Want: Adobe Reader with Firefox but not with Safari

I've been using Firefox as my primary browser for awhile, but still use Safari at times. I use Adobe Reader to display PDFs within Firefox, and it is currently also used by Safari.
I'd like to take advantage of Safari's new ability to natively display PDFs within the browser window without using Adobe Reader, but I want to continue to use Reader with Firefox.
Does anybody know of a way to make this happen? It seems to be an all-or-nothing proposition since the same plug-in is used by both browsers.
iBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.6) It's white.

well, you might try quitting safari & firefox, then moving the adobe plugin(s) from /hd/library/internet plug-ins/ to /applications/firefox.app/contents/plug-ins/ In finder, press Apple-shift-G & paste the italicised text above into the box - this will take you to the firefox plug-ins folder ( assuming you have firefox in the applications folder )
then restart the browsers & see what happens
Please note - I don't know that this will work, but it's easy to try & easy to revert back to normal - just quit the browsers again & move the plugin(s) back where they came from.
I'll just test it with a different plug-in......

Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash player lags bad with Firefox but not with google chrome,what is the problem ?

Every time i try to play any game using flash player with Firefox i have a lot of lag time. I have to stop playing and wait for things to catch up to play to play any more,I do not have this problem with google chrome playing the same games.I have updated all add ons and plugins.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month ago

Everyone can blame flash player if they want, but the truth is for me I went from an earlier version that had plugin container which created lag for me. I disabled the plugin container in about:config settings, and firefox worked fine. Plugin container screwed up any videos i tried to watch on the internet by freezing, lagging, and crashing firefox. I was fine after I disabled plugin container, but then eventually some time later down the road I received a warning that i would soon be forced to update my mozilla so I eventually/reluctantly gave in and complied. At this point the same problems started again!!! I disabled plugin container again and it did help a bit right away. But this version 12.0 even with plugin container disabled with just a few tabs open I receive choppy video (like a snapshot of the video at 3 seconds in, and then another snap at 6 seconds in) I'm only seeing snapshots of the video like every 3 seconds while the audio continues on fine. That"s how bad the lag is. This is horrible performance for a browser. If I try to load a video while one is already playing, just that little bit of stress (2 youtube videos open at once) is all it takes to crash this poor performing version of firefox. I mean I can't even close the tabs after these situations and the audio sometime runs after closing for me as well. These problems did not start until the version changes of firefox and the addition of plugin container, not flash player. I have been a loyal mozilla fan, but my patients is wearing so so thin with the performance of this browser at the moment. Unfortunately I just realized for the first time ever I actually have to (against my will) install another browser just to watch videos. How sad is that? Considering watching videos is one of the main uses of a browser, I consider this version a failure. How could I not??? I guess I have no choice but to Chrome it up. I hope a fix for this problem can be found soon for I miss the great performing days of this previously top performing browser. Fingers Crossed!!!

Ebay login loop with Firefox, but not with Chrome

When I log in to Ebay using Firefox, everything looks OK. I can buy and sell (so I'm definitely logged in), but when I attempt to go to "My Ebay", It presents the login screen, even though I am already logged in. If I fill in the login details, it simply re-asserts the login screen, and I sit in this loop indefinitely.
I have cleared cache and cookies several times, and have deleted and reinstalled Firefox to no avail. When I contact Ebay support (I have spent 3 hours on thje chat support and 20 minutes on the phone), they tell me to use Chrome or IE. I downloaded Chrome, and I can access Ebay perfectly with it, but I am currently at my daughter's place for Christmas, so I am using her wireless connection, and we both use the same ISP (plus.net), and on her PC, she uses Firefox, and I can access My Ebay by signing in on her laptop.
What's going on? For Ebay access, her Firefox works; mine doesn't. My Chrome works, but Firefox on my PC doesn't.

Adobe Flash Player 10 works with Firefox but not with IE8???

Hi Gang: I need help, I have downloaded adobe flash player 10, enable my javascript in IE8, but when I attempt to run youtube videos, I get the error message, javascript need to be enable or you need to download a newer version of adobe flash player. I then opened Firefox instead then run the same youtube videos and everything is perfectly fine. Why can't I run youtube videos in IE8 with the adobe flash player 10? What is the fix?
Thanks

What's (likely) happening is that the HTML wrapper around the .swf isn't behaving... which causes Flash Player version detection to fail. Hit this test page at youtube - you should see an embedded movie with Flash Player version information.
http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html
You may find success by following the instructions in this tech-note for a complete uninstall... then re-install the latest FP.

