No longer embedded PDF in Firefox after Reader update

Hi
I use Firefox 2 on Windows XP SP2
I have updated Reader from 7 to 8.1.6 by desinstalling 7 and then installing 8.1.6
Since, when I open a PDF link on a web page, Firefox no longer opens the PDF in the browser window but opens an separate reader window. It worked fine before the update. It seems the plugin for firefox hasn't been installed. What can I do ?
Thanks

Michael
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Can no longer use mail or calendar after OS update!

    Hello,
    After recently updating my iPod touch to OS 3.1.2 I am no longer able to use my school/work email or calendar. I get an error message that says: "Policy Requirement: The account '[email address]' requires encryption which is not supported on this iPod."
    This was never a problem before I updated the OS. I have restarted, restored etc. all multiple times and still to no avail. I can't seem to get back to the previous OS, either! This is a major problem for me because the calendar was one of the main things I used my iPod for... I don't even have a single song on it! Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated...

    Hi Sara
    Straight answer is that Apple ‘messed’ up the security on the iTouch version you have such the software OS spoofed security settings back to your Exchange server so it thought the device was actually encrypted when actually the device was incapable. When Apple issued the update you applied, it changed that and the OS no longer fooled the Exchange server, meaning the server refuses to sync, unless your mail admin removes the device encryption policy on the server (Very unlikely if like me you work for a large corporate!). At this point Apple also launched the new 3G iTouch for both 32GB and 64GB, these (just like the iPhone 3GS) do physically support device encryption so are the only versions which will allow you to do what you managed to do by error on your device before. As you’d expect there was quite a lot of up roar on the internet as they overnight killed email for all older iTouch and more importantly all iPhone and iPhone 3G users.
    In my case, my 32GB 2G iTouch was only 2 months old when this update came out and broke my Mail and Calendar sync. Having discovered this was Apple's issue, i.e. claiming they supported something when they didn't really! (And because this was a specific feature I'd had asked during the sales process when buying the iTouch in the Apple store), I managed to take it back for a swap as it no longer did what they said it would (also benefited from upgrading to the 64GB version i.e. paid the price diff as the 64BG launched at almost the same price as the 32GB was 2 months prior... very annoying and again, something I specifically asked the sales guy to confirm if a newer device was coming as I’d wait!). Anyway.. my suggestion to you depending on how old it is... go tell them this feature is specifically why you brought the iTouch in the first place... and now they 'Apple' broke that specific feature.. it’s no longer fit for purpose... Worked for me... (Eventually – being quite loud and insistent in store !)
    As a result - my faith in Apple - fully Restored!

  • I can no longer open pdfs in Firefox. I don't get an error message. Nothing happens when I click on the link. Same problem with downloads.

    Never had a problem like this before, I was always able to open a pdf or download a file from any site. I used Firefox exclusively to download my credit card statements, bills, etc. but I can no longer do this.

    Hi lornetz,
    Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There is some good troubleshooting information in there. They also list 2 different PDF plugins. I'd try both just to be safe.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why can I no longer Print anything from Firefox after installing 28.0?

    Since upgrading to 28.0, I can no longer print anything from within the Firefox browser. My other applications continue to print normally, but whenever I try to print anything from Firefox, I get a "A print error has occurred" message. The Print Preview page displays only a blank, gray window. Prior to upgrading I had no problems.

    Can you try to access Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem still exists and/or if it opens? You can follow the below instructions to start it in that mode.
    *Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *When Firefox closes and re-opens, select ''Start in Safe Mode''
    If Firefox works fine after starting in Safe Mode, then it's most likely one of your extensions misbehaving. You can enable your add-ons back on by one until you find the conflicting extension.

  • Since upgrading to FireFox 4 I can no longer view pdfs in firefox. I have to switch to IE to view these pdf files.

    since upgrading to FireFox 4 I am unable to access pdf online. It takes me to a New Tab which is blank. I have no problem viewing and downloading these files using IE.

  • Javascript buttons and links no longer work in Firefox after latest update

    Whenever I try to use a javascript button or link, nothing happens, I just get a message in the bottom bar such as: "javascript:window.close();" telling me what the command is, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I cannot close windows in social security or in any other program using javascript. This has happened since the last upgrade to Firefox 11. I even tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling (using the Mozilla instructions to '''completely''' remove Firefox) a fresh Firefox eleven, to no avail. I made sure javascript was completely enabled in tools/options/content

    I have a similar problem like this. I dont know what the deal is but since some type of either add on upgrade or firefox upgrade i get notifications to install flash when i try to launch anything from google music. I did everything you can think of including uninstalling, reinstalling both the add on "No Script" Firefox itself, ran several diagnostic programs to ensure it wasnt any type of malware, reinstalled Adobe Flash 11, Verified Java version. I even tried to play music from google music in IE8 and that worked so its clearly Mozilla and its add ons. I disabled No Script and Google Music miraculously started working fine. This is pretty irritating considering I do everything in my power to ensure I dont get hit with any type of malware, virus, spyware, etc and No Script is definitely an Add on i like to use for that very reason since Firefox no longer supports the Norton Web Tracker add on. Any fix for this foolishness would be great, thanks!!

