Thunderbird crashed on viewing an attachment - jpg, pdf

I noticed that my thunderbird was crashing way more often than it used to (it actually never really crashed on me much). I finally realized that the common factor was to view an attachment - jpeg or pdf.
I did the usual testing, running in safe mode, clearing the msf files and even trying a different profile - none of these made any difference. I can save an attachment by dragging it off to the desktop but when I view it (instead of saving) there is a noticeable delay before the item is displayed and after about 2-3 seconds TB crashes. When I start it again the preview pane for messages is on - which I normally have turned off with F8.
At about the same time these crashes started to happen sometimes after windows start my TB comes up without the left folder pane showing and I have to close it and restart to be able to use it. Second start always succeeds.v
Any help would be greatly appreciated because this is driving me crazy.

Thanks for the reply, Matt!
I tried several version of TB and the problem appeared on all of them. One of the crash report with the latest version of TB is

In the meantime I found out that my firefiox installation shows the same behavior: I click on a link (for example a MS doc file) and the answer the dialog save/open with with open in MS Word, MS Word starts and displays the file and shortly thereafter FF crashes. This again is a behavior that only recently started to occur.
I did clear the temp folder and download history, and that made no difference.

  • Provision to attach JPG, PDF or word file in module pool program

    Hi All,
    I am creating a Z-transaction with create, change and display options. The user needs 2 to 3 fields where he/she can attach a google map or a pdf or a word file. Could anyone please suggest how I can go about this such that during creation process the user can attach a file and then the same is displayed in the display screen and a click on that could lead to opening of the map or the pdf file stored on the system. If anyone has done the same, cud you please provide the code also.
    Regards,

    First of all you need to create a conatiner on screen then
    for displaying word document you need to refer class CL_GUI_DOCUMENTS.

  • I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file the email message will crash.

    I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it fails and about 50% of the time when I want to send a standard text massage it will also fail and the email massage crashes. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox web browser. I would rather not switch to a new web browser if I don't have to.
    It seems like what ever the problem is that its related the Safari web browser, because it works fine on the Firefox web browser.
    I think its some kind of plug-in failure because it giving me a LOC ERROR:
    LOC ERROR: Unable to locate localized string for resource ID 5007.
    How can I fix this Plug-in?
    And, yes my softwer is conpletly updated…

    That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

  • E62,can i view/save video /jpg/jpeg/pdf files,can ...

    I want to know whether i can view/save video /jpg/jpeg/pdf files on E62 and whether i can send them as attachments via email.What is the maximum file size i can send via email from E62

    ANSWER FOUND!
    Once I finished composing my question I went back and spent some time to figure out the problem. Rather than choosing the "save as" option, which doesn't work, or attempting to choose "export" (grayed out), the correct option is to choose "export creation", which is near the very bottom of the initial drop down options. That works!  I still think it would make sense to have it as an option in the "save as" area.

  • Attaching JPG files

    I've searched but I am not finding the answer. How do I send an attached JPG or other pic file without the image itself being embedded or visible in the body of the email? This should be easy, but I am embarrased to say I cannot find out how to do this. I do this all the time on my work PC.

    Jim,
    You need not be embarrassed. However, what you are concerned about, is a needless (useless) concern, if the JPEG (or other photo files) are being attached, by normal means. What appears as embedding to you, is not, but rather is only what is called View in Place, and only applies to how you see the message.
    Whether the recipients sees the photos with View in Place (or also called Inline View), is not under your control. It is totally under the control of the recipient's email program -- some, such as Thunderbird, have a preference as to whether to permit View Inline, but again this is not under the control of the Sender.
    For best result, place all attachments AFTER any text, and do no typing after they are attached. Also, for some Windows email clients, such as Outlook Express and Outlook, it is probably best to send using Plain Text and not Rich Text. With all attachments following text, this will mesh best with all types of email clients used by the recipients. In certain situation, RTF, together with mixed fonts and attachments, is converted to HTML, and the recipient may see the attachments as "embedded", whether they are in the strictest sense, or not. but this is limited only to certain email programs, as noted above.
    Ask any questions, or provide any additional info that may be useful.

