Uninstalling plug-ins for Safari, but not Firefox

Hi all,
I've been driving myself kind of nuts over this. Is there a way for a plug-in to be installed only for Firefox and not Safari? I like the built-in PDF reader in Safari, but I want the Schubert-IT PDF browser plug-in for Firefox. Both browsers share the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder, but it seems weird that we can't be selective in terms of which browser gets what.
If nothing else, is there maybe a Safari configuration file hiding somewhere that can be edited to exclude certain plug-ins?
Thanks,
Tim

The issue is that it's how you have it setup  for PDF files.
Right or control click a PDF file you have stored on the hard drive then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel look for: Open with
All applications are set to open with a particular PDF viewer.

    I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-ins were still presented but no programs opened, of course. after reinstalling the plug-ins one of the programs appeared twice in the list but not the others. I´m going to reinstall them again and I´m wondering if there is anyway of erasing the links to the plug-ins under "photo" and "edit in" ???

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox NEED HELP!!!

    Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox, all my text goes out of alignment and the fonts look like different sizes. Please let me know your thoughts. Here is a link to the page I'm having problems with. http://www.alexandrasantibanez.com/bio.html

    I had the same problem for days what a waste of time trying
    to figure out code... the code was fine. I was running flash player

    Firefox and IE. It did for me.

  • Missing extensions/plug-ins for Safari.

    So, I recently had a virus/malware scare and to take care of it (which I did) I got rid of all extensions/plug ins for Safari.
    I've currently only got Adobe Flash Player, and nothing else which is really hindering me. I've looked all over but I can't find out what the plug-ins or extensions I need are.
    The most recent issue was something about Audio Midi when I couldn't play an audio thing online while looking for guitar chords stuff.
    After that gave it a shot by asking Apple, but the closest Apple store is too far to be worth driving to and I can't afford $50 or however much it is to get the info/links/whatever I need.

    There's no need to install Safari extensions if you don't wan to, however, there might want to check out the extensions gallery. You may find something useful.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari Extensions ...
    To avoid malware, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
    Make sure:  Mac App Store and identified developers  is selected.
    If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • Plug-Ins for Safari and Firefox

    I'm a new MAC owner (as of last week as a matter of fact) so bear with me.......
    I had to download Firefox since I got the message that Safari didn't support the new Yahoo Mail Beta.
    Then I decided to check out my MACBook Pro's video capabilities by going to the CBS web page to watch The Unit (go to http://www.cbs.com/ and click 'Full Episodes'.....)
    I got the following error:
    The page “CBS.com - Innertube” has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    Can anyone help me find the appropriate plug-in? What additional plug-ins should I install while I'm at it (Active-X, Java, etc.)?
    BTW, I get an error with Firefox as well telling me that additional plug-ins are required, but the automatic (Firefox) search tells me that no suitable plug-ins were found.
    Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Wow, I had no idea it would be that simple.
    Normally with my PC, if an update was needed the error message would instruct to download the newest version of Flash, Real, etc.
    I figured with the cryptic error message I got from Firefox and Safari that I needed some 'plug-in.'
    Thanks! Problem solved......

  • Photo Gallery - works in Safari but not Firefox .. ?

    Hi,
    I have a photo gallery at http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Photos.html
    When I go into the albums, pictures are displayed in Safari but not on Firefox.
    When creating this page on iWeb I selected 'Web Gallery' instead of 'Album'. Does this make any difference?
    Regards.

    I have just visited "http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Pages/KartingEdgeRound-1.html" using both Safari Version 3.0.4 (523.12) and Firefox version 2.0.0.9 on a G4 PB 10.4.11. And both browsers displayed the same information from what I can see. All the pictures revealed themselves.
    Have I picked the correct album for your example?
    I tried other area's of your web site and all appeared to be the same as the Safari. Maybe you need to clear your cache.