  • Cannot open embedded pdf files with Adobe Reader X

    When trying to open pdf files embedded as an object within MS Word or Excel (Office 2007) it comes up with the following message:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
    I had no problems with AR v9.
    Similarly, when I try to insert a pdf file as an object it comes up with exactly the same message.

    Sure.
    In Reader X:
    Edit->Preferences->General->uncheck "Enable Protected Mode At Start Up"
    Cheers

  • I am unable to open some embedded PDFs in Firefox, but I can open them in IE.

    OS - Windows 7 Ultimate
    Firefox ver: 3.6.13
    Acrobat 8 installed
    Acrobat Reader X installed
    I can open them in IE. I am using Windows 7 and Firefoc 3.6.13. In IE, if I click on the PDF link, it opens a smaller window on the same page and display the pdf. I can click on a link labeled "Complete version" and it opens the PDF in a new window. If I click the link in Firefox, I get a message that the file cannot be opened because it is either damaged on not supported. I have Acrobat 8 installed and Acrobat Reader X (which I just installed to see if this would fix the problem, but it did not).Any suggestions?

    I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home.  It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me?  It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.
    Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
    AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
    Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

  • Opening Firefox after iTunes Update

    I just updated to iTunes Version 10.6.0.40.  After rebooting, I can no longer get Firefox or Internet Explorer to open.  Any ideas?  Is there a way to uninstall the upgrade?  Thanks.

    I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
    I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376   it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time! The main purpose of this is to remove any trace of the old version of iTunes from your computer...
    Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
    Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
    Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot again!
    Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
    Reboot!
    Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

  • One iPod, two PCs.  iPod no longer recognized on on PC after latest updater

    I have a 4G 20GB with color display that I sync to 2 PCs; my DT at home where my music library is, and my office laptop where I manage Podcasts.
    About 2 weeks ago, after updating to iT6 (6.0.3) and the 1-10 updater, my laptop stopped recognizing my iPod - I get the message "USB Device not recognized". My DT sees the iPod fine.
    I have tried all the R's twice, no help. Restoring and re-loading the library allowed it to sync 2-3 times, but now I am back where I started. I cannot afford the time to re-load 18GB every time I want updated podcasts on my iPod, and do not want to use my dt (actually my kid's PC) every time I want to get new podcasts.
    Any suggestions? TIA
    IBM T40 Laptop   Windows XP Pro   2nd PC Sony Vaio Desktop

    That's what i was afraid of...but that's extra work and doesn't allow you to jump to a certain track.
    Thanks for the response- sounds like I either have to settle for keeping the iPod i've got and never putting new music onto it...or break down and spend the money on a new one. This one is barely past its warranty, tho, so it's tough to spend that kind of $ yet again for another iPod that won't last very long.
    Does anyone know of any 3rd party repair people who can fix iPod touch?

  • Can no longer download pdf file since last safari update

    Since the last OS update (I am running Safari 6.1; OX 10.8.5) pdf files via Safari fail to open. Yet they do open in Firefox, which is 'not' my default browser. Anyone else having issues?

    Try this ...
    Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go.
    If you see the:  AdobePDFViewer plugin (or anything Adobe related) in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
    Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

  • Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls after recent update

    When I updated my Bluetooth to iOS 6, the Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls. I press button to answer call, it makes a small cracking noise, and then sends the call to my phone. I can use the Bluetooth for outgoing calls and it works just fine. I was hoping when I updated to iOS 6.0.1 that the problem would be fixed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Bluetooth but that has not helped either. I am frustrated. I have a LG HBM-905 Bluetooth that I loved prior to this problem.

    Magically started working today after I synced.

  • Why doI keep losing firefox after I update?

    Every time I update Firefox I keep getting a message telling me" I am running an old version and need to update". After Firefox loads, the rest of the info doesn't come up, like,"click run", only the"click save" comes up. So, I would guess it isn't completing the update. Why is this happening? I'm still running the old version.

    Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
    You can check that in the "Compatibility" tab in the Properties via the right-click context menu of the Firefox desktop shortcut.
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

  • Script in JavaScript does work properly on every web browser apart from Firefox (After FF update the script stopped working properly).

    Hello,
    script was always working correctly on every web browser. Unfortunately after (probably) last update Firefox stopped handling with it.
    Script is the part of forum based on popular MyBB (http://www.mybb.com/). I put a screenshoot below, which should easily show how did the script work.

    After clicking on any icon (e.g. bold "B") it shows "[undefined=undefined]" and then clicking shows no effects.
    Errors from "WWW console" after icon clicking:
