PDF Viewer plugin for Firefox 4 on Mac

Firefox 4 on Mac would not come with a plugin for pdf viewing, you need to install the file below (just copy and paste in your browser and allow to install):
http://firefox-mac-pdf.s3.amazonaws.com/fx-quartz-pdf-1.2.0.xpi
(you need to run Firefox in 32 bit mode ! go to applications, select Firefox and open "get info", check box for 32 bit mode)

https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142064?hl=en
Those links have more info on Chrom plugins and how to enable or disable them.
From the first link:
By default, Chrome uses a built in viewer to open PDFs. If you've disabled the built-in PDF viewer, Chrome will use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to display PDFs. Follow the suggestions at the first link if you're having trouble viewing PDFs within Chrome, using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
First check if the issue is specific to Chrome. Try opening PDFs in another browser on your computer, such as Firefox. If you experience similar problems viewing PDFs in another browser, the issue is likely not related to Chrome.

Why is there no Adobe PDF browser plugin for Firefox?

Firefox has just under 23% market share of the global internet broswer market and is second to IE. Is there a technical reason as to why Adobe hasn't built a plugin or Add-on for Firefox?? Firefox is open source so it can't be any sort of licensing or rights issue. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
To avoid wasted airtime, please refrain from replying with "Adobe X can do it". I've seen that in a few old posts from what seems to be a cavalier Adobe employee. This has to do with Adobe Acrobat functionality with Firefox, regardless of version. I run Windows 7 64 bit with Acrobat 9. Thanks

Please re-read the initial post
I have read the post.
You question was:
Is there a technical reason as to why Adobe hasn't built a plugin or Add-on for Firefox??
My answer:
Acrobat X comes with a add-on for Firefox.

Is there a PDF viewer plugin for flash?

We are building a tool to view documents that currently exist as PDF files and will view future (yet to be created) PDF files.
I'd like this tool to be a Flash based tool, however I've heard that there is no PDF viewer for Flash, is this still true with the latest version or future versions to come?
I am familiar with the ability to convert PDF to SWF and view SWF files via a Flashpaper viewer... however :
1) We ran into a limitation with SWF files in that interdocument links and internet links originally in the PDF do not work in SWF/Flashpaper - a showstopper.
2) The version of Flash we reviewed for this might have been old and not bleeding edge. The tool we are building would be best developed if it could display the already 1000s of created PDF files it will be used to view instead of having to convert each one initially and then in batch mode for new PDFs.
Thanks for any clues or suggestions on this.
John

To clarify, this tool is being developed as a standalone flash player tool and not a browser based tool.

How can I find a PDF plug in for Firefox 5 running on Mac OSX (10.6)

I recently installed an Update and received a message that my PDF Plug In for Firefox would be disabled, but that when the Update had been installed the Plug in would be enabled. This has not happened.
I am running Firefox 5 on Mac OSX (10.6)

I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

I have repeatibly loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update. While the plug in check is important it is quite bothersome at present. Please help.

EVERY TIME the browser boots it kicks off the plug in check. I understand that this is important but it is currently a pain. Once I update Adobe Acrobat Plug in the browser does not recognize that the plug in has been installed and keeps coming up and up an up an up.
This is the message I get.
Adobe Acrobat

Please get back with me regarding a fix.

Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

deleting the adobe plugins in Library worked for me:

Acrobat Pdf viewer Plugin Doesn't work Mozilla Products

Mountain Lion (OSX.8.2)
500 GB Hard Drive rought 200 GB left empty
Intel i7 2.8 GHZ Processor
8 GB System RAM.
In Acrobat and Reader XI (and X as well) the PDF viewer Plugin does not work. In fact it doesn't does not even show up in the Addons > Plugins.
There are three, only one appears:
The Adobe PDFViewerNPAPI.plugin only shows up.
When I try to open a PDF in any Browser that use Mozilla's Gecko engine. Just see a Bright white Screen.
I don't use Chrome or Safari on Principle. But have tested and works fine.
Other Browsers that use webkit works just fine.
Since posting this to Plugins which no one has even read. (group appears non functioning) I decided to post here.
Just to make make sure another Plugin is not interfering I removed all my Plugins and just installed the the three Plugins above. Same issue. According to addons > Plugins
only the NPAPI plugin exist.
I've posted a Bug report once again Like I have been doing on this problem since the switch from OSX.1 on Up for acrobat/Reader every new version that comes out.
Maybe someone that knows what the problem is can let me know what to fix.

