Viewing QTs in Firefox

I have links on my website to mp4 QTS. In Safari, when you click on the link the movie plays in a new window, however in Firefox the movie doesn't play-a window opens asking whether one wants to save the file. Does anyone know how I can get Firefox to play the movie instead?
Thanks.

Whether you know it or not, you have to download a PDF before you can view it; the only difference is that safari is doing a bunch of stuff in the background, and then displays the PDF in the browser window - but without any of the PDF viewer controls.
The bad news is that Mac users are second class citizens when it comes to Firefox; for in-line PDF viewing from Firefox, you have to have a PDF plugin for Mozilla and its family of browsers. Without such a plugin (I know they exist for Windows & Linux... don't know about Mac), you have to download the PDF, and then view it.
Preview doesn't provide this plugin, as Safari other WebKit browsers don't need it. I don't have Adobe's acrobat reader installed, so I can't say if it has a mozilla/firefox plugin.
If you absolutely must view the PDF from the browser for some unfathomable reason (I personally don't see the advantage of having all the pdf viewing controls missing), you can give OmniWeb a try - with OmniWeb, you can set a site-specific preference that will identify the browser as pretty much whatever you want - IE, Safari, Mozilla/Firefox.

  • PDF file doesn't view properly in firefox & favicon doesn't show in Safari

    I've got three issues I could use some advice with.
    1. I used some iFrame code generously posted by Oldtoad that allows a pdf file in an IFrame. It works beautifully in Safari. here's an example: http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/Site/resumeone_page_DavidPhelps.html
    but in Firefox it only opens as a dialog box asking what I want to do with the file (download, etc)
    Is there any way to make this view properly in Firefox?
    2. I've gone through the process to have a favicon in the address box (ico file uploaded with iTweak) and this views great with Firefox, but nothing in Safari (not sure about others) I've deleted the WebpageIcons.db file repeatedly, emptied cache, deleted all my bookmarks for the site, etc.
    Anyone know how to make this work in Safari?
    3. I recently updated my site (from iWeb 06) using iWeb 08 and published. A lot of search links got broken. I created a new sitemap (verified by google) and now, no matter what page a search refers to, when you click on it, only my home page opens. Did I do something wrong? It used to be that if a search pointed to a certain page, clicking that result took you directly to that page.
    Any suggestions for these problems would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you, David

    Old Toad:
    I finally got it! the favicon works now at: http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture
    Your Instructions at:http://toadstutorials.info/ #22 did the trick.
    One problem I had with TextWrangle was I was doing a search and replace for <head><meta and it wasn't working. What I figured out was that there was other code on the line after <head><meta which was preventing the new code from working. I did a minor adjustment on each page in iWeb to force it to republish each page. That made the <head><meta line consistent on each page, then I selected the entire line and replaced it as per your instructions. It worked great. My experience was that iTweak did not process the code properly and was very slow, but this process was great.
    Thank you for all your help. Sincerely, David

  • PDF created from InDesign not viewing correctly in Firefox

    I have exported PDF files to be uploaded to Firefox. When they are uploaded all drop shadows etc. turn blocky. Some fonts do not appear correctly. It is not always the same font and it will just be one line out of a paragraph. It appears to be that Firefox is not handling "over print" correctly. It views perfectly fine in Safari, Chrome, and IE. We have all tried viewing these pages in Firefox and some of us can view them fine, even those of us that are using the same version and operating system etc., one persons will view fine and the others not.

    Hello lolapop21,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. I'm sorry you're having issues viewing PDFs in Firefox. Are you using the Firefox's PDF viewer or do your PDFs open in Adobe Acrobat or another PDF viewer?
    Cheers,
    Patrick

  • I use sites with pdf's a lot. Why isn't pdf viewing built into Firefox? The extensions can't keep up with your rapid upgrade program.

  • DreamweaverCS3 template(two column liquid) views fine in firefox but in IExplorer I don't get the design only code?  How do I fix this?

    Dreamweaver CS3 template two column liquid views fine in firefox but in Iexplorer I don't get the design only code? How do I fix this?

    random guess- what file extension have you saved the file with.
    second random guess- there may be an unclosed html comment
    third- what do you mean by "I don't get the design only code"
    Do you mean the browser shows the code, or the browser shows nothing, or ???
    for a better reply, please provide a link to the uploaded page please.

  • Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. How to revert it?

    I'm having trouble with something in firefox, it's quite minor but still bugs me. Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. I can't remember what I did to change this if it's my fault; if someone knows how to revert it I'd be thankful.

    cor-el : thanks for the pointers! I wish the solution isn't an add-on every time ... if such long-standing behaviour is going to change, the least that could be done is put in an about:config option to get back the old behaviour.

  • Cannot view pdfs in Firefox. - Browser doesn't recognize them as pdfs

    I cannot view pdfs in Firefox. I checked the Applications section of FIrefox preferences and instead of saying "Adobe Acrobat PDF document"- it says "Adobe Acrobat FDF document. I am guessing that the browser does not recognize pdfs because the content type is incorrect.
    I am using a Mac running OSX 10.8.2 and Firefox 17.0, however I have had this problem for several months and several earlier versions of Firefox as well. Please fix this issue. According to the help center forums, I am not alone with this issue.

    Thank you for your help. What I ended up having to do was to change the Action next to Adobe Acrobat FDF document to "Use Preview". Then again under the Preview.app Document under Content Type, I had to change that to Use Preview as well. It is now working. However, Firefox (Mozilla) needs to change the word FDF to PDF in their preferences file.

  • Every time I try to view images with firefox it crashes, shuts down and then asks if I want to re-open, how do I view images again with firefox?

    Everytime I try to view images with firefox it crashes, submits a report, to which I've had no response yet, asks if I want to restart firefox with last session or start a new session. What is going on?

    It only happens if I try to use google images with firefox. I've now narrowed it down to an extension, AVG SafeSearch, doesn't happen if I disable this.

  • When I have more than one tab open, if I click on a picture to view, when the window opens to view the photo, firefox crashes. I also notice while looking at a web page, the pinned tabs to the left of the bar are constantly reloading for some reason.

    When I have more than one tab open, if I click on a picture to view/enlarge, say eBay, and I click on the items photo to enlarge it, when the window opens to view the photo, Firefox crashes. I also notice while looking at a web page, the pinned tabs to the left of the bar are constantly reloading for some reason, The green circle starts going round and round for no reason even though the tab is not being viewed. Both problems seem to have started after the last software update.

  • How can I display a PDF in Fit-Page View mode in Firefox?

    I would like to use Firefox to view PDF documents from the web - but cannot get the PDF fit-page view to be a Firefox option. For large PDF files, I then have to scroll slowly through them - whereas in Adobe Reader, I can view them page by page and scan through it much quicker.

    If you just purchased Acrobat 10, you might be eligible for a free upgrade to Acrobat 11, which is suppposed to have much improved export to PPT.
