When viewing the applications tab of my firefox preferences, PDF file formats are not in the list of possible formatts, how do I add it so that I can open PDF file in my browser?

I am running OSX 10.5.8 currently, and have followed all of the tips and advice on the help sites (IE. uninstalling, installing pluggins, programs like adobe, and reinstalling firefox). I tried deleting and resetting the mimetypes.rdf file and the pluginreg.dat files. I have noticed that when you open the FF preferences window, and look at applications, there is no Portable Document Format file type listed. How do I fix this?

Install '''PDFescape''' extension from the FF add-on gallery. I think it may help to your problem

    Close and restart Photoshop if you have not already done so.
    In Photoshop, go to the Help - About Plug-in... menu then choose Camera Raw.  What version does it say there?

    Then I'd check the system drive, if it has problems.
    To check your System drive boot into the Recovery Partition, see: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
    You will see a panel, where you can use Disk Utility to check your System Drive.

  • On our shared laptop we had three music libraries. When I switched on the laptop this morning they had all gone. They are not in the itunes folder either. How do I get them all back please?

    On Our shared laptop we had three music libraries. When I switch on the laptop this morning there were no libraries in itunes at all. It's as if ituned has installed itself from new and that we never had ipods? As far as I know no updates have been done. I restored the laptop back a couple of days and after restarting it still no libraries. How do I get them back please?

  • My gmail is forwarded to my "mail" on my Mac.  I now have over 14000 emails in my "all mail" in gmail on my mac.  When I try to delete them, they keep coming back.  They are not on the gmail server any longer either.

    My gmail is forwarded to my Mail on my Mac.  I now have over 14000 emails in the gmail "mailbox" because I can not delete them.  When I do, they just come back.  Frustrated ...

    This is a Gmail issue.
    It is not possible to delete something from Gmail over IMAP: Gmail doesn't let you do this.  When you "delete" something from Mail, it "deletes" it from the Mac.  However, if you show the "All Mail" folder, you will see ALL your email in Gmail.
    There are 2 solutions to this:
    1)  If you go to your Gmail web account, you can select which Gmail labels are shown over IMAP.  You should disable "All Mail" so you won't see the folder in Mail.
    2)  From the Gmail web interface, you can actually permanently delete emails.  Go ahead and delete them there and they will be gone forever from Gmail, and from Mail.
    This is not something Apple can address.  It's how Gmail implements IMAP, which is totally nonstandard.

  • Firefox 4 hangs when attempting to view the Applications tab in Preferences

    Firefox 4 under MacOS X 10.6.6 hangs when I click to select the "Applications" tab on the Preferences dialog. It never paints the pane. When this happens, it consumes 60% CPU. Running dtruss against the running process shows a little activity, but not much.
    I have tried deleting mimeTypes.rdf. It recreated a new, smaller one, but it made no difference to the problem. I have let Firefox continue to run for up to 10 minutes, with no change in responsiveness. I am forced to kill it every time. It is 100% reproducible on my system.

    I just discovered that if I disable the Quicktime plugin (7.6.6), this problem goes away.

  • Firefox tries to open a certain filetype (.spk) as text and never adds an entry to the Applications tab in Options, so I have no way to change this behavior.

    Since it's not in the Applications tab, I can't change how Firefox handles it. And since it automatically opens it as a text file, I have no way to download this filetype when it's linked to with javascript or flash because I can't right-click and "Save Link As."
    How can I make Firefox ask me how to handle the file instead of treating it as text?
    I've already tried deleting "mimeTypes.rdf" from my Firefox profile.

    Then how do I manually tell Firefox to save text files instead of automatically displaying them?
    There's no "text/plain" type for me to edit listed on the Applications tab.
    Screenshot attached showing the page info for one of the spk files and the Applications tab with no "text" type listed.
    There's another at [http://www.tecsg.co.uk/scs/scs407.spk here]. I don't care if the web server owner has attached the wrong MIME type to a file so long as Firefox will give me a chance to tell it how I want it to be handled. If it's not a webpage (html, php, etc.) then Firefox should not try to render it by itself without asking. --- On a side note, how do I get this forum to treat my line returns like line returns rather than spaces?

  • Why do some computers running Firefox 6.02 only display 5 or 6 applications in the "applications" tab under "options" and others show about 25?

    I am running Firefox 6.0.2 on several computers and on several of them the applications tab under "options" only shows 5 or 6 applications while another shows 20-25 applications including PDF which is what I am interested in. How can I get applications to appear on this menu?
    All of the computers in questions are running Windows XP Pro. On the computer with the limited menu if I attempt to download a PDF copy of my bank statement Mozilla opens the PDF rather than opening it with my PDF program. If I attempt to save the file or print it, Mozilla crashes. On the computer which lists all of the apps on the application tab the PDF opens normally using the program which I have selected for opening that file type.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

    Hi,
    There is not enough information about the problem. For troubleshooting, I recommend you can use Process Monitor to detect whether there's any process failed.
    You can download Process Monitor and see how to use it for troubleshooting in below links:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939896
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/06/01/troubleshooting-with-process-monitor.aspx
    There are a lot of log entries in Process Monitor, you may filter Visual Studio process only(proces = devenv.exe). And you can upload the logs to OneDrive so that we can investigate them.
    Also, you can refer to Gfazil's post in

    Please try the method he mentioned to see whether the problem can occur:
    " Replacing the dlls mentioned below from a machine that is working solves the problem:
    c:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcp100.dll

  • New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why is the Application Tab so different from the rest of iTune?

    It feels like the Applications tab is not from Apple. Is it done by a outsourcing company in China? There is no consistency between this tab with the rest of iTune. Is there a design theme across all parts of iTune? Why there is no list view for the Apps?
    One thing I miss much is the ability to check off an App so that it will not sync to my iPhone. The same way that I can decide with song go to my iPod. Since the iPhone only has 144 slot for applications, it is important to have such selection ability. The other thing I miss is the rating. I'd like to rate the applications so that if I have purchased more than one version of the same kind of app, I can choose which goes to my iPhone based on my own rating. I also want to be able to sort the Apps by category in the list view. How about folders that each corresponds to one page on the iPhone? The way to reorganize the Apps icons is just a pain after you have more than a few pages.