  • In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

    In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

    I attached a .doc file to the message and it appeared as an icon, so I did not have to convert it. I attached a .jpg image — it appeared as a full image, but when I Command+clicked the image, the view as icon window did not appear on the screen. Likewise, I again checked the Mail Menu Bar, and did see 'View as icon.' Side note: I routinely use Mavericks Mail in Classic Mode, so I decided to try both modes. Same results in both modes. I checked my Mail Preferences, but couldn't find anything there, either. I'll continue to look around, but this has me stumped. Thanks for your assistance.  

  • Email attachments download as ashx for Microsoft Outlook, instead of jpg, pdf, doc, etc. Tried to fix in Preferences Applications but still doesn't work.

    Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Downloaded Firefox 8 on 11/9/11 and now Microsoft Outlook Web App 2010 downloads all email attachments as "attachment.ashx" instead of jpg, pdf, etc. This was not a problem with previous Firefox releases which I've been using for the past couple of years. Can open files if I edit the extension to the proper variety (ashx to jpg for example), but no longer initially automatically opens. Instead I first get a "can't open this file" message.  Attempted to fix in Firefox > Preferences > Applications by indicating the proper "Actions" for various "Content Types" but this had no effect. Chrome and Safari browsers still work properly. How can I fix this?

  • When adding a PDF file to a New Message in Mail it does not show up as an icon link, the entire document appears. How can you attach a PDF without the entire document displaying itself?

    After scanning a document, I save the file in a PDF format. When attaching the PDF file to a New message it appears on the entire page instead of a PDF icon link that the recipient can click on to open. Why can't I get the PDF file to appear in a icon format? Thank you.

    Control mouse click the document and select View as icon.

  • How can I attach a PDF in an email, using javascript in PDF document?

    How can I attach a PDF in an email, using an interactive button in the PDF-document?
    I tried to create a form button with the menu action 'attach this PDF in an email'.
    This Send.to-action doesn't work with Microsoft.
    Does anyone has a solution by implementing a javascript-code for this in the PDF?

    Dick,
    Thanks for your replie.
    Nice alternative, but it still doesn't work on a Windows machine when the
    mail software from Microsoft doesn't react on PDF actions.
    You can do many things in Acrobat, but it is a problem when it doesn't work
    on Windows and iPad.
    So now I am looking for alternatives like  interactive magazine software
    (based on html5).

  • I am unable to attach a PDF file from Documents

    I am unable to access and attach a PDF file from Documents

    I assume you are trying to attach a PDF to an email. I can perform this task several ways.
    With a Finder window open and the PDF showing in that window, drag the PDF to the Mail app icon on the dock. This creates a new email and attaches the PDF to it. (PDFs tend to attach in inline view mode, that is you can see the entire document. To see it as a file icon right click on the PDF text and select View as Icon.)
    I can drag the PDF directly into an open new email message if both the email message and the PDF file can be seen.
    There's an icon on the Mail toolbar that looks like a paper clip. Click on it to get a file selector and drill down until you see the PDF. Select it and click OK.
    Select Attachments from the Edit menu and choose Attach file to end of message

  • HT204365 I have many PDFs in my iBooks , but I cannot transfer them out or email them? I'm trying to view them in a PDF reader but its as if these docs are permanently stuck in there even though everything is stored in iCloud.  I can't figure this out.

    My PDFs stored in iBooks cannot be transferred out reviewed by other apps this is very frustrating because I have many manuals documents and check list all in iBooks but it seems that once you choose to "open in iBooks" this document is now stuck trapped inside here and I am unable to view any of these PDFs with a more dance PDFReader.
    Yes I'm enabled iCloud on both my PDFReader's and in my iPad for my documents.  I can't even select one of my PDFs to transfer into my dropbox or another cloud storage device so again these documents which I've collected over the last few months or now trapped in this horrible PDF reading program.

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.
