I am finding that when I click on a PDF it may open one day, but the next day it doesn't or vice versa

I am finding that opening pdf links tends to be spotty. Sometimes a link opens, but other times it doesn't. I know there's a lot of variables at play but was hoping someone might be able to provide some insight on how to resolve this, or at the very least improve performance so that the links open more reliably. Thanks!

csw-scotts:
Can you please check the saved preferences you have for handling pdf files:
links that are hosted online will open in the default pdf view.
Downloading and opening also is a set preference in this menu:
"3 bar" > Options/Preferences > Applications.
For more information, please check out: [[Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]

  • My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

    But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
    P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • TS3989 When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).  When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

    Hopefully someone can help me with my question.  When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).  When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

    When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).
    How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
    If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding;  try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it:    Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

  • I have  a POP mail account on my Ipad. After I trash emails, they sometimes reappear latter that same day or the next day. Why is that and what can I do?

    I have a POP mail account on my ipad. When I trash my emails, they reappear later that day or the next day. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what to do to stop it?  Thanks

    I have that every now and then, especially if I have an interruption when using emails, like network loss, etc.
    I think the email app loses track somehow of what emails it has fetched from the server and redownloads them.
    If this continues, you can try deleting the email account and recreating it, but I occasionally have had this issue since I got the iPad 1 a year ago.
    Note: My settings are Delete from server = Never.
    (I clear the server's email with my laptop, not my iPad.)

  • Can Firefox be set up so that when you click on a bookmark it automatically opens in a new window or tab?

    I don't have an issue with how the tabs work. But, the other user of my laptop can not distinguish between the concepts of "x" and "+" leading to constant frustration as he opens bookmarks over the tabs he wants left open.
    I thought it might help if a clicked bookmark opened automatically in a new tab or window rather having to click on the add a tab for a blank tab before opening a bookmark. But, I don't see how that could be set up, or if it can be, in the options menu.

  • How do I edit template modules?  When I click module it says I don't have any but the template has 3.

    I'm new to Business Catalyst.  My site is litigationstore01.businesscatalyst.com.   There are 3 modules in the template I'm using that lead to 3 different product pages.  I can't find the place to edit those modules.  When I click on modules in the left column a group of module templates comes up, but not a way to edit what is already there. What am I missing?

    Hey there,
    Those are not modules, they are are products through what I would guess is the featured product module. Depending on how this module is implemented it will be using it will be list or list backup.
    FTP wise it would be Layouts - OnlineShop - Product small and product small backup.

  • How do I make it the default that when I click on a link it will open in a new tab?

    Particularly when I am doing a Google search, but also when I am in a site, I find I frequently have to right click and force 'open in a new tab' to avoid the link overriding the current tab. I want to have all links I click on automatically open in a new tab. My settings are set to go to the new tab immediately - that works fine - but too often I have to immediately back-page and re-click using the right-click menu to avoid losing my search or origin page. This is annoying when there are several links I want to explore, and have to backtrack to get to them.
    Firefox is my default browser, 29.0.1 at the moment, and it runs on an old Dell laptop using WinXP. Before asking this I did check the available support info without finding an answer. I followed the instructions in the article about Google and the about:config but it did no good - it still defaults to opening in the current tab. It might seem like a small thing but in my search for answers I saw some folks who have the reverse problem - they want links to open in the same tab - so clearly it is a settings issue. How do I fine tune mine to get the result I prefer? Thanks!!

    Google search and other websites have a user preference that can be set to open a search result in a new tab or a new window, for users who are logged in to their website.
    Otherwise, when you don't have a 3-button mouse or a scroll pad with "middle-click" functionality, you can use '''{Ctrl + Click}''' to open a hyperlink in a new Tab.

  • Upgraded to 4 and have noticed that when switching from page to page you get an annoying blink before the next page displays. Any suggestions?

    When switching from tab to tab, Firefox 4 has a tendency to blink before displaying the new tab. Just a millisecond or so but can be annoying.

    If that doesn't work, try power cycling your router, printer, and your iPad/iPhone in that order. To do this, follow these steps:
    Unplug the router and printer from the power and shut off the i-devices. Let them sit for about 30 seconds and then plug just the router in.
    Once the router is completely back online (usually takes about 30-60 seconds) plug the printer in. Wait until it is back on its home screen.
    Turn the i-devices on.
    Try to print again.
    Let me know if this helps!

  • Is there a way to keep animated gifs moving when a page loads? At some point it just stops but the next page is still loading

    I am working on creating a website that has this "loading" image gif when I go to another page (php). Yes, ajax is cooler but i'm no expert and seo thing keeps me from using it thus i'd go for something this simple. I already tried and realized it works on chrome but not on firefox, what am I missing? Not even sure if this is the right place to ask

  • I pre-ordered Paramore's new album one day and the next day I received a $15 gift card for itunes and I redeemed it. My question is now that I have redeemed it will itunes take the price of the preordered album from my $15 or from my debit card?

    If not how can I make that happen? The Paramore pre-order is $9.99 and I want itunes to take the money from the gift card and not my bank account. The charge won't happen until the 9th, when it is released.

    I'm kind of running into the same problem with a TV season I bought. I have watched the first 4 episodes just fine but now a new episode is available and it wants me to pay for it. Even though I have already paid for it when I bought the complete season.
    I think they are mucking around in the servers and causing this issue. I have reported the problem through iTunes and I hope they get it fixed soon.
    EDIT: I just want to add that I didn't know AC/DC's new album was out, I'll have to go buy it. Thanks for the heads up on that.

  • HT1414 HELLO. MY NAME IS ELSAMI SANTOS FLORES. I UPDATED THE IOS7 TO MY IPAD LAST THURSDAY. EVERYTHING WENT FINE, BUT THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TURNED ON THE iPAD ASKED ME FOR THE PASSCODE NUMBER I ENTERED IT BUT DID NOT RECOGNIZE IT. THE MESSAGE GAVE ME WAS iP

  • Just learning my track pad; viewed tutorial; when I click a link, message comes up,"open in new window," etc. How to stop messages?

    I'm just learning how to use my Track Pad on my MacBook Pro, running iOS 10.9.4. I viewed the tutorial, which helped a lot , but still, when I click a link at odd times (I haven't figured out what triggers it yet) a small window with options such as, 'open in new window' opens up. It doesn't happen all the time. I just want the link to  click through without having to  deal with the message. When I click it several times, I may finally get it so the link just opens. How can I avoid those messages?
