When wanting to download a PDF file from a site, when cliicking on the link, Firefox 3.6.13 goes to a blank page. Previous versions worked perfectly. How do I fix this please?

Since no window shows up asking where to download, etc as happens in other browsers (Opera) and in previous versions of Firefox, no able to click on a web site link to download a PDF file. Just goes to a blank page.

Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.
Kaspersky: Protection > Firewall > Filtration system: disable the "Banner Ad Blocker"

  • I updated Itunes to the latest and now windows keeps sending an alert that says Itunes stopped working. How do I fix this?

    I just updated my itunes after receiving an alert through my windows 8. My laptop automatically restarts after an update to secure the changes in setting and applications. But a minute after opening itunes and its loaded, a windows alert pops up stating that Itunes has stopped working. How can I fix the problem without losing the music in my Itunes?

  • I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and can't go any further.  How do I fix this?

    I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and will not go any further.  What can I do?  I am using a pc.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Clicking on a new tab used to open a blank page, now it opens SweetIM; how do I fix this?

    I used to be able to open a new tab and it would show a blank page, but now it shows a site called SweetIM that I didn't set as the site to be opened when I open a new tab.

    First, try the suggestions here: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
    If that doesn't help then I suggest that you visit a reputable forum specializing in malware removal instead of trying to follow instructions on various Internet sites that may run you into trouble. See [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] for some recommendations.

    Delete the song from your library and re-download it from the Purchases section of the iTunes Store.

    Hi,
    If you have not already I would change the Slide size to something that has a 4:3 Ratio.
    The Buddy maybe trying to scroll left and right to see the whole slide although this shoud be controlled at you end.
    I would open the Connection Doctor during a Chat  (iChat's Video menu).
    Check that both Bit Rates are relatively stable (there is always some variance.)
    Anything over 5% particularly if over 500kbps is likely to be causing problems.
    You could try limiting the Bandwidth (iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section) to 500kbps at both ends
    It may pay to drop to 200kbps as a test.  (you may lose the Side by Side presentation at this speed).

  • I am getting a "Sorry! Something went wrong." message on the Numbers App with options to Reload or Send Info. NEITHER are working. How do I fix this?

    a file on my Numbers application is malfunctioning

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • How to download a .pdf file from a JavaMail application?

    hi to all,
    iam unable to download a .pdf file from a mailserver using
    my javamail application.i have downloaded all kind of files except .pdf.
    my code snipnet:
    public static void dumpPart(Part p) throws Exception {
    //     if (p instanceof Message)          dumpEnvelope((Message)p);
              System.out.println("CONTENT-TYPE: " + p.getContentType());
              Object o = p.getContent();
              if (o instanceof String) {
                   System.out.println("This is a String");
                   System.out.println((String)o);
                   } else if (o instanceof Multipart) {
                        System.out.println("This is a Multipart");
                        Multipart mp = (Multipart)o;
                        int count = mp.getCount();
    System.out.println("****************************************");
    System.out.println("count" + count);
    System.out.println("****************************************");
                        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++){
                             System.out.println("CONTENT-TYPE: " + p.getContentType());

                                  //System.out.write(c);
                                  fos.write((char)c);
    }//dumpPart
    what's wrong with this code?

    fos.write((char)c);Converting the byte to a char is unnecessary and probably harmful. Just do this: fos.write(c);

    How do i download a pdf file from an email? Save to computer did not work.

    What is your operating system?  What is your email client?  What exactly means "did not work"?
    Most email clients I know have a 'Save Attachments' functionality; did you try that?
