PDF Reader plug-in not recognized by Firefox

Using the latest version of Firefox on a Mac running OS Snow Tiger.
In my browser prefs I have "Use Adobe Reader (default)" selected for all PDF documents presented to me online yet EVERY TIME I click on the PDF document, I get the error message:
"It appears you don't have support to open PDFs in this web browser. A plugin is needed to display this content. Click here to install."
Yet which I follow that link, I get a message "No suitable plugins were found."
At the Mozilla side, PDF isn't even LISTED as an available plug-in!
Thus, I have to download the PDF file and open it with Adobe Reader.
This is truly a nuisance when I'm doing online research that involves a lot of reading of PDF documents.
Seems that I USED to be able to view PDF docs within my browser once upon a time ... what happened?

Flash plug-in not recognized in Firefox

I wasn't sure where to put this. I'll be putting it on the Mozilla site as well.
I've installed the Flash 10 plug-in about half a dozen times on my Macbook and I cannot get the web content to work. It appears to install properly, i restart the site and/or reboot the PC and everytime the flash content should come up, it prompts me to install Flash again. It keeps acting like i don't have it installed.
Any help? If this isn't the right discussion, let me know.

Try this one more time. Uninstall FlashPlayer. Install the newest version here.
Repair permissions after the update.

Hi Raja,
I can understand your concern & will guide you in the right direction.
Let me know the version of Adobe Reader, web browser & operating system installed on your computer?
You can also refer to this KB doc. for the troubleshooting steps : Configure browser to use the Adobe PDF plug-in
*Note : The Adobe Reader plugin will not be supported in Chrome. The Chromium team has decided to remove support for NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader. Here's a blog post that describes their decision - Chromium Blog: The Final Countdown for NPAPI

Reader Plug-in not printing PDFs correctly after InDesign Install on Mac OS 10.9.5

Installed InDesign trial yesterday. Ever since, no matter what browser I use, if I try to print PDFs from a browser, if the pages are in portrait mode, it will display them in portrait mode within the browser, but when I go to print them, the page appears in landscape and the bottom of each page does not print. It doesn't matter whether I select portrait or landscape mode. The page in the preview does not rotate. Some of the websites I use do not allow saving of a PDF, only viewing it in my browser window, so I can't save and use Preview to try to print it.
HELP!

Are you using Adobe Reader or Apple Preview to print PDFs?
You should not use Apple Preview to do anything with PDFs as it is not a reliable PDF viewer. Use Adobe Acrobat or Reader for PDFs only.
Do you have installed any PDF plugins? On the Apple PDFs are shown without any plugins because their graphic engine Quartz is based on PDF, but it does not support completely every PDF standard, so it is better to use Adobe Acrobat or Reader. (But Apple Preview has been improved in the newest upgrades from Apples OS, so it is much better than before.)

Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

'''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
Solution:
I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.

PDF Add-on does not work with Firefox 14.0.1

I have not found a PDF add-on that works with 14.0.1. I'm forced to go to IE or Chrome when there is a PDF to be opened.

If you are not opposed to using the plugin that comes with Adobe Reader X, this article might help: [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]].
If you prefer Foxit Reader, it might be that you need to enable the add-on or update it and then enable it.
To check for disabled add-ons, try here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons
Check both the Plugins category and the Extensions category for your PDF reader(s). You may find disabled items in a separate set at the bottom of the list.
To check for add-on updates, use the "gear" icon above the list.

PDF Fast Web View not working in Firefox

I am using qpdf to convert PDF to linearized PDF files. The Byte requests are working on Chrome and Internet explorer but its not working on Firefox.
Firefox 18.0.2 (On Windows)
Adobe Acrobat reader - 10.1.4.38
Adobe Reader's (Edit > Preferences >)
Internet > Fast Web View - Enabled
Allow speculative downloading in the background - Enabled
Display PDF in Browser - Enabled
Using Apache x_send_file to render the files

What do you mean by not displaying properly?
I checked it on my computer in Firefox and it looks good.

Plug-ins not recognized

Logic is not recognizing:
- Cakewalk Dimension Pro
- Native Instruments StormDrum
- Native Instruments Battery
- Spectrasonics Atmosphere
- Spectrasonics Stylus RMX
Logic is recognizing:
- IK Philharmonik Orchestra
- IK Sonik Synth 2
So, any ideas on what could be the problem? I rely heavily on these plugins.. What things could I try to have them work?
The strange thing is that; Rax can see all the plugins and Digital Performer can see all the plugins. But it's Logic and (Garageband) that cannot see any but just those two.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried opening the AU Validation tool, and re-scanning from there? Often times, that'll fix plug-ins that you know have passed before.
NI's Storm Drum, and Spectrasonics Atmosphere and RMX passed fine over here.
And there is a new 1.6.1 update for RMX available now, specifically for Logic 8 users, that fixes the multi-channel problem.

I can not use the Acrobat DC Cloud. How do I get an Acrobat PDF Reader that does not use the Cloud?

The subject pretty much says it all.
I can not save sensitive corporate files on your Cloud.
Even for non-sensitive PDFs, I do not always have access to the cloud when I need to view or work with a PDF.
I need a non-cloud version of Acrobat Reader.
When Reader DC installed onto my system it must have blown away Reader XI.
After I uninstalled Reader DC, now I can't open/read PDFs anymore.
Also, I can't find a copy of Adobe Acrobat to install that isn't cloud dependent.
This is a problem for me.
Besides all that, NOW I get error messages every time I try to re-install Reader DC.
See below.
So, today at work, I can no longer open PDFs.
Thanks? NOT!
HELP!

Here, I finally have a solution.
Gotta love Google.
More helpful than Adobe so far.
Note: Clicking on the link below will immediately open the download dialogue box.
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/en_US/AdbeRdr1011_en_US.exe
I used this download to install, and the Installer was flawless.
Thanks everyone who contributed ideas and potential solutions.

How can I install an old version of the Adobe PDF Reader plug-in/add-on for Internet Explorer?

I have installed an old version of Adobe Reader (X or 10.1.4), but my Adobe PDF Reader add-on in Internet Explorer remains version 11+...how can I get an old version of this plug-in?

The new serial number is to the right of your chosen download.

Built-in pdf reader plugin does not work in 5.1.7

The WEBdav built-in PDF reader in 5.1.7 shows a black page, and looking at the list of plugins, it has no file to go to:
WebKit built-in PDF
— from file “”.
How do I fix this?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Boris Plug-Ins not recognized

In my plug-in folder (application support/Final Cut Pro System Support) there are four folders: Text Scrambler.bundle, Title 3D.bundle, Title Crawl.bundle and Vector Shape.bundle. When I open FCP 6.0.5, these 4 plug-ins are not recognized. There isn't even Boris folder in Generator effects. Are they in the wrong folder?

Peter Marbach wrote:
No, there is no entry. Is it normal that .bundles look like a normal folder?
FCP plugins are elegant gray Lego block seen from a corner, they have the FCP logo on one face and FX on another.
On my system those doodads to which you refer are flat pictures of Lego icons with the word EFFECT in the base but that's because they are identified by the OS as After Effects plugins. They're kind of a deep purplish color.
Not sure what could be wrong with your rig but those bundles should have unbundled and installed themselves. You might try control-clikcing on one and telling it to open with FCP, see what happens. Get Info… and you should be able to change all of them to be recognized by FCP6.
