Why can't Firefox still not show a pdf properly from within the browser and do we need insufficient and not working add-ons?
I never succeeded to show a pdf properly in the Firefox browser.
There is an add-on, but the add-on itself tells you already in most cases that you should download the pdf because it can't show the pdf properly. I can't understand why that is! It makes my live much more complicated, since we have an application running that constantly should be able to show pdf's from within the browser.
The add-on you are talking about is pdf.js. pdf.js does it best to show you what the pdf's it is given are, but pdf.js is not 100% compatible with all elements that can be put inside a pdf. Another problem pdf.js faces is that many pdf's generated with proprietary software either do not conform to the pdf spec or use proprieatary elements that only pdf readers that the company has designed or partnered with can interpret. I promise you Mozilla doesn't want your life to be any more complicated than it is but sometimes it is simply not possible for pdf.js to read a document when the manufacturer of the program that generated the pdf doesn't play by the rules.

Why can't I 'gift' Mac Apps? Gifting specific apps in the iTunes store is easy. This is not the case on the Apple Mac App Store.
An alternative is to purchase an iTunes gift card that can be redeemed for apps in the Mac App Store.

Can Firefox still play locally saved flash games inside of the browser?
I have not been able to play locally saved SWF files ever since update 20 (I have Firefox Beta/25 at the moment). My application options in Flash oclet-steam and Shockwave are both set to always ask (I have also tried to open with Firefox & Shockwave respective menu options), and for some reason the files open in IE 9. My OS is WIndows 7 Home Premium, but I doubt this has much effect on what I am asking for. In case you are in doubt, I can play flash in websites perfectly, but am having trouble playing flash (specifically video games) from my PC library/local system/offline.
EDIT: I have updated to Firefox 26I take it you're trying to open the files by left-clicking them in Windows Explorer. If so,
# Right-click a SWF file and choose '''Open With''', then '''Choose Default Program'''.
# From the list in the Open With window, select '''Firefox''' and check the box labeled "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".
# Click the '''OK''' button.
Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop a SWF file onto the Firefox window.
In either case, the Shockwave Flash plug-in must be set to either "Always Activate" or "Ask to Activate" in the Add-ons Manager, Plugins section. -
Why can't I "save as a word or excel online" within the PDF document
I can go online and convert a PDF to word but I can't do it within the PDF document.
When I first purchase ExportPDF a few weeks ago I was able to do this, now I can't.
I get an error that states "File failed to be converted with Adobe ExportPDF".
Please advise!!Hi Edward
Do you have some time today to torubleshoot this issue?
Thanks

When we rolled out ReaderX and AcrobatX we uncheck the Diaply PDF in Browser window. OK with IE, but ignored in FireFox (3.6.16). We can live with that except the PDFs have links to other URLs and clicking on them is ignored. Same PDF opened outside the browser the links work fine. FireFox with Reader 9.4.0 no problem. Reader X with IE no problem. I can fix the Display in Browser with a change to firefox.js, but have not figured out how to fix the links when the PDF is displayed within the browser.
My replies are in Bold.
Thank you for your response and message.
1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF hosted on the internet?
It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
3. Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you could find it at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties -> Details
If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
Anyway.... Cheers. -

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I already did all of these things. As you can see from the below screenshot, the language is already set.

Why can't Firefox find the simplest sites and sites that I frequent?
Why can't Firefox find ANY of the servers for the sites I frequent the most?
Were you bought out by Google Chrome? This is beyond frustrating and ******* off your customers even if you are a free service is probably not a good business model.

Why can't i watch tv shows on imac?
Why can't I watch tv shows downloaded from iTunes on my iMac?

Why can't you download TV shows on iTunes.NZ ?
Why can't you download TV shows on iTunes.NZ ?
Thanks for that.
It seems odd that you can log onto TVNZ TV on demand and watch programmes directly on your computer and yet they won't let them be channelled through the Apple TV.
The Apple TV would be more use if it could access TVNZ [ say ] and play the episodes from there instead of having to go through iTunes.
I am a bit cross that Apple market the Apple TV with what it can do in US and yet it wasn't made clear that in New Zealand it is a virtually useless piece of kit.
I have been buying Apple products since 1985 and this is the first time I have been dissatisfied.
Having said that it may not be the fault of the product !! Just the country in which I am trying to use it.
That is another oddity in that New Zealand prides itself in being a World Leader in EFTPOS and internet banking and yet is so abysmal at entertainment sharing !
A very compliant nation where having fun is frowned upon ! -
Why does Group created on Master console does not show any device count mapped on the managed Amp?
Q: Why does Group created on Master console does not show any device count mapped on the managed Amp?
A: When a group is created on master console it will be pushed to all the managed amp which is added with Manage group configuration enabled. The Group pushed to the managed amp will be created as Global group and you can create subscriber groups for the global group to which you will add the device into since we cannot add any devices into global group directly.
Hence there is no device added to the global group, on the master console it does not show any device count for the groups that are created on master console.Laura Quitugua wrote:

Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding. However when I close Nunit, the page is back to be normal. The title is returned to the name of website without "not responding". I sure this problem did not happen on Firefox version 26. I just got this problem when firefox upgrading automatically to version 27. Please help me fix this problem because it is very important for my work. If you need more information pls send your concerns via my email address.
Thanks so muchHi, the work around suggested above should put you in working mode in the meantime. However to help investigate the issue it is possible to analyze what is not loading or taking a long time by analyzing the network traffic or http headers of the Nunit web page.

I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature the picture is there. Why doesn't it show up in the folder?
What system and iPhoto version are you running?
If your're using iPhoto 9 or later Command (right) - click on the photo in the search window and select Show Event in the Contextual menu.
That will take you to the event where the photo is.

Since upgrading to the newest version of ios 8, I can no longer share my photos on facebook. I have tried going to settings-privacy-photos, but the facebook app does not show up for me to change the settings. Any suggestions?
when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries
