PDF won't open in browser window - think it's Adobe, not FF

Hello! I have Windows 7, 64 bit, Firefox 20.0.1 and Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, both with the same problem. I have Adobe Reader 11.0.2. Earlier today I was able to open PDFs in the browser tab, this evening not so much. I am not sure what changed - to my knowledge I didn't get anything updated today. I have checked all my settings and can't figure out what's wrong. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program. The only thing I couldn't find after extensive Googling of the issue is that my Adobe Reader lacks the button that is referenced in a lot of posts for "display PDF in browser" is missing. I've included a screenshot.
In addition, in Firefox there used to be an option "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", but now there's just "Use Adobe Reader (default)" or other pdf readers (and I *hate* Firefox's pdf reader). I haven't gone too deep into IE's options since I don't use it hardly at all.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Linda

You may have used the 32-bit IE edition previously.
On Windows 7, if opened from the Task Bar, it will open 32-bit. From the Start Menu it will open 64-bit.
Open Help | About Internet Explorer to see if you are using the 32-bit or 64-bit edition.

After installing the safari update for windows, outlook is now not opening email hyperlinks. I have set safari to be my default browser but outlook won't open it when I click a link. I get the following message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Please help.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

Won't open any browser windows

I just installed firefox version 6.0.2
My system:
Mac os X version 10.6.8
I have an imac model 7.1 with an intel core 2 duo processor
When I start up the browser the browsing window does not open. It also does not open when I try to open it using the menu.
The only window I've been able to open has been the "About Firefox" window.
I was able to open it in "Safe Mode". I tried disabling all add-ins and plugins but that didn't work.

You can try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] with all add-ons disabled to see if that fixes the problem. If it does,, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Are your plugins updated?

applet-instruction but it opens the html page in a new window. I have already proved changing the "_blank" parameter for "_self" or "_parent" but stills the same: it's opened in a new window. Does anybody could help me please?
Thanks

PDFs won't open in Safari; blank screen with Quicktime logo opens instead

When I click on a link to a PDF file within a Safari browser window, the PDF file does not open (in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader) as desired, or as it once did. Rather, now a new window opens with a Quicktime logo showing agains an otherwise blank white field and no other info is present. I can't seem to open any PDF files from any web source, nor can I right click to download them to my computer for opening later. I have read other postings on this subject, and upon opening my library/internet plug-ins folder, I find that no plug-ins at all are present.
How can I get Safari to open PDFs normally? I can't seem to find any relevant preference settings in either Safari or Acrobat which have any effect on this problem.
My operating system is 10.3.9, and my version of Safari is 1.3.2. My version of Acrobat reader is 7.0.9, and my version of Acrobat is 5.0.5. Thanks for any advice...!

Pdf won't open because creative cloud membership expired

My creative cloud membership expired.
Now on that computer, PDF files won't open, a popup window opens says my creative cloud membership expired.
I didn't know Acrobat was tied to CreativeCloud.
Can someone help me understand this?

If you did not buy a perpetual license for CS6 then any program you RENT via the Cloud stops working when you stop paying rent

Opening modal browser windows

I have a question concerning opening modal browser windows.
The UIX framework provides a javascript function called "openWindow". E.g. the ui:dateField uses this function to open it's separate browser window.
The good thing using this function is, that the opener browser window gets shadowed and isn't accessible anymore.
Therefore I also want to use this function to open my own modal windows. The problem here is that any postback in the modal window enables the opener window again.
Interesting point is, that the date picker for a ui:dateFields also performs postbacks but the opener window stays shadowed.
How can I perform postbacks in my own modal window and keep the opener window disabled?
How does it work when using the date picker?

Christian -
I can provide some background about how the modal date picker window deals with this issue - and I think that you can use the same technique...
The UIX body component has a built-in unload handler that gets called when the page is unloaded - for example, when you post data in your modal window. The unload handler will check to see if the page is a modal child of its parent window - and if so, will re-enable the parent window (the assumption here is that once the page has been unloaded, the modal child will be hidden).
The solution that UIX uses for the date picker window is to place the contents of the child window inside of a frame set. The actual contents of the window are embedded inside of a frame inside of the frame set. That way, when you navigate inside of the child window, the body's built-in unload handler is still called - but, it no longer enables the parent window, since the body is no longer a child of the parent window - but is a child of the frame set.
I think that you can implement a similar solution by embedding your modal window contents inside of a UIX frameBorderLayout component.

