I can't open a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
* Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
*[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

  • No sound.  Mute is not checked, volume all the way up on iTunes and on status bar.  What am I doing wrong or missing?  I restarted last night and it worked before that but not since, any one have any ideas?

    Thanks, Rob

    First off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
    Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
    Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left.

    According to a random website... the HTC Wildfire S uses a Qualcomm MSM7225 processor. This processor unfortunately does not support the full ARM version 7 instruction set, so Firefox cannot run on it.

  • Why can't I download the add-on for tv-fox I got the following when I tried: TV-Fox could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 6.0.2

    I installed FireFox so I could take advantage of the TV-Fox add-on which is supposed to provide free television, so I can cancel my cable. But, as stated above, I got the following when I tried:
    TV-Fox could not be installed because it is not

  • I tried to install Selenium IDE and got message "Selenium IDE Java formatter could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 5.0". How can I uninstall Firefox 5.0 and roll back to a version that works with Selenium IDE? - 22 Jun-2011

    You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

  • I need to silently upgrade from 3.5 to 7 but get an error message after 7 install. Platform version 7.0 is not compatible with minVersion = 1.9.1

    I'm trying to silently upgrade my environment to FF 7. I've gotten the silent install working great, it puts in my Proxy Server info, reassigns the home page and all that. But, the last version we pushed out was FF 3.5. If a user had that on their PC and they run the FF7 install, they get weird messages when clicking on the icon.
    XULRunner: Error: Platform version '7.0' is not compatible with minVersion >= 1.9.1 maxVersion <=1.9.1
    Another message they get is:
    AutoConfigAlert:
    Netscape.cfg/AutoConfig failed. Error: pref failed: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.setBoolPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: prefcalls.js :: pref :: line 70" data: no]
    This is on Windows XP

    Do you have other virtualization or security software that might protect .ini and possibly other files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and prevent Firefox from updating them properly?
    You need to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I need a prior version of firefox...version 1.5 because my payroll department software is not compatible with firefox 6.0... how do I get the other - older - version ??

    my payroll department uses eSAP payroll program. It is NOT compatible with your new version...6.0. I need your older version 1.5 so i can access my payroll records. I am currently being forced to use Internet Explorer and I absolutely HATE that software.
    please help !!! How do I get the older version? Version 1.5 - thank you.

    I would hope the problem is that Firefox 5 is not compatible with some of McAfee's additional add-ons. It will be rather worrying if it has a problem with the McAfee security programs themselves. Please state exactly which software and version you are having problems with.
    There are known issues with McAfee's Site Advisor [/questions/839953#answer-205178] but it is hoped McAfee will solve that in a few weeks.

  • How can I download my iTunes library from my old Mac to my new iPhone 5 without being able to use iMatch. iMatch is not compatible with my old Mac that runs on 10.5.1

    Just got an iPhone 5, and learned that the 100 or more CDs that I had uploaded to iTunes on my older Mac cannot be downloaded to my new phone using iCloud/iMatch. I match is not compatible with the older operating systems. I spoke to a Apple genius, and he said that there is software out there that will do the job. Is anyone familiar with any of these? Frustrated, and need help.

    I regret to say that you need a new computer. That G5, as good as it still is, simply cannot run the required software to be used with the latest iPhones and other software.

    I think I found a Windows setting that is causing the issue. I'm using
    my LCD HDTV as the monitor for this computer, and in order to see the display easily, I have the following setting in Windows 7: Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Make text and other items larger or smaller > 150%.
    When I change this to the default of 100%, the problems with Reader X in Firefox and IE disappear. Reader 9, however, works perfectly at 100% and 150%.
    Is this a known bug in Reader X? Since the problem only appeared when moving from Reader 9 to Reader X, it seems it's not an unsolveable incompatability or something that's too difficult to work around.
    Do any others with their displays magnified have this problem? Or does it work perfectly? Would anyone (preferably with Windows 7 64-bit) be willing to set their display magnification to 150% and see if they can replicate the problem?

  • How can I fix a website that's not compatible with Firefox?

    I work with a website (www.cumctopeka.org) which seems to have compatibility issues with Firefox. I upload audio files through the program FileZilla, and through the website designer Bridge Element (www.bridgeelement.com). Recently the problem has occurred that when audio files are uploaded, they are played as video files through Firefox. Internet Explorer is able to play the files, but not Firefox. I've contacted Bridge Element's tech support several times and they finally said it was a Codec issue with Firefox and some Windows OS. I've personally been able to use Firefox on cumctopeka.org on a Windows 8 and everything works as it should, but then another WIndows 8 laptop will have issues.
    The audio files can be found here: http://cumctopeka.org/~cumctope/sermon-series.php
    Any help available...?

    I think this is normal, actually. When you load an MP3 "full tab" with the content type audio/mpeg Firefox does use the "video" tag. I think this is left over from a time when there were some limits on the controls of the audio tag.
    Anyway, if you want more control over the choice and appearance of the player, you would need to embed a player in your list page.

  • Whenever I try to open Firefox the following window pops up: XUL Runner/ Error/ Platfor Version "5.0" is not compatible with/ minVersion =5.0.1/ maxVersion =5.0.1/ OK(button) What do I do to get Firefox to work again?

    I have been using Firefox for quite some time (years). It tried to upgrade Firefox and since then have not been able to get it to open, each time it comes up with that popup window, with my only option being to click on the OK button, which terminates the operation.

    The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
    Do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