Where are they advertising it? Perhaps there's more up to date information but I look in
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html - maybe the problem is that I'm looking at Reader, not Acrobat?

Did Adobe Acrobat/reader stop providing browser integrated PDF viewing(addin) for Internet Explorer?

Did Adobe acrobat and reader stop providing browser integrated PDF viewing capability for Internet Explorer?
Hi, I have been trying to view PDF's directly on my browser (Internet Explorer 9). We used to be able to have this available. To be honest last configuration that did work was Internet Explorer 8 with Adobe Acrobat 7. But I recently tried with Intenet Explorer 9 with Adobe Acrobat X and did not work as expected (I tried to activate the add in for Adobe but the adobe addin for PDF did not show up) I have the following questions:
1) Do you still provide PDF's viewing capabilties on Internet Explorer?
2) If yes: Is there a propper Add-in we (users) are able to install for Internet Explorer?
3) if yes: Do we require to have Adobe Acrobat to have this capability? (this was my experience with IE8 and Adobe Acrobat 7)
Additional Info:
There seems to be an addin for Chrome wich works as expected (opens PDF in browser) to this current date. This does not happen on IE.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using the 64-bit edition of Internet Explorer?
The Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugin is 32-bit, and will not work on a 64-bit browser.

PDF Viewer support for PDF Highlight annotations

Hello. The built-in PDF viewer installed with Firefox 19 does not appear to support PDF Highlight annotations. Is there a time frame for implementing this annotation type? Thanks.

I quickly looked at the list of [https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues?labels=&milestone=&page=1&state=open hundreds of open issues] for the PDF viewer project, but couldn't figure out what was happening with highlight annotations.

PDF Plug-in for Firefox on Macintosh Copy & Paste

PDF Plug-in for Firefox on Macintosh needs to allow for copy and paste functionality using the keyboard instead of only working with a mouse click when filling out online forms.

Yes, it's an identical copy (incl. version, dates and digitally-signed certs) as far as I can see on all these 3 folders located at C:\Program files\
-> Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Browser -> nppdf32.dll
-> Mozilla Firefox\plugins -> nppdf32.dll
-> Internet Explorer\PLUGINS -> nppdf32.dll <--- This folder and file
Please also note that IE Activex controls (3 files - also at version 9.5.2.295) are located at C:\Program files\Common files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\
-> AcroPDF.dll (PDF Browser Control)
-> AcroIEHelper.dll (Adobe PDF Helper for Internet Explorer) and
-> AcroIEHelperShim.dll
Weird indeed! Any ideas?

I use sites with pdf's a lot. Why isn't pdf viewing built into Firefox? The extensions can't keep up with your rapid upgrade program.

How to enable dragging of playhead in QuickTime plugin for Firefox?

I have a problem with QuickTime plug-in 7.7.1 for Firefox on Mac OS 10.7.5. I am unable to drag the playhead to some arbitrary point in the middle of a quicktime video. The plugin prevents the playhead from moving to any point beyond the prefix of the video that has been downloaded until then.
I have no problem dragging the playhead to any point on Safari or on an iphone.
If I disable the plug-in opting instead to start QuickTime in a separate window, Firefox either (1) downloads the entire video before invoking QuickTime, or (2) starts the QuickTime video playback right away but, if the playhead is dragged to the middle of the video, the video/audio freezes but the timer continues to tick away. Whether 1 or 2 happens seems to be somewhat non-deterministic.

If right-clicking doesn't work, it could indicate that the site is intercepting and blocking Firefox's regular context menu. Some sites are cheeky and show you a copyright notice when you right-click.
You can change a setting so that you always get Firefox's right-click context menu. If the site has its own menu, Firefox's will appear in front of it. To access the site's menu after making this change, you have to carefully dismiss Firefox's menu with a single press of the Esc key. (I think I've only seen one site where ''both'' menus disappear when I press Esc, so it nearly always works.)
Want to try it?
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''context''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''dom.event.contextmenu.enabled''' preference to switch it from true (sites can detect and re-place the right-click menu) to false (they can't).
Does that help?

PDF Plug-In For Firefox found at my IE Program Folder?

Hi:
During recent troubleshooting of my Adobe Reader 9.5.2 update's installation, I found a 'PLUGINS' folder containing a copy of the 'Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox (nppdf32.dll)', located at my Internet Explorer Program's files folder.
I wonder what would a Plugin for Firefox be possibly doing with my IE's files?
Does anybody know or have seen this?
Thanks in advance.
