TweetDeck/Adobe Air not opening URLs in the browser in x86_64 system.

Hi,
I have managed to setup the last version of the (Adobe Air based) TweetDeck application running in my x86_64 and KDE system. I've gone through all the comments in the AUR entry and installed all the relevant lib32 libraries and such, and it appears to all work fine except for one issue.
When I click on a URL contained in a tweet, nothing happens. It does not open the URL in Firefox as I would expect. Clicking on other items such as the user's ID or the posting date also do nothing. (I should mention that I have i686 ArchLinux running on another machine, and it handles all this with TweetDeck/Air no problems.) Now I suspect this is an Adobe Air issue rather than TweetDeck specific, but that is only my suspicion.
I tried running strace on the app, and I can see that at one point it reads the Firefox profiles.ini and the prefs.js for my profile, so I suspect it is trying to do some sort of silly-buggers instead of just launching the /usr/bin/firefox executable with the URL as an argument.
Any ideas on how I can get this working?
Thanks.
E.

Hi ecognito,
what window manager are you using? I had a similar issue with pidgin not opening links in XFCE4 and was able to fix it... but I suspect yours MAY be a different case.

  • Adobe reader will not open documents in the browser. What do I do?

    I do not know anything about technical jargon or anything about add-ons or plug-ins, I just know that typically if I open a PDF file from a website it opens just fine in the browser. However, I am unable to open PDFs inside of Adobe Reader. When I do, the error message reads as follows:
    "Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
    We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
    Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
    To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively. Please contact your browser vendor for more details."
    I have no idea how to fix this, as Adobe Reader is installed and I assume it is installed correctly? Please, any help would be fantastic.

    Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

  • PDF's in Acrobat Reader X will not open when using the browser, Internet explorer opertes all ok? Mozella 4 is the default browser! Windows XP Home ed with all latest updates!

    When using the Mozella Firefox 4 browser and the NEW version Adobe Reader X, PDF's online will not ever open. After 1-3 minuites, I eventually get a message the Adobe reader is running, but need to close and try again! I get same results when trying again.
    Internet Explorer operates and opens the online PDF's all ok and the Adobe Reader X seems to operate all else ok!
    I think, but not sure, that this issue appeared when the Adobe Reader updated from the older version 9 or so to the NEW Adobe Reader X version about 1 or 2 weeks ago, but not sure. I just remember that Mozella always worked ok previously to the Adobe Reader X version for opening online PDF's last month, etc.
    Note that I said that Internet Explorer browser operates ok Using the New automatically upgraded Adobe Reader X for viewing PDF"S! (adobe notified me that the new version 10 (X) was available for updating, etc) I also just discovered that google chrome browser opens the online PDF's ok!
    I have not trying re-storing the computer to the previous month, etc, since the issue seems to be with Mozella not liking the Adobe Reader X version and Internet Explored browser operating ok!
    Any ideas????

    I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

  • Thunderbird does not open URLs in a browser. A bug?

    Did a fresh install of Arch 0.8.
    Thunderbird 2 came with it. On my workstation URLs within an email-body aren't opened in an external browser.
    Neither in konqueror nor in Firefox. Is this a bug that I should report, or do you all have a working thunderbird?
    thanks

    Thank you, it works
    Though I dropped TB now, using kmail instead, feels a lot snappier and looks better.

  • I want Safari to download PDFs, not open them in the browser

    The subject line pretty much sums it up Whenever I try to download a PDF it opens it up in Safari instead.
    If I open Safari > Preferences > General I can see that the box for "+Open 'safe' files after downloading+" is checked. It also says "Save Downloaded Files to" - and "Downloads" is selected.
    Is there anything that I'm missing? In Firefox if I click on a link for a PDF file then it opens straight away. I've searched the archives on this forum and don't seem to be coming up with anything that works for me.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks
    Is there a way to have this set as the default? My brain is to weary to remember to do this every time

  • Bug report: on LabVIEW 2011 SP1 and Windows 8 'Open URL in default browser.vi'

    Dear colleagues,
    Here is a bug report.
    Culprit: 'Open URL in default browser.vi'.
    System: Windows 8, Professional. LabVIEW 2011 SP1.
    Abnormal behaviour and steps to reproduce:
    Above mentioned VI doesn't work when LabVIEW was started with administrator privilegies. And it works as expected when LabVIEW running in normal (non-administrator) mode. 
    Looking forward to see this fixed.
    Best regards,
    Igor Titov.

    Hi Igor,
    Unfortunately LabVIEW 2011 SP1 does not support Windows 8. I tested this behavior with LabVIEW 2012 SP1 on Windows 8 and everything worked correctly.

    Every time I try to install new product through adobe air I get this message: The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged.

    Finally found a fix on my own....Wasted like 3 hours today. Hope this helps for anyone struggling with that stupid error message:

  • Is anybody else having their Adobe AIR iOS app crash within the first second of opening it?

    Is anybody else having their Adobe AIR iOS app crash within the first second of opening it?
    I am using iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3, with a development certificate.
    With Adobe AIR SDK 16.0.0.283 and now with 17.0.0.93, after compiling the app (whether in release mode or debug mode), before the app getTimer() can ever reach 999 milliseconds the app will crash. No matter what code I have, it is just crashing before the runtime can ever reach the first second.
    Anybody else having this kind of behavior?

    Chris,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. I have found the way to reproduce. It is about interfaces, and when I try to call a method through an interface the app crashes. I think that it is related to having an interface with many parameters. I have logged the bug here:

  • Adobe Reader 9 is not opening same files in Browser "Error in this Page"

    Adobe Reader 9 is not opening same files in Browser "Error in this Page"
    If I try to open this pdf file manually then its works.
    The Error comes if I try to open Big Files or some else Files in the Browser.
    This Error was not comming with Adobe 8.

    To uninstall Adobe Reader, make sure (using Task Manager's Processes tab) that Adobe Reader is not running.  Browser windows should also be closed.
    If you still cannot proceed, try in Safe Mode, or use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.
    P.S. Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com are not directly related to Adobe Reader, and can be uninstalled independently.

  • Mail.app, Link on signature-icon does not open URL

    In a mail-signature I have a FaceBook-icon with a Hyperlink to a FaceBook-site.
    - This link works not in a received message, when the recipient is Mail.app on Yosemite.
    - With Mail.app on Mavericks it works well.
    Behaviour:
    - Double-Click opens the attached picture, but not the URL in the browser, as expected.
    - URL ist shown correctly on MouseOver
    ... sometimes, condition are not reproducible ....it works :-(
    To create the link I used the method as described at.  http://mac-fusion.com/clickable-social-media-icons-in-your-mail-app-signature/
    Can anybody confirm this behavior?
    Any workaround in creating the Hyperlink - or is it a bug?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    I do not not understand why the downloader will not open and finish the install after it downloads - all I get is more advertising junk trying to sell me things I don't need.