Why do I need to hit Zoom In 6 times with Firefox but not with Intermet Explorer?

I have Windows 7 Home Edition on Dell Inspiron computer.
When using Firefox, every screen comes up so small I have to zoom in 6 times, whereas I have no such problem with Internet Explorer at the same websites, pc settings, etc.
I have tried changing things under 'Tools', but to no avail.
Under such conditions, I favor using IE instead of Firefox. Both browsers are of latest version: Firefox 7.0.1; IE 9.0.8112.

Can anyone tell me why games are semi transparent in Pogo? I only have this problem with Firefox but not with IE9 or Chrome

When I click on a game, the game window opens and is solid, but when it's fully loaded, it becomes semi transparent and washed out. I can post a screen shot of what I'm talking about if this forum supports it.

PDX index works in adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe X !!

Hello I have some commercial genealogy DVD's, bought a few years ago, with PDX files on them that work fine with adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe reader X. Adobe reader X says they are invalid PDX index files. Ofcourse adobe says that version X is Backward compatible and I must contact the vendor of my dvd's !!!.
Does anybody else has this problem ?
I do not have the pro version so I cannot rebuild the indexes myself.
Hans
PS for now I have removed version 10 and re-installed version 9.4
Windows XP SP3

"Adobe Reader X doesn't support search catalogs created with Acrobat 5 or earlier.
You may try Adobe Reader 9 or create new catalogs with Acrobat X Pro."
I actually contacted my vendor and he is sending me a new disk free of charge . He told me he had to destroy his whole stock of cd's that contains old pdx files.

Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
It's the same problem in the other feed.

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

BB does sync media with PC but not with Mac

I got the Bold 9790. I am not sure which OS, does that matter? Are there OS versions not compatible?

I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....

http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Fallback-To-Flash.html
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...

Why am I now having certificate issues with Firefox but not IE?

I can no longer log into Gmail, Facebook, Amazon, etc... using Firefox. I get the following error "accounts.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)". It works with IE but not Firefox. This just started a few days ago - prior to that I was able to log into those https sites without issue.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

"browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert" was set on false so I set it to true and tried reloading.
Got the page giving me the option to add exception and continue. Kept trying that and would not continue to the page even after accepting 10+ times.

Typekit works with Dreamweaver but not with Muse?

Why is it that I can use all Typekit's fonts together with Dreamweaver and not with Muse?
The fonts currently available via the TypeKit font menu in Muse (3.1) are of very low quality. 98% of them are "display type fonts" at best in my humble opinion. I need high quality fonts when designing high quality projects for my customers.
If I want to use Minion Pro or Futura in my Muse projects — are there any workarounds that does not get lost when I update the site with Muse? For example via the "HTML for <head>" field via the Page Properties dialog window in combination with some other Muse features?
Does the Adobe Muse Team (or someone else) have a step-by-step guide how to accomplish this?
Thanks a lot!
Kudos to The Adobe Muse Team – Muse is a fantastic piece of software. Easy to work with and really fun to use. Looking forward to the next update!

This is strange, but hopefully good.
I searched for Typekit, fonts and Muse etc on the forums before posting and did not get any relevant hits. But now I think I've found the workaround in the column to the right of this very post under the headline "More Like This".

8.5 Report works with OCX but not with CRAXDRT

Post Author: kjwatson
CA Forum: Older Products
I have an application using Crystal Reports 8.5. It uses the crystal reports OCX to view and print reports.I added the CRAXDRT to the application so I could export PDF files. It works fine except that Running Total Fields and Formula Fields to not seem to evaluate correctly. Formula Fields only work if they reference a Database Field. If they reference a Running Total Field, they do not evaluate. I'm initializing the connection of the tables on the report and sub-reports. Could I be missing something else? The reports work fine with the older OCX, but not with the CRAXDRT. Any help/ideas are appreciated!Thanks,Kevin
