In FireFox 4.0, PDF files will not display

After updating to 4.0, PDF files will not display in the browser window as before. All I get is blank screen. Everything works fine in IE9. I have updated all the plug-ins, including Adobe Acrobat. Also have enable Display PDF in browser in Acrobat Reader.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Adobe PDF files will not display when called via a link in page (FF 4.01)

    adobe PDF files will not display when called via a link in page.
    This happens when testing new web page from DWeaver CS5 - all other browser tests are OK (IE9, Safari5.05, Chrome etc.)

  • A pdf file will not display in a new window in FF12 (and many previous revisions)

    There appear to be several different ways to display a pdf file from a browser. One is just opening another tab and displaying the file. This way works. Another option is a 'download' window will open up downloading the pdf file which can then be displayed successfully. A third way is that another external window opens with some application verbiage displayed which is then overwritten by the actual pdf file. This method does not work for me. I have to go to Chrome or, pardon the expression, IE, to get the pdf files displayed in this manner.
    I have a jpg of the opened window with no pdf data displayed but I didn't know how to include it.
    Thank you.

    Can you try in safe mode please?

  • Some PDF files will not display Why?

    When I try and display some PDF files they only open up a blank screen. Any ideas.

    I am having the same problem with Safari, I will save Adobe Reader to desktop quite it and try to open it again and get a blank and it telling me it doesn't recognize it. Then I copy it from Safari, and paste it into Firefox and it will open in Safari and anywhere it want to open it. I just use this instead of trying to open it again in Safari.

  • Pdf files will not display in english, windows default

    Hello,
    When I download a pdf file I cannot get it to display in english.
    the default is set at windows, but I always seem to get a display in other languages.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Pam

    Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
    Adobe Reader version 11.0.04  is now working for me.

  • Embedded pdf files will not open

    Dell Laptop Windows XP up to date, Firefox 4.0, Adobe Reader 10.0.1
    Since updating to Firefox 4.0 certain embedded pdf files will not open forcing me to use my Internet Explorer browser to access these files. Tried all of the FAQ suggestions with no relief.
    NOTE: I can open previously opened files (Firefox 3.___) but not a new one.

    Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

  • PDF FILE WILL NOT WORK OR OPEN ADOBE READER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.

    PDF FILE WILL NOT OPEN IN A FEW APPLICATIONS AS THEY DID BEFORE. IF I CAN'T VIEW THEM I CAN'T PRINT THEM.

    Hi
    Why wouldn't an Apple file D/L into an Apple browser?
    Likely due there being a non-Apple plugin trying to handle it & failing.
    Look in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ for any plugins with 'pdf' in the name.
    Remove any you find - either trash or take to the desktop, restart any browsers, then try a pdf.

  • Pdf files will not open upon downloading

    I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them.  Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download.  Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences.  Any other thoughts?  A solution would be most helpful.  (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

  • Pdf files will not open

    Hi,
    I have viewed through this forum and did not find a problem with similar symptoms.
    I upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Reader 9 and then the .pdf files will not open.
    Actions and Observations/Symptoms:
    1)  After I clicked onto the pdf document icon - nothing happens.
    2)  I right click onto the pdf icon and chose "open with Adobe 9" and get the same response.  Nothing happens.
    3)  I go to the the start menu - select Adobe Reader 9 - and the program does not even open.
    =======
    I have since removed Reader 9 and re-installed Reader 8.  I tried the above actions and got the same behaviour.  Not a whole lot happens.  It seems like something is broken after the first initial upgrade.
    In fact - I went to the folder:  
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader  and
    tried to open Reader by double clicking onto "AcroRd32.exe" and there was no response.
    I'm completely lost!  Can anyone share a fix to my problem?
    Thanks,
    Mike
    Some hardware & OS background info:  Toshiba Laptop - 1.58 Ghz, 3GB RAM - M/S Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3

    I can't explain the cause to the problem - but I found two "work-arounds" to get me running again.
    Workaround #1:
    I found another program (and there are many) on the web that will also read .pdf files.  I downloaded  "Foxit Reader" , installed it and it works.  I can now view my pdf docs!
    However - I got so used to Adobe Reader - I really wanted to get Reader working again.
    Workaround #2:
    I re-installed Adobe Reader 8.
    Instead of running the usual Adobe installation script that I got from the web, I copied (from another PC's C-drive)  the "Reader 8.0" folder and all its contents into my current C- drive directory structure  C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
    I re-booted the PC and can now open my pdf files using Reader 8.
    It seems to work - but I don't know what the effects of this installation method will have in the future - or the interaction it will have with other programs.  I guess when I need to remove the program in the future  - I'll have to do it manually, since it doesn't even register in the "Add or Remove Programs" under Control Panel.
    ===============
    Hope this helps out anyone else with similar symptoms.
    In the original problem, it's unfortunate that there were no error messages whatsoever when I tried opening the pdf files.  It was like as if Reader was not even activated or even loaded on my PC.  I'll bug me for a while - but at least I got Reader working again (for now....)!

  • Flash Files Will Not Display in Dreamweaver

    Flash files will not display in Dreamweaver or in any
    browser. If I insert a Flash button, text or other file, when I hit
    the "play" button the flash place holder disapears, and the Flash
    file never displays. In the Property Inspector, the file is always
    "undefined" even when I save the file to my root folder with a
    name. When I hit the "Edit" button, I get the message that the file
    could not be found on my local disk. It's like Dreamweaver fails to

  • CF8 - pdf files do not display in a browser

    We are setting up the multiple instance capability using jrn4 with cf8,
    with apache 2.x on Redhat linux 5.X.
    For the when browsing to the main cfusion instance I can see pdf files
    but if I go to the document root of an instance, pdf files are not displayed.
    Infact it hoses whichever browser you are using.
    I can see cfm, txt, html files.
    Anyone have an idea what is happening?

    I tried your recommendation of turning off coldfusion and it
    appears the problem of not being able to display
    a pdf file has nothing to do with coldfusion or with apache.
    The problem appears to be how we are mounting the documentroot on a linux server
    from a windows file server using a cifs mount.
    It seems to handle text files properly but not pdf files (it may have problems
    with other types of files), perhaps it is an issue with end of line or end of
    file which is confusing things.
    This is the mount command we are using
    //win_file_server/xyz     /data/xyz          cifs   user,ro,credentials=credentials,uid=48,gid=48,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755
    The credentials file contains
    username=some_name
    password=xxxxxxxx
    uid=apache
    gid=apache
    filemode=0660
    dirmode=0770
    nosuid
    nosetuids
    It works file if the documentroot is on a mounted unix file system, but not windows.
    Does anyone know if mounting a windows file system can work properly?
    (Perhaps we are missing some additional settings).
