I cannot download .pdf files with the new version of Firefox

Using Firefox 1.5, .pdf files automatically download to my desktop. With Firefox 3.6.13 a new tab/window opens and a box where the document should appear remains blank. When I attempt to 'right' click on the link, it doesn't allow me to download the linked file, only the linked address. I am able to open the .pdf files using another web browser such as Sarfari

The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.

HT1750 unable to download pdf files with the new lion instillation

I am unable to download pdf files after installing lion.

I have an imac purchased 4/2010 and same thing happened to me but can't find anyone to address it. The real tragedy here is that I paid for the full adobe creative suite, web premium back in 2010 and Adobe Pro can't open them, although it worked just fine before. Then I installed the latest version of Adobe reader and tried changing that to my default and that doesn't work either.
It's pretty lame that I have to go on my boyfriends windows pc to open and print a .pdf as the only alternative. I did not read about this when researching whether or not to upgrade to lion from snow leopard otherwise I would not have kept the old operating system.
Why isn't apple addressing this???

I cannot bring up roboform with the new version of firefox. When will I be able to add on foroform?

I got the message that the roboform add on is not compatible and that upsets me as I have come to depend on robofrom. Please expedite the compatibility issue or I go back to Internet Explorer.

Norton has had updates available on the same day that Firefox 5, 6, & 7 were released.
A Norton compatibility patch for Firefox 7.0 is available as of 09-27-2011.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?

Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

The "Organize Bookmarks" menu is not present with the new version of Firefox.

With the new version of Firefox, "organize bookmarks" is no longer present under the Bookmarks menu. Therefore, I am unable to export my bookmarks.

I found it. "Organize Bookmarks" is now "Show All Bookmarks".

I have trouble opening PDF documents with Firefox. They will open using IE8 and with the older version of Firefox but not with the new version of Firefox.

Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

With the new version of Firefox I cannot use my Google Toolbar. Can I revert to the earlier version with which the Google Toolbar was compatiable? If so, how do I do it?

I love Firefox but found it more user-friendly when I had my Google Toolbar as well. I want it back and the new version of Firefox does not allow it. Can I revert to the most recent version of Firefox which did allow Google Toolbar and if so how do it do that?

Is Anyone Having Problems with the newer version of Firefox?

I still have my older Mac OsXv10.4 Tiger software. I wasn't exactly happy with Safari browser as it would block many sites and were considered incompatible so I downloaded the free Firefox browser (the 2.0 version) of which I STILL have. I'm aware that there is a much newer version and would like to download that, but I've heard a lot of people saying they have been having severe problems with it, but then they have PCs and not Macs.
So my question is for you Mac users that use Firefox, have you had major problems with the newer version? I'm real hesitant to download if I'm going to have the same problem PC users are having...like constantly crashing. Also would my old Tiger software be compatible? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard.

Yes. I had problems with Firefox 3.5. The primary problem was very slow or never-ending loading of certain websites (particularly secure sites and sites with many features). I also have had similar, but not as bad, problems with Safari 4. I never had these problems with Safari 2 or Firefox 2. It just seems that with each update, the problems increased for me. I have read the Safari and Firefox forums and tried many fixes with little improvement. I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of compatibility problem between the latest versions of Safari and Firefox and Shockwave Flash and/or Javascript and OS 10.4, particularly on PPC Macs. I expect there are many who will disagree and I cannot argue or prove the point. This is just my opinion. And I recognize that my problems could be caused by my setup and not by the browsers. By the way, I do not use any add-ons with any of my browsers. Anyway, I got tired of dealing with it and installed the latest version of Camino about 2 weeks ago. I also did a clean install of Firefox 3.0.13. Camino is working out great for me. It is simple and it works. No problems at all. So currently I am using Camino as my primary browser and Firefox 3.0.13 as my backup. I hope this helps.

Why can I not install Yahoo Tool bar with the newer version of Firefox whereas I could with the older one?

I was able to use Yahoo toolbar with the older version of Firefox and now I am not able to, why? Is there a way to allow it?

Looks to me like the latest driver version for this printer is 10.2.1, not 10.3.02...

I have avast antivirus. When I got a note that my avast doesn't work with the new version of firefox. When I check Avast it says I am protected. I'm confused.

I recently updated my version of firefox and I got a message that my avast antivirus software was not supported by the new version of firefox. when I checked my avast it indicated that I was still protected. However, I've noticed that the avast is not downloading new antivirus signatures like it used to. Is my avast working?

You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast for Firefox 5.

Having a variety of crashes with the new version of Firefox. There does not seem to be a pattern

Several things have happened since the installation of the latest version of FireFox:
1. Intermittent opening of the browser from the desktop.
a) Opens in safe mode no problem provided shift key is used.
b) Opens sometimes and remains open
i) Sometimes page switches cause the browser to close
ii) Sometimes page switches continue as expected
c) Opens then closes a few seconds later
2. Intermittent opening of project pages from BOINC
a) Sometimes opens and allows browsing of the science projects website
b) Opens then immediately closes
c) Opens and page switches cause the browser to close
There does not seem to be a discernible pattern to what is going to happen each time the browser is opened.
The only crash report I have was submitted November 2010. I am not aware of any crash reports that have been generated for the current problems on my system.

My observation so far is that if you just type keywords, Mail wants to search everything. The reason for the missing results, I think, is because the email is not getting indexed properly. If you rebuild, then things get indexed correctly.
I tried your idea with the quote. Now, no matter what I type, I always get a set of options. But I cannot tell if that was enabled by the quote or if it was already going to do that, because now I don't need the quote to get a list of various options. The first, which I've always gotten is "message contains", but now I'm seeing subject suggestions and such.
Very confusing. I'm wondering if spotlight hasn't been doing some incremental work in the background that we don't know about, and some things will just magically start working now.

Can I use Webroot Internet Security with the new version of Firefox?

I am being advised to download the new version. However, I remember seeing something about it not being compatible with Webroot. Is that true?

You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,

Once it is installed, open Addons Manager and re-enable Webroot addon.
