Reader 9.0 on Firefox

I'm using Firefox 3.0.5 and I've downloaded Reader 9.0, but when I try to open any kind of PDF file from the web, I get the following error:
C:\DOCUME~1\owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\PdfServlet-5.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.
In my Options menu, the Applications tab shows that Reader 9.0 is set as the default for all Adobe PDF docs.
What could be going wrong?
I'm running WinXP SP3.
Thanks much for any advice!

Make sure that 'Adobe Acrobat Document' is set to 'Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)'.

  • Opening Adobe Acrobat/Reader (1:1) in Firefox

    Hello all,
    I realise this thread is very similar to others on this forum but having followed the posts and possible solutions I still cannot come to a successful outcome. Hopefully someone can help.
    Firstly the error: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)
    This occurs when trying to launch a pdf from within an internet page.
    I have version 10.1.2 of Adobe Reader
    I am running Firefox version 10.0
    I have attempted to uninstall and then reinstall Adobe, unchecked the enable protection mode in Adobe Reader X general settings and even tried tinkering with the registry edits but alas I still receive the above error message each time.
    Could someone please provide an initial step-by-step problem solving approach to see where fault lies with my Adobe, bearing in mind the version of Reader and Firefox I have?
    Many, many thanks.

    After a third uninstall and re-install I've managed to crack it.
    Thanks anyhow everyone.

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

    Go to Options>Applications>click on, in your case, Adobe Acrobat entries and select "Use Adobe Acrobat(in Firefox)" or as you wish.

  • Where can I read the proxy settings Firefox chose, when configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network"?

    Hello Richard,
    Download MozBackup and make a backup of your bookmarks and passwords. Uninstall firefox and remove ALL folders with the name "Firefox".
    Install Firefox and restore your bookmarks and passwords. Now you should have a fresh install so you have to make all settings again.

  • On a Mac I want to use Preview as default to read PDF's, and Firefox won't let me use anything but Adobe Reader. How to change?

    It had been working properly until recently. I have tried the usual setting in firefox>preferences>applications. It accepts Preview as default, but uses Adobe anyway. If I set it to Ask, it does ask me, and when I tell it to use Preview it uses Adobe.
    Desired default operation is download PDF's and open with Preview.

    The file that stores your preferences for how to open downloads is named mimeTypes.rdf. Since it has a somewhat inscrutable format, the usual remedy is to rename it and have Firefox generate a new one.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show in Finder" button
    Leaving Finder open, switch back to Firefox and Quit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Restart Firefox and reselect your preference. Any improvement?

  • Does Adobe Reader plugin work in Firefox 11 if launched from Gnome?

    Sorry to cross post, but I couldn't figure out how to move my post from the "Adobe Reader" forum to the "Adobe Reader for Unix" forum.
    If I launch Firefox (version 11) from the command line (Linux shell), then I can open a PDF with the Adobe Reader plugin.  But if I launch Firefox from the desktop or panel in Gnome, I get the message "Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.1.0. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment.  If the problem persists, please reinstall the application."
    acroread is in the PATH variable - I checked ("which acroread" and "echo $PATH")
    We are using acroread 9.3.2.  We tried updating to the latest acroread 9.4.something ...? but the SendMail option was missing from Edit->Preferences, so we reverted to 9.3.2.
    We are using Debian Linux 5.0.8.
    It is very convenient and user-friendly in our library for visitors to be able to view a PDF in the browser (with the plugin) and to be able to just click on the envelope icon from there to send a PDF.
    This was working fine until we upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.4.  We reverted to 9.3.2, and everything was working fine again.  Then our systems people did some things, including updating Mozilla Firefox from version 3.6.13 to version 11.  Then the plugin stopped working from the Gnome launch panel.  I tried running the old Firefox 3.6.13 from the Gnome launch panel, but the plugin no longer works in it, either.
    Has anyone had this problem?
    Sometimes running Firefox from the command line gives some errors.  I tried various versions of nppdf.so and tried toggling the about:config variable "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nppdf.so" but nothing changed.

    I have the same or a very similar issue on WIn7 64bit

  • How do I get Acrobat Reader to work with Firefox again? I'ver tried everything that I can find in the Help area.

