steve

    How do I open a file on my iPad that needs adobe reader.

    Safari and the Mail app support PDFs - tap on them and they should open. If you want to store them on the iPad then there are a number of apps that support them and which you can sync them to or use 'open in' on Safari or Mail to copy them to e.g. free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader

  • E-mail program won't open PDF attachments automatically with Adobe Reader

    When I get e-mail with PDF attachment I get a message saying I must open only from trustworthy source.  Then I click it open, but it won't open.  So I click save, and it is saved to desktop where I can then open it with Adobe Reader.  I prefer that Outlook automatically opens it with Adobe Reader when I click it just once.  I have updated Adobe Reader from 9.0 to 9.3.2, and it still won't work,

    I have had the exact same problem, i use windows mail because my computer was unable to run outlook for a reason i can't remember and this is dead-set exactly the process i go through constantly. I have unistalled/reinstalled adobe multiple times.

  • Firefox is unable to open pdf files even with adobe reader

    i am unable to open pdf documents with firefox . i have installed latest version of adobe reader for firefox but still i am having problem. older versions of mozilla do not have this problem

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] If it functions correctly, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Unable to open files associated with Adobe Reader - program goes into a loop

    i am unable to open any file associated with adobe reader or adobe pro.  when i double-click the file, adobe reader opens up but it goes into a loop. 
    adobe reader opens, then a progress window opens, as if the file will open but adobe closes and opens again and the same cycle repeats itself until i manually close the program.
    any advice?
    update:
    i can open regular .PDF files when i double-click the icon and i can also open .PDF files when i open adobe reader first and then choose open file.  it's just the .FDF files that are the problem (so far).
    the file in question happens to be an .FDF extension, which is an internet generated form. i attached a screen shot of the screen that pops up, goes away, and pops up again that creates the loop.
    the white out section is the server name where the file was saved to.  but i also get the same symptoms when i am in internet explorer, hit the generate form button.

    hey ankit,
    sorry i didn't see a notification that you replied to this discussion.
    "1. Generate a new PDF and a FDF file. Try opening the same and see if it behaves the same way."
    yes, it does behave the same way, it's just a continuous loop until i have to kill the process.
    "2. Check if you have access to the PDF that is being used by the particular FDF."
    by this do you mean the correct permissions?  if that is what you mean, then yes, the permissions are set correctly.
    "3. If possible, please send me the FDF and the associated PDF that is behaving in this way on your system."
    i really wish i could but the information in the form is sensitive and cannot be sent. 
    as an update though, i reimaged the customer's workstation, installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1 and it worked perfectly (finally).  HOWEVER, after about two weeks the same symptoms returned!

    Hyperlinks can be of several types. What are you linking to? Exactly what
    application did you test the hyperlinks with on the Mac? What application
    did you use to create the hyperlinks?

  • How do I open a web page in Adobe Reader from ipad2?  I don't see any buttons to click. I'm new user

    How do I open  a web page in Adobe Reader? I got the app for ipad2, but when a page says I need a certain version of AR, I don't know what to do. I'm a new user and don't know if I have to "open" AR and it automatically reads whatever doc I have up on the web, or is it always running and any web page I'm on should show a button to click in order to open the page in AR?

    If a website says that you need a certain version of Adobe Reader, it is probably attempting to detect whether or not you have the Adobe Reader browser plugin installed. This is something that only works on desktop systems where browser plugins exist. Since browser plugins don't exist on mobile, website developers should take care to present different messages and provide different options for downloading PDF's when visited by mobile browsers. I recommend contacting the website owner and requesting that they implement access for mobile devices.

    May seem like an obvious question but, did you install it after you downloaded it?
    If so, how are you trying to open these files and what happens when you try?

  • HT202879 How can I open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09)?

    I need to open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09).  How can I do this?  I only have iworks Pages free with Mac Book Pro.

    You need either Pages '09 or the original Pages '08? programs.
    With Pages '09 you simply open it and it accurate converts it to Pages '09. Pages 5 will open the Pages '09 version but may alter/damage the file.
    With Pages '08 you Export it to Word .doc/.docx with mixed results, then open that in Pages 5 which may alter/damage the file.
