Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

Uninstall Acrobat, the install Reader. http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Since last update, unable to open PDF files from either banking site. The other (IE) works fine but I hate IE. I deleted newer versions and went back to older releases. No help, same thing. Checked settings in options. That is ok. What's up?

Unable to open PDF files from my banking statements.

I think almost every dev is on arch-general, so that is the place to contact the group in general. Specific points can probably be emailed to the dev involved, if one is identifiable and if the bug tracker is not a better place (bug reports to my email get ignored).
I think the whole problem here is that there is really no dev in charge of that package. So your emails were probably seen then skipped over by all devs thinking not my problem... (I know that is true for me). Then Andrea noticed an "orphan" package that needed updated and went ahead with it without connecting it to your previous emails, which is unfortunate.
Now our maintainer backend is fixed, hopefully we can get all the orphan packages adopted out, or at least know if we need to bring on new people to maintain them. That way, there should always be someone who information about specific packages should be sent to.

Just once or twice

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions ("File handling in Firefox 3 and SeaMonkey 2" and "Reset Download Actions")

When I view PDF files, they become transparent?? If I turn off plug-ins then pdf is ok?? What do I do?

Not sure what else to say. When I try to view a PDF file, it becomes transparent & whiteish and I see my desktop through it. If I choose to turn off all plug-ins then it's ok. Soooo, I'm assuming it's something with the plug-ins. Perhaps a new update or something as I haven't intentionally changed anything at all.

This only happens to me when I don't have the window maximized. It also happens with other embedded media, such as parts of Pandora's interface.

How to stop the email in mozilla firefox opening in a new window( I want it to open in a new tab)

in the toolbar when I press the email button, my email opens in a new window, when I want my mail to open in a new tab. Please can you help????

I don't think Firefox has a built-in email button. Do you have an add-on that created that button, or do you mean a button pinned to the Windows Taskbar?
If it's an add-on, check whether it has an settings available for window vs. tab. If this doesn't appear with the button itself (for example, using a drop-down triangle next to the button) you can check the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then check the list for the relevant extension and try its Options... button.

Firefox prevents opening a new window - I want it to open them.

When I click on a link in my gmail, it opens a new tab with this message and have to choose "allow". I want it to just open the link in a new tab.
"Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. [Allow]"

See:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

I cannot open PDF files when I am using Firefox, how can I fix this?

I cannot open PDF files while I am using Firefox. This is true for opening PDF pages in Firefox and outside of Firefox.

I ran into the same problem, and here is what I have done to fix it.
Go to Tools/Add-ons
You might have to get the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (Likely 10.x.....)
On any exiting Adobe Acrobat Reader select disable (to disable the plug-in)
If you have already gotten the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader just disable any earlier version.
There is no official way to uninstall a plug-in so this it the workaround.
If you do need to uninstall the plugin you need to type about:config ....about:plugins search for the article to do it.

Not Opening PDF Files

I am having a problem openining PDF files. When I click on the link for PDF files on Safari, I get a screen that asks which program I want to open up the PDF with. Preview is disabled since I can't click on it.
I then click on Adobe (I have 7.07 loaded), and when I do, the web browser tries to open the file, but all that comes up is a blank screen.
This is becoming a pain since I can't view PDFs.
Any thoughts would be appreciaeted.
Thanks
Russell

Symptom:
PDF files can no longer be viewed in a Safari window as well as embeded QuickTime movie files can no longer be viewed in a Safari window after running the following updates:
- Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 Language Support
- Acrobat Reader 7.0.7 Update
Prior to these updates, both PDF files and QuickTime movie files loaded as expected.
- To view PDF files they must be downloaded to the hard drive and then opened in Adobe Reader.
-To view QuickTime movies, they must be downloaded to the hard drive and then opened in QuickTime Player.
Miscellaneous troubleshooting:
- Internet Explorer 5.2.3 used to visit handful of sites visited in Safari prior to this symptom. Both PDF files and QuickTime movies load in Internet Explorer 5.2.3 as expected.
- Disabling the Internet preference in Adobe Reader had no effect.
- Resetting Safari had no effect.
Software:
- Mac OS 10.3.9
- Safari 1.3.2
- Acrobat Reader 7.0.7
- QuickTime Version 7.0.4, Player Version 7.0.4
I was able to resolve the issue by troubleshooting my home directory by following the general troubleshooting steps presented in Apple Tech doc 107657 "Safari quits unexpectedly".
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107657
Here's the solution that worked for me:
1. I quit Safari and all other running applications.
2. I dragged the following Preferences folder to the desktop:
~/Library/Preferences
3. To locate this folder quickly, I copied and pasted "~/Library/Preferences" into the window that opens if you choose Go > Go to Folder... from the Go pull-down menu while in the Finder.
4. I reopened Safari to see if PDF files and QuickTime movies would load as expected (they did).
5. Reopening Safari created a new Preferences folder in the Library folder containing the following:
com.apple.HIToolbox.000d936bdfd8.plist in a folder named "ByHost"
com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
com.apple.Safari.plist
DivX Decoder 5.2 Preferences
QuickTime Preferences
6. I carefully copied these files into the Preferences folder on the desktop, allowing each file to overwrite (or replace) the existing item. Note: I did not replace the entire "ByHost" folder contained in the Preferences folder on the desktop, but rather I replaced the one file inside of the "ByHost" folder.
7. I moved the Preferences folder that was on the desktop back into the Library folder, replacing the newly created Preferences folder.
To avoid deleting preference files for other applications that use the Preferences folder, it is very important to keep track of which Preferences folder is on the desktop and which one is newly created by reopening Safari.
This process did not seem to affect Acrobat Reader 7.0.5. After opening Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and checking for updates (Help > Check for Updates Now...) Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 Language Support and Acrobat Reader 7.0.7 Update are both still "installed" with the option to "Reinstall" if desired (I decided not to do this as installing these items seem to be what caused this symptom to begin with).
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

GIMP won't open PDF files anymore

I just reinstalled my system and noticed that GIMP won't open PDF files anymore. I remember being able to use GIMP to open PDFs and save them as high resolution images.... Am I missing something?

Make sure you have poppler-glib installed.
If you have imagemagick installed you might also want to try "convert my.pdf my.jpg". It will be done before gimp opens.

I was able to open pfd files before my computer was shut down by a power outage, once power was returned I am unable to open pdf files

I was able to open pdf files before I had a power outage in our area, once power was restored I can not open pdf files.

Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
To change that see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
However, Google seems determined that in the near future only their own plugins will be allowed on Chrome...

How can I make chromium to open PDF files directly in okular?

Hi all,
I switched from firefox to chromium and there is one thing that I would like to have solved: At the moment, the only way to open PDF files from the web is to first save them locally and open them afterwards from the chromium statusbar or from the chromium downloads tab (chrome://downloads/). Is there a way to configure chromium to open PDF files directly from a remote URL in okular?
Thanks in advance & kind regards,
jamesbond007.

Yes, I would like to know that as well. Here it tries to open pdf files with the adobe plugin but fails (grey window). It's especially annoying with javascript links that do not allow to use "save as".
