My Firefox has started opening downloaded PDF files in a creen with no option to save or print them. How can I fix this?

I get my bills etc electronically. I then download them and save them to a file on my computer. Firefox is now opening them in a window that has only the PDF and an address bar, the "File Edit View, etc" at the top of the screen is missing and I can't figure out how to save these files.

Hi rjwwalker3-
It is possible to adjust your preferences for files, and what Firefox does with them. Here is an article on how to adjust your preferences when dealing with files:
[[Managing file types]]
Hope that helps!

  • Firefox will not open my email client when I click on a "mailto" link on any website. How can I fix this.

    Anytime I drag my cursor across, or try to click on a "mailto" email link on any webpage, it will display an incorrect e-mail address (it seems to default to one in particular). It will not open a new e-mail window and if I "copy e-mail address" it's the wrong one. I've tried everything and was hoping with new updates the problem would solve itself but obviously it hasn't.
    HELP ! This is driving me CRAZY

    For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.

  • Lately pdf files from the Web do not display properly; what is wrong and how can I fix it so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a professor and frequently need to open pdfs of academic journal articles from electronic databases. Within the last two or three weeks, when I try to do this using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf displays and the rest are blank. In addition, a bar appears across the top with the message "This pdf file may not display properly." So I have had to switch to Internet Explorer to open the files and do my research. What is going on and how can I fix it so I can open pdf files from the Web in Firefox and have them display properly?

    My question is simple - why would you put an application in production that has a lot of bugs? To replace a good and steady Adobe product? My customers will believe that I put a pathetic fallible form online. They are not sophisticated on computers so I just tell them to use IE. Ugh
    I must agree with pgwebgirl!

  • When I click on some links, Firefox tries to open a ton of new tabs... I have to force quit. How can I stop this?

    Sometimes when I click on a website link, Firefox goes crazy with trying to open new tabs... it keeps going until I force quit. How can I stop this?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I clicked on a link

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

  • I used to be able to open new tabs in a window, I am no longer able to do so. How can I fix this?

    This week Firefox would not allow me to open a blank tab when I click on the + tab at the top or when I press Ctrl T. I used to be able to open new blank tabs. This is frustrating. I have looked at the tools/options and help sections and cannot figure it out. How do I fix this?

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbWCL2V5/3.13.1.18107

  • When I download files from the internet, it shows the file downloading in the download box, but then as soon as it's done it just disappears. How can I fix this?

    This has been happening for several weeks.

    It sounds like perhaps the file doesn't have an extension that the system recognizes. Is this all files, or just one specific one, and if so, which? What is the name (and extension, if it has one) of the downloaded file? What kind of file do you *expect* it to be? (PDF, or whatever). Renaming a file with the appropriate extension can often fix that kind of problem.

    the older version of bonjour could not be removed
    Let's see if we can make some progress with that one first.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have a custom add-on on my work Firefox. I set up Firefox sync to transfer it over to my laptop, however, my add-on still does not appear. How can I fix this?

    As mentioned in the question, I have a custom add-on I want on my other computer. According to your website, I should be able to transfer it effortlessly with Firefox Sync. What am I doing wrong or is there another way I can transfer my add-on to my personal laptop?

    Do you have the original XPI of this extension?
    If that is the case then you can copy the file to the other computer (e.g. via an USB stick) and install the extension via "File (or Firefox > New Tab) > Open File".
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_extensions
    Otherwise you can try to copy the installation folder of this extension in the extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder to the Firefox profile folder on the other computer.<br />
    You should see the ID of the extension on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page (about:support).

  • Some emails do not appear when open, yet if I reply to the email, the text shows in the reply. How can I fix this?

    When I open certain emails, nothing appears except the headers. Yet when I reply to the message, all the text appears. I have made sure that the setting are correct for these accounts. If I open my email in IE 9, everything appears. Is there a way to fix this? IE is my last choice for browsers.
    Thanks.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Pages, downloaded from the web, beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed. How can I resolve this?

    How can I resolve a recent printing problem I'm experiencing regarding downloads from the web where pages beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed or lines of type at bottoms of pages are missing?

    David,
    Thanks for the reply. I wish I could tell you that your suggestions solved my problem - they didn't.
    I've deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again; I've reset the printing system, then added the printer again; I've downloaded printer drivers, deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again.
    I plan to contact hp later this week for further assistance as you suggest.
    My printer is a hp OfficeJetPro L7590.
    I've enclosed screen shots illustrating the situation.
    Regards,

  • When I click on hyperlinks in Word or One Note, firefox adds FirefoxHTML\Shell\Open\Command to the url which of course returns a "url not found" error. How can I fix this?

    I recently updates to Firefox 4, but this was happening even before. I read posts online from several years ago that suggested temporarily make IE the default browser, and then changing it back to Firefox, but this didn't help.
    I am using Office 2010.