    A while back now I lost use of Acrobat Reader's loading feature while in Firefox. I have tried all of the suggestions that I can find in the Help Menu, on blogs, etcetera, and nothing has worked to re-enable it. The Acrobat Reader seems to work fine from all other browsers, and from the Start Menu. I just can't get it to work with Mozilla.

    I solved this problem by looking at the plug-ins I had in 5.0 and found that I had two versions of Adobe - a V8 and a V10 enabled. I disabled the V8 and it all works fine now.

  • Problem with Adobe Reader 9.1.3/Firefox plugin

    After applying the Reader 9.1.3 update on our Windows XP computers (using Firefox 3.5.2), some PDFs downloaded will not load properly using the web browser plugin.  An example is at
    http://apply07.grants.gov/apply/opportunities/packages/oppONRBAA09-029-cfda12.300-cidONRBA A09-029.pdf
    Saving this PDF to disk and opening directly with Reader 9.1.3, Acrobat 9.1.3 or Acrobat 8.1.3 seems to work fine.  Opening the document using Internet Explorer 7 with the Reader plugin enabled also seems to work fine.
    I do not have information on how these PDF files are generated.  Tech support staff at grants.gov suggested to downgrade to Adobe Reader 9.1.2 to get around this particular issue.
    If you know of a way to get around this issue with any sort of system configuration on our end (registry key settings, etc.), please let me know.

    I have just clicked on the link above (Windows XP-SP3, Firefox 3.5.2, Adobe Reader 9.1.3), and it appears to display exactly the same as the downloaded file in Adobe Reader.  I cannot see any difference.
    My version of Adobe Reader was installed with the download that does not contain Adobe AIR & Acrobat.com: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.1/enu/AdbeRdr910_en_US.exe, then upgraded to 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.3 - I don't know if this would make a difference.

  • The same problem again with HP Simple Pass fingerprint reader after upfrading from Firefox 4 to Firefox 5. I have already installed HPSimPlePass 7.0.74.0 to fix the problem after upgrading to Firefox 4.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 with a fingerprint reader. I had the same problem as many other people when upgrading to Firefox 4, : I couldn't use the HP Simple Pass to enter a website needing a username and password by just swiping my fingerprint. I fixed the problem by downloading the new HPSimPlePass 7.0.74.0. This fixed the problem and I was very happy. Since upgrading to Firefox 5 I have the same problem again, but I already have the new version of HP Simple Pass. How can this be fixed so that I can use this fingerprint scan feature again, or where can I download Firefox 4 again?

  • Repeated notification that "Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in" in Firefox is "out of date" after the upgrade is downloaded and installed.

    I have tried to update the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, along with the plug-in in Firefox v37.0.1. Repeatedly, after the download/installation is "complete", upon opening Firefox I'm met with the message that the "Adobe Acrobat plug-in" is "out of date". I tried rebooting my machine, uninstalling Acrobat Reader DC (which works as a stand-alone), and still the plug-in is never updated (the one listed is from early December 2014) and the reminder always reappears with opening Firefox. Can anyone help with this?

    Sorry about the issue which you are facing. It would be helpful if you could share the firefox notification message screenshot.
    Also, please check that the firefox plugins show the correct Adobe Acrobat Reader DC plugin. If possible, please share the firefox plug in screenshot as well.

  • On a page reading and close it to go to another page to read and without prompt - firefox returns to a screen I clicked off and closed. How can I stop this?

    This is true also for browsing on the internet. Should I uninstall Firefox?

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • Open PDF file with Adobe Reader - Asks me what Firefox should do - every time

    Hi,
    Everytime I want to open a PDF file, Firefox asks me 'What should Firefox do with this file'.
    I have Open WIth Adobe Reader (default) selected and I have the 'Do this automatically...' box checked.
    So it seems to me that Firefox should not ask me every time.

    Hi - I don't want it to always ask; I want it to never ask.
    Having said that, I changed my option setting to 'always ask' and the next time I tried to open a PDF document, the dialog box opened asking me what to do. The 'Do this automatically...' box was unchecked as expected.
    I checked the 'Do this automatically...' box and now Firefox no longer asks.
    Weird way to solve the problem, but it appears to work fine now.
    Thanks
