Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • Preview can't open with the first click on a .pdf file

    My preview has been acting up. When I double click on a .pdf file Preview starts up but the contents of the file are not displayed. Then when I double click on the file icon again, the file gets opened. Some files never open, but when I restart Preview they open (in the same way as above).
    Also, when I select some of the menu items from Preview nothing happens (such as "About Preview".
    I reloaded all of OSX 10.4.4, no change, fixed permissions, no change,
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Artur

    I did an "archive and keep settings" reinstall, so that I wouldn't lose all my info. Calculating how much time it would be to get back everything I had (configs, files, programs...) I would rather have a bad Preview than go through an erase and install...

  • How to gather several scanned file type document into one pdf file?

    I don't know if I make myself clear...
    anyway, thank you in advace for your answers!

    Hi, leya.
    I presume the scanned documents have been saved as individual PDFs.
    To combine PDFs:
    • If you have Adobe Acrobat, either Standard or Professional Edition, you can combine PDFs by opening one of the PDFs and then using Document > Insert Pages to add additional PDFs to the first you have opened, then save the combined PDF either replacing the first PDF or using File > Save As... to save the combined PDF with a different file name.
    • If you do not have Acrobat, you can download and use any of the these third-party tools. In particular, Combine PDFs is both freeware, popular, and highly rated.
    Good luck!

  • Can't open downloaded files

    Help! I can't open downloads from the internet or e-mail in preview. It seems to be happening with both pdfs and jpegs. It just started yesterday, and I'm not sure why. It gives me a message stating that the file may be corrupted or the wrong file type. The file type is not wrong, and it says this for files from any source even trusted ones. Any help is much appreciated!!

    HI,
    Assuming you are using Safari... try maintenance.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons then cick Reset.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty Cache.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
    • Downloads.plist
    • History.plist
    • LastSession.plist
    Restart Safari.

  • Can not open downloaded files

    when I download a file that is not a pdf file and try to open it firefox states that the file is not pdf file and tells me that it can not process it. you treat every downloaded file as if it were a pdf file regardless of what type it is.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    I tried every fix I could find on this forum and others:<br />
    Disabling both the Acrobat NPAPI Plugin and the Acrobat Reader Plugin<br />
    delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.<br />
    installing another PDF reader plug-in<br />
    Cleared download history<br />
    Reset Firefox<br />
    Checked status of Download Folder - no 'user set' values<br />
    Reinstalled Firefox<br />
    Fixed all Mac Permissions<br />
    Still same thing PDF tries to open in a new tab - I just get a blank window… even when my PDF Preferences are set for the pop-up dialogue to show so I can choose whether to save, open or view.<br />
    AND my Firefox preferences are set for viewing in Acrobat Pro X (this was how I had it set up before the update and had no problems - all PDFs opened in this application. (my preferred)
    I am stumped. Anyone have any fresh ideas? HELP!! :) Thank you

    The Adobe Reader plugin may not be working properly on Mac.
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox
    Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader

    I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07.  When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Hello; I am using Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436). I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade at one point. Now can't open existing documents. Message "The index.xml file is missing".

    Hello; I am using Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436). I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade at one point. Now can't open existing documents. Message "The index.xml file is missing". How can I correct this ?
    Thank you
    Tom

    I't not iWeb that got damaged but the domain file. The index.xml file is inside the domain.sites file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Do you have a backup of that file you can revert to?  If so then do it.  Otherwise a long shot but try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad

    Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad Brooks i was reading some days ago.

    You can't - ibooks from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple haven't so far made a Mac or PC reader for them
    If you don't have one of those iOS devices, then though all purchases are considered final, you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    You need to buy each song. iTunes doesn't offer a subscription service.

    My case is little different than what you said above. When I click the Download Fold that is in the dock, it just pops up a blank window. Then even I click the Finder in dock, it pops up blank window as well. However I still can open Finder with "Conmand + N". I clicked Download Folder the one in the home folder, it does not respond.
    Just let you know I am using Lion os x, the folders in the home folder can not be modified and deleted.
    I tried using spotlight to open it, but it still doesn't work.
