Pdf files now have a firefox icon

WIN XP. Have checked file association settings and pdf files are directed towards using Adobe reader. Completed uninstall of FFox31 and icons changed back to Adobe. Cleaned computer and carried out clean install. Icons remained as pdf for two restarts and then changed back to FFox icons. Everything works normally but the icons remain as FFox. Have set FFox application options to 'always ask' temporarily.
I have a second WinXP machine that has upgraded to FFox 31 without this problem. Strange!

Hi dlschool. That solution worked exactly as described. Thank you for your efforts and to passing this information along.

  • After resetting Firefox, all of my PDF files now have the Firefox icon. I don't like this. Is Mozilla working on a fix for this?

    As stated, I used the reset feature in Firefox and immediately afterward the icon on all of my PDF files changed to the Firefox icon. Hopefully Mozilla is working on a fix for this??

    This solved my problem. Got my Adobe icons back. Hope the other people having the same problem see this solution - it was pretty painless compared to some of the other solutions I read about.
    Thanks Philipp.

  • Strange Icon behavior: PDF files now show an iPod Icon

    A week or so ago, the icon for PDF files on my G5 (10.5.5) switched to become the icon for an iPod. All PDF files now look like iPods. If only I had so many iPods!
    Waaaaaay back, one would "rebuild the desktop" and it would correct many icon problems. I don't know what to do these days.
    Any ideas what this is about?

    It might be that the LaunchServices database is corrupt and needs rebuilding. Launch the Terminal app, copy & paste in the below command, hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, restart, and check the icons on those files:
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

    You can't edit a file with PDF Pack, but you should be able to convert it to a Word document, and if you are really lucky edit THAT and make a new PDF. Don't expect too much though!

  • Will not allow me to download PDF files (I have to go to a non-firefox exployer to get it). Do I need a plug-in?

    I cannot seem to download PDF files. When I attempt to download the file, it just shows me a blank white screen. In order for me to download a PDF file, I have to use my regular Internet Explorer.
    Is there a plug-in or something in Firefox that I need in order to view PDF files?

    When you installed Foxit Reader, did you opt out of the Ask Toolbar installation?
    If not, click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and remove it in there. Then try again.
    If it doesn't work, download Adobe Reader from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO (disable Foxit Reader in the Extensions menu first).

  • Cannot save a pdf file. XP SP3, Firefox 5.0.

    When I try to save a pdf file to my computer, Firefox "hangs" and I have to close everything and exit Firefox. I am "saving" while Firefox is open. This happens every time I try to save a pdf file.
    I am able to save pdf files using IE as my browser.

    Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

    Hello djensen1x,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
    Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
    Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
    Hope to get your response.

  • Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

  • How to find PDF files that have other documents bundeled within them?

    Hello guys
    I need help with the following: we have a huge number of PDF files that have other documents imbedded (bundled, attached) in them. If such a document is open in Acrobat, bundled files show up as attachments on the left. Some of those attachements are .mdi files. This is Microsoft Document Images files. Is there a way to flag PDF's that have those .mdi files in them? I need to find them and convert to PDF. If I need to be more descriptive please ask, and thank you in advance for help.

    Preflight is a complex plugin, it's hard to explain how to use it in one forum post. You need to read the documentation carefully.
    There's no pre-built profile for what you want, so you would first create a new Custom Check that compares the MIME type string of embedded files to what you're searching for (not the file extension but the full MIME identifier, which for Office files is a very long string). You would then place that new Custom Check into a new Profile, identifying it as an error condition. Once you've saved the Profile you can run it against a number of files and specify actions to be taken for pass and fail conditions, such as changing the filename or moving to a subfolder.

  • All files now have firefox icon

    Not sure why, but for some reason almost every icon on my desktop now has a firefox logo on it, except program executable icons. This includes pdf files, jpg files, folder shortcuts. Also when I open a folder, and change the view to medium icons, every file in that folder, no matter what type shows a firefox logo. These desktop icons were not created in or by firefox and are not website shortcuts. Windows Vista

    Try to rebuild the Windows icon cache.
    * Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
    * In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    * Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
    * Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    * Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
    * After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.

  • I can not print more than page one of PDF file I have loaded with 2013 version Firefox; I am able to with IE. Vista Home Prem is my OS and I have a 64 bit Dell

    I have the most current version of MS Home Premium Vista. I run it on a 64 bit Dell Studio Laptop.
    I have just started suing Mozilla Firefox 2013 Beta version.
    I usually used Firefox vs IE as my browser and have my Yahoo email set as my home page.
    When I tried to print a a several page PDF file I was accessing using Firefox, all it it print previewed and ultimately printed was page one. This happened regardless of the PDF file (e.g. those on the IRS.gov website). When I switch over to Internet Explorer and try to read the same files, I have no problem.
    On 2012 versions of Firefox I had no PDF printing problem. I do think there is a bug in the latest version.

    Top left (Orange) Firefox button, Print, Print Preview. Does everything look correct? You may also click the icon that looks like a "DISK" to save, which allows you to save it to your computer and CTRL+P will allow you to print.

  • I can't open a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

    Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

    For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
    I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
    * Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
    *[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
