Why is Firefox nownot compatabile with Adobe Reader and Adobe flash 10.o?

The issue with Adobe Reader is when I fine the site I want using Google and the URL is a PDF file click on the site the document will not open.
When trying to down load and install Adobe Flash player I got a message the it was not compatible with Mozilla Firefox
currently I am running Firefox 6.0.2

Pat-Thank you for the tip on Firefox not using Adobe Reader plugin.  I would like to clarify a couple of things.  I do not use Firefox, ever.  I had installed it just to see if I could pull up the PDF files, assuming it used Adobe.  I went to the link you mentioned (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136) on Post 6 at 12:10 a.m. I tried the steps more out of curiousity to see if Adobe would work on Firefox, but could not figure out how to do it. 
At this point though, my concern is I still cannot get Adobe Reader to work on either Vista IE 9 or Windows 7 IE 11.  I still get this message on websites:
To view your statement, you must have Adobe® Reader® installed on your computer.
Download Adobe Reader for free by clicking here.
I really appreciate your time and effort for all on this Forum.  I believe I may not be making myself clear though.  The Flash Player problem is resolved on IE 9 and 11.  But I have tried System Restore, Downloading from the Adobe and other sites when they give me the download adobe reader for free message, and my program manager clearly states the latest version of Adobe Reader is installed.  I cannot figure out where to go from here to get it to work, and as I mentioned before, up until a few days ago, Adobe Reader was working great on all my computers.
One other item.  I notice I am getting literally hundreds of emails about Adobe problems in my inbox from others on the Forum.  How do I stop them from going to my inbox?  Did I set something on the Forum which is making it appear I may be an expert on Adobe issues?  How do I correct this without creating a new email account?

    what is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?What are the procedure to download a Acrobat reader?

    Good day,
    Adobe Reader is a free application we offer for viewing and printing PDF files.  Many years ago, it was known as Acrobat Reader.  You may still see some users refer to Adobe Reader as 'Acrobat Reader'.  Old habits are sometimes hard to break!
    You can download Adobe Reader by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Kind regards,

  • Why does Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player keep installing McaFee Security Scan on my system?

    Whenever I install the Adobe Flash player or Adobe Reader on my system, it downloads and installs McAfee Security Scan Plus at the same time. It does not ask if I want it or not, it instead forces it on me, so I have to then unistall it. I've unistalled it 3 or 4 times in the last week. I DO NOT WANT MCAFEE PRODUCTS on my computer!
    Please make this an option, give the users a choice so we don't have to keep removing the stupid thing.

    Did you 'Uncheck" the relevant box pointed by the red arrow ? If not you accepted the installation with McAfee.

  • Cannot open or launch adobe reader and adobe acrobat will not download

    "Adobe acrobat must be launched" box appears when I try to read a file.  I cannot launch adobe reader; it will not even open.  When I try to download adobe acrobat it says adobe reader is already installed.  Help!

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?  How exactly are you trying to launch Reader?

  • Even though I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player, I still cannot open PDF files.

    Even though I uninstalled Adobe Reader & Adobe Flash Player and reinstalled the latest versions, I still cannot open PDF files.  They always try to open in Word 2010.

    This is a Windows setting. In Windows 7 you can change it through the Control Panel: Either Start>Default Programs  or Start>Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs>Set Associations
    Find .pdf and change it (click Change Program) from Microsoft Word to Adobe Reader. Browse to find the Reader application if necessary: Program Files>Adobe>Reader11>Reader>AcroRd.exe

  • FireFox still identifies pdfs as Foxit documents even though I'm opening them in Adobe Reader and uninstalled the Foxit trial and FF plugin years ago.

    When I click on a pdf file link in FireFox, the Windows open file dialogue opens, saying "You have chosen to open [filename]
    which is: Foxit Reader PDF Document [filesize]
    from: [author]
    What should FireFox do with this file?
    [selected radio button] Open with Adobe Reader
    THERE IS NO PROBLEM OPENING THE FILE. It opens in Adobe Reader, in a window outside of Firefox, which is exactly what I have it set up to do. The problem is that it identifies the file as a "Foxit Reeader PDF Document," even though I uninstalled the Foxit trial and associated FireFox plugin ages ago, and Foxit does not appear anywhere on my computer in any way, shape or form (that I have access to). No Foxit in the file associations for Windows, or in the applications associations for FireFox. There is no Foxit plugin installed, and I even went and deleted what was left of the Foxit directory. Yet pdfs are still identified in FireFox as Foxit files, so FireFox must be storing this old info somewhere. How do I get rid of it?
    BTW, files open in a browser window inside the browser in the other 3 browsers I have installed, so there is no open file dialogue, and I can't tell whether there is the same problem. When I check the properties of a pdf outside of FireFox (by rightclicking a pdf on my desktop, for example), it is identified as an Adobe Reader file. I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. I have two Adobe Acrobat plugins showing in FireFox (10.1.8.24 and 11.0.5.3). Should I have two? No plugins, extensions, or anything else by Foxit.

    Most likely this information is in the mimeTypes.rdf file, which can accumulate a lot of obsolete information which occasionally does cause problems. You can rename the file and have Firefox rebuild it from scratch with only the current applications detected (as far as Firefox can tell from the Windows Registry).
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Restart Firefox. Presumably now it will forget all about Foxit. Unfortunately, it may also have forgotten some of your application preferences, but hopefully those won't take too long to reestablish.

  • Problems with Adobe Reader and Flash Player

    I had an Adobe update last Monday and, ever since then, I can't view documents (eg credit card statements) on screen and sites that I previously visited regularly without problem suddenly say that I need to have Adobe Flash Player installed. I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player and it says it's installed correctly but when I return to the site, it still says I need Adobe Flash Player. I've also tried doing an uninstall first and then an instal but the same thing happens. I've run disk first aid and it found a problem with the Head which it fixed but I still can't open documents using Adobe in Safari. Adobe Plug ins tells me that the Internet Access plug in is not loaded but when I ran 'repair Adobe Reader installation", it said there were no missing components detected and repair was not needed. I don't know if it's relevant but I've been having problems with Safari for several weeks, quitting 3 or 4 times a day, mainly when I'm switching from Safari to another programme such as Entourage or Excel.

    Hi Carolyn
    I don't think I made it clear on the original post that I'm having problems with both Adobe Reader AND Adobe Flash Player. Unfortunately, all the Adobe Reader sites are confidential so I can't give you an illustration on that but for the Adobe Flash Player, try www.jacquielawson.com/ - you can preview cards without being signed in. With the Adobe Reader problems, I get a picture of a blank 'piece of paper' with a small blue square in the top right hand corner that has a white question mark inside it. The first time this happened to me, I was on the UK Inland Revenue site trying to print out some end of year forms. I phoned the Revenue's helpline and they said to try doing a 'save as' to my desktop. It seemed bizarre - saving a blank piece of paper - but lo and behold, when I opened it on my desktop, the forms appeared exactly as normal. However, I've since tried this 'save as' technique with my credit card statement and I still get a blank piece of paper with a blue square and white question mark when I open the desktop copy.
    Thanks for your help and patience. I really appreciate it.

  • Is there any difference between the reader function of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader

    I would think, not.
    Also, can Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat be on the same computer without operational conflicts?
    I know there seemed to be an issue with both back around version 8.

    That would be a great oversimplification. But in terms of displaying PDFs, with default options, yes it will look the same. The controls won't look the same. Form filling too. But what you can do with a form (e.g. whether it can be saved) varies.