  • Links working in Safari but not Firefox

    Hi friends,
    I'm hoping someone can help this confused amateur (aka me) get my website to work correctly. The site works fine in Safari -- but in Firefox, the internal links do not work (external links are OK). I suspect it has something to do with defining the pathways within the directory, but beyond that I'm lost.
    Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm pretty sure it's a simple fix for someone who know what they're doing
    Here's the site: www.thefourglobaltruths.com
    The problematic links are under the banner, specifically "about the author," "links," "schedule," and "interviews."
    BTW, I'm using a Macbook Pro, 10.6.8, and CS5...if any of that matters.
    Many thanks in advance!

    Is this website around 10+ years old?
    It contains ancient, invalid code long past due for an update. It's a bit of a time machine.
    Have you heard of validating code? It's a quick and easy method of checking if your code can be read properly by a browser.
    If you put the address of the author page into http://validator.w3.org/
    You will get 26 errors
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefourglobaltruths.com%2Fauthor.html&c harset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

  • I apologize if this is a repeat -- I can't find if my question has been posted, but all traffic received through SAFARI (but not FIREFOX) quoting prices has the latter in EUROS, not US Dollars. Figures in my outgoing Email appear to the recepient in Dolla

    I apologize if this is a repeat, but I can't tell if my question has been posted.
    For the past several weeks, all incoming traffic via Safari 5.0.5, but not Firefox,containing cost/price figures appear in Euros, not US Dollars. My responses, however, are received correctly in US Dollars. Wierd, and irritating.  Any ideas?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Nokia offers FREE plug-ins for some devices not supported by iSync 2.4

    Nokia is now offering free plug-ins for otherwise unsupported Nokia mobile handsets in Mac OS X 10.4.9 and iSync 2.4 configurations. All support both Bluetooth and USB synchronization, and work only with Mac OS X 10.4.9 and iSync 2.4, bundled with it. The plug-ins listed below can be downloaded from Nokia here:
    http://www.nokia.com/A4299040
    Supported models include the…
    • E50
    • E60
    • E61i
    • E65
    • E70
    • N76
    • N93i
    • N95

    That's a good point, and I should have taken the time to point that out.
    It's not particularly important that Nokia has chosen to offer free plug-ins for a limited number of their mobile handsets not presently supported by iSync. The really important thing here is that a manufacturer has actually chosen to support the technology at all!
    I do support a vibrant developer community, and think that Nova Media and others who have taken the time to create plug-ins and, who continue to support them, deserve to be compensated for their efforts. It worth noting that Nova Media was out front with support for Nokia mobile handsets about a year before Nokia itself chose to offer support. And, as Jan points out, they continue to support units that Nokia itself does not.

  • Font face="army" works in my editing program for IE but not firefox

    font face="army" works fine in IE but not firefox when using my website editing program
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == everytime

    If you check Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K) it'll tell you any errors it's finding and the line of code it's finding it on.
    The problem it seems to be having up front is that IDs are case-sensitive - "layer02" is not the same as "Layer02", for example.
    There may be further errors once it's past that, but all the current browsers come with the tools you need to weed out any further issues.

  • Missing Plug-ins for Safari?

    OK this is exhausting!
    After downloading Adobe Reader I'm unable to open PDF's as it claims Plug-ins are missing?
    Where do I find them, how is this resolved and is there an alternative to adobe?
    why is there no customer service phone number??
    Please help

    There are no plug-ins for iOS Safari. Are you actually using a Mac?
    You want a phone number for support on FREE software? That's optimistic.

    Hi ...
    Could be the flashback trojan.. if it is, it's not difficult to remove.
    Install this update >  Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8
    That should remove variants of the trojan. Restart your Mac after the update is installed, try Safari.
    If it still crashes, run this removal tool >  Flashback Removal Tool - F-Secure Weblog : News from the Lab
    If that didn't help at all, check out these folders >   ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins  and  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
    If you see that plugin, move it to the Trash.
    When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. The more details you provide, the easier to help you
