PC-LinuxOS: Firefox has Adobe8 reader, but any site with a PDF shows a blank screen. I must download and Open with Adobe Reader. How do I reinstall?

The Firefox browser works fine, however if I attempt to open a PDF within the browser, it does not open it.
I'm just not familiar enough with the system, but understand I should be able to use a command line to access a directory, and by erasing a file, cause the system to reassociate the add-on.
I do not know the proceedure, nor which directories I need to access to reset this add-on so Firefox can reassociate it.

What is your operating system?  Reader version?  Downloading from what browser?

  • My iMovie 10.0.1 has quit working. When you open it up, it just shows a blank screen, all my events and projects are now gone!

    Hi everyone,
    I have been using imovie a lot on my macbook and never had any problems. Last night however I deleted two events in my library. Then restarted my macbook as sometimes after working on it for a while it gets slow. So anyway when I opened it up again it just hung on a blank screen with nothing happening. It didnt bring up the usual screen panels for importing, or editing, or any of the normal stuff.
    My husband deleted the application and then reinstalled it. Same thing happening!! Any advice??

    Another easy way to fix this.
    What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
    Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
    Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

  • Form filled out with colors, but when opened in adobe reader they are black

    I have filled out a form with custom colors used in the accesability settings, but when I save the document and open it adobe reader they filled in fonts are black.
    Is there a way to maintain the accesability colours when printing and opening in adobe reader ?

    Accessibility settings are a personal preference. They are set by each
    user (or, if you have Reader and Acrobat, in each one). Above all,
    they are very much NOT saved in a document, because each user needs to
    be able to set their own.

  • Firefox has run before but can't start any more

    Firefox has run before but can't start any more.
    I tried the solutions proposed but it doesn't work

    Hello,
    See this help Article :
    [[Firefox won't start - find solutions]]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In case you want to do something straight away, try a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    * Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    * After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    * Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    * Windows:
    * C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    * Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    * Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Install Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    * Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    * Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    * Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found here.
    '''''WARNING:''''' Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • .jsp files opened in Adobe Reader by Firefox will not print on my HP laserjet

    I have a vendor site that provides me info in .jsp format, which Firefox on my Mac opens in Adobe Reader. When I send this file to my HP 3015 laserjet it starts spooling the file then locks up. I tried creating a .pdf file in Acrobat Pro, but still encountered the same problem. My Firefox, Adobe Reader, Acrobat Pro, and MacOSX (snow leopard) are current. I do NOT encounter the problem with .aspx files. Appreciate any help here! Thanks

  • Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

    Hello, I would like to use Firefox as my default browser, but the reason I still use the old Netscape Navigator is that that clicking on my bookmarks Firefox is not opening new tab. Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

    Install the addon
    Open Bookmarks in New Tab 0.1.2010043001.

    Restart on installation.

  • Hi, I need the program of access from the office, so i'm going to but the Microsoft office 365 university, will i have to but any other program to use the access from my mac? or to open any database that I will have did from any other computer (not mac)?

    There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
    So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac.

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • Since up dating my Firefox I can not play any games on Facebook they all run very slow, can someone please help me with a solution.

    Since up dating my Firefox I can not play any games on Facebook they all run very slow, can someone please help me with a solution.It mainly seems to be with games.

    RE: "P.S. I  found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text  here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain  text?"
    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY
    CTRL + X = CUT
    CTRL + V = PASTE

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.