Open a browser-window and show an Internetpage of a certain URL

Is there any class or package with a member, that can open a Browser-window and show an Internetpage of a certain URL?

open a browser window: not sure you can do that ; though you can try with Runtime.exec() but you will have to choose the browser that should open and if the comp does not have it you're stuffed
read the content of an URL: i think you can do that with methods of URLConnection class :)

Mail 6.3 will not close and won't open an interactive window

A day or so ago I tried deleting about 4 messages off mail and then shut the app. A note came up and stated the messages could not be sent to the delete folder and then proceeded to close the window but the application remained as opened. I tried to quit the app from the dock but it wouldn't close it. I then tried shutting the system down and mail stopped it from closing. I have a Mac Book Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and tried to let the battery drain to let shut down that way to no avail. I've tried opening another window in Mail but it won't open a functional window (preview screen will not display highlighted message). How do I force a close or bring mail back to use it properly?

Error message after update "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be

My daughter just did an update and got the following error message: "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again.
Any thoughts or tips as to what happened?

Just a few pieces of clarifying information... This is Safari on OS X you're talking about, right? Also, what update did your daughter install? Have you tried reinstalling Safari (you can download it from Apple's site)?

Opening a browser window

My issue is as follows:
Our application consists of images and forms. We display the image in an image viewer, on left half of the screen and the form on the right half.
When we display the image in a browser using web.show_document the image gets displayed fine but the focus remains on the newly opened browser window. The user has to click into the form to start entering information from the image into the form, losing valuable time in a high volume processing environment.
Is there a way other than using web.show_document (foreign functions/Java/any other technology) that will allow me to open a browser window from the form and then send the control back to the form?
Thanks

New Window Opening Behind Browser Window

I have produced a page in DW3 for an artist where you click
on a thumbnail and it opens a new window with an enlargement of
that image. (I use the DW3 javascript behaviour to do this).
When I test it on my browsers the windows open in front of
the main browser window and all is hunky dory.
When my client does the same, she claims that some of the
windows open in front of the main browser window but some open
behind the browser window and are obscured. She says she perceives
a "flash" if the new window opens behind the browser window. She is
using Firefox 2.0.9.17
Has anyone experienced this behaviour and figured out a
fix?

Usually the user/browser decides where new windows/tabs will
be opened.
But why open a new window at all? Why not use something like
Litebox?

Opening new browser window

Hi,
this piece of code use to work for opening a new browser, but now it has problem in opening browser window. There is no exception thrown, can anyone has suggestion whats wrong in this. I am using JRE1.3. I have a feeling that something is conflicting with IE (I tried on 5.0,5.5,6.0)
thanks
Syed
try
URL url = new URL(urlString);
applet.getAppletContext().showDocument(url, "_blank");
} // End of Try
catch(MalformedURLException e)
logs("Exception in opening new browser window: " + e);
} // End of Catch

Same here.
Worked fine under IE5.x to IE6, JRE 1.3.x to 1.4. OS used were W2k and WinXP, no prob here.
Now on some PCs the windows don't pop up anymore. No exception, no indicator of what's going wrong.
Any hints?

Any way to open new browser window without using image maps?

Is there any way to open new browser window without using image maps? My code works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. There are 2 problems in IE: 1st is that the thumbnail images move up within their own borders & 2nd that when you click on an image it does open up a new browser window, but also redirects to the index page (in this case it's just a placeholder index page - the new one I've called index_new.html for the time being).
Here is the link:
http://www.susieharperdesigns.com/gallery_beads.html
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your missing a value on the HREF. In your code you have this:
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href=" " onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
</map></div>
and it should be this:
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
</map></div>
If you fix the code on all your beads, it should work.
