When I click on a pdf doc on a site, Firefox begins opening new windows until I quit the application. On a mac.

The dialog box of downloads that appears on Firefox after a download is complete shows the document as a .pdf. (of course this is after I restart Firefox). However, in my user/downloads folder, the document is .pdf.part

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

  • When I want to mail a web-page or link firefox keeps opening new windows and cannot be stopped.

    My laptop is a Samsung R730 (quite happy with it). I use Eudora for e-mailing. If I want to mail a web-page or link and click under 'file'to send it, Firefox starts opening new tabs without stopping up to over a hundred. I have to brutally switch off my lap-top, start agaiu. Restart Firefox which wants to open all the old tabs, click it off quickly. After that I can reopen to normal.

  • When i open a new tab it continues to open new tabs until i end the session

    When I try to click on something in a website and it has to open a new tab to display it the computer continues to open new tabs until i get off the internet

    Specifically, which website, which web page, and which hyperlink on the webpage does that happen with?
    Typically, when this problem of an endless number of tabs or windows open with a single click, there is something set to open in Firefox that really isn't something which is intended to open and be viewed in Firefox.
    It might be a setting in Firefox that isn't proper or it could be the website is mis-configured, or it could be caused by an external application that has messed up a setting for Firefox or in the Registry.
    Not related to this problem, but you have three different versions of Flash in your Plugins listing in More System Details.
    Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
    Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
    Shockwave Flash 11.8 r800
    You should remove the two older Plugins.

  • Firefox is opening new windows automaticly most often when I move the curser

    Firefox has started opening new windows that show redirect. This happens most often when I move the curser. The problem is intermittent as it seems to stop when you close all the windows at times. Then when you go to a new page it starts opening new windows again.

    If this affects a lot of sites randomly, there's a good chance it is caused by an add-on. Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or if obviously bad, remove).
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that shut down the extra windows?
    Also recommended:
    (1) Visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date. Then look for any recent unrecognized programs that may have snuck in as part of a bundle. Remove everything you do not know to be useful and trustworthy.

  • Won't open new page when I click bookmark, instead changes pages EVEN THO PREFERENCES SET TO OPEN NEW PAGES

    Firefox keeps on changing pages, even yanking minimized pages back onto the screen and changing them, even though I have Firefox preferences set to always open new pages to accommodate links on a page or bookmarks.
    I don't want Firefox to tamper with any pages, period. If I have a pages minimized, no way should Firefox be yanking that page up back onto the screen because it's "too lazy" to open up a new page to accommodate a bookmark or link clicked on.
    It's extremely aggravating to click a link on a page, get a new page then, when I click the page to close it I find no page underneath, indicating that Firefox had changed the original page rather than open up a new page automatically to accommodate the link, etc.
    What's the point of me in Firefox preferences setting it up for Firefox to open up new pages automatically when afterwards it doesn't?

    Perhaps try the add-on Tab Mix Plus. It has a feature that you can force every link to open in a new tab if you like:
    * http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Links (description of options - see "Force to open in new tab")
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (install page)
    I don't know whether it has any effect on bookmarks. You can open those in a new window by holding Shift or in a new tab by holding Ctrl when clicking.

  • When I click on links in my emails, I want firefox to open them, but nothing happens, how do i get it to do this.

    Google chrome installed itself on my computer by mistake, and started opening up when I clicked links in my emails. So I uninstalled G.Chrome. But now when I click on the links in emails, NOTHING happens. How can I get Firefox to again open up those links when I click on them.

    I have been having the same problem. Links work in Outlook for both Chrome and IE but not Firefox. I have tried a number of things including restarting my computer, editing the registry etc. Oddly, when I edited the registry, the links did work for a while but then I proceeded to get the same error as before.

  • Firefox 9 opens new window when opening new tab on Windows 7

    When I load FF 9, then click on the + to open a new tab, it does so, but in the quickstart bar in Windows 7, it shows as another window of FF, although the new tab "seems" to be in the original instance of FF. Effectively, what I mean is, if I have 4 tabs open, it shows 4 Firefox windows in the taskbar.
    Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks and regards,
    Clive

    I'm assuming you are referring to Tab Previews in the Win7 Taskbar.
    This can be turned of rather easily.
    *Open a New Tab
    **Type about:config in the address bar
    When the page loads click "I'll be careful, I Promise"
    In the "Filter" bar at the top of the page type
    *browser.taskbar.previews.enable
    **Double click it to set the Value to FALSE
    If you simply type "Taskbar" in the filter, this will give you ever option that pertains to the windows 7 taskbar.

  • If I click on a .pdf link on a site or mail, infinite blank windows open, all the while downloading pdf.part files. How do I stop this action?

    It does not matter what or where the .pdf is, so it is not a result of a particular website, rather it is a fault in Firefox. It just started in the last week.

    Could you check your PDF handling setting in the Preferences dialog.
    Firefox menu > Preferences > Applications
    Allow several seconds for Firefox to load the list, then type pdf in the search box above the list to quickly filter it. What do you have here? If you modify it to use a different viewer (such as Preview), does that help?

  • Why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page?

    why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
    If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
    AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
    Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

    I cannot get Adobe ExportPDF to work. The screen is blank when I click on Select PDF files to Export.  I use windows 7. I also tried to export a document directly from Adobe Reader using the tool, but it gave me an error message. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Try to use different browser.
    Would it be possible for you to send me the document so that i can take a look at my end?

  • When I click on show pdf in a browser then safari goes black. What to do?

    When I click on show pdf in a browser then safari goes black. Other browser like firefox work. What to do in Safari?

    Have you installed any PDF plugins or Adobe Acrobat Reader?  Schubert-it's PDF Plugin and Adobe's Acrobat Reader both may need updates to work properly in Safari.  Double check if you have either which version needs to be installed.

  • When attempting to edit a PDF doc, I get "Adobe has encountered an unknown error" Why?

    When attempting to edit a PDF doc, I get "Adobe has encountered an unknown error" Why?

    Hi myarwema,
    Are you using Acrobat on Mac OS or Windows (and what version?). You say you have version 11.0.0, but the current version is 11.0.10, so please choose Help > Check for Updates and install any available updates for starters.
    Does the error occur regardless of the PDF that you try to edit? If the problem is widespread, I would recommend a repair/reinstall of Acrobat (if installing the updates doesn't help). If the problem occurs with just the one document, that PDF could be damaged.
    Best,
    Sara

  • When I click on a pdf file, it goes to Windows Media Center

    I have Vista and upgraded to IE8 about a month ago.  Now when I click on a pdf file, it goes directly to the Windows Media Center.  I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Somehow, PDFs have become associated with Media center as the default application for opening them.
    Right click a PDfFand choose Properties.
    To the right of Opens with, there is a Change button. Click it and select Adobe Reader from the list of programs.
    Click OK, Check the box to always use the selected program to open this type of file (If it's clickable), then click Apply and OK.
    A reboot may be necessary.

  • I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.

    I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
    However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8, it does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager, but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    I haven't use the C# API but I imagine it is the same as C ShellExecute. Which in turn is the same thing (in essence) as double clicking in Windows Explorer.
    So... does Adobe Reader run normally on this machine?
    And does it start and open if you double click on a PDF file?
