Why when I try to open a PDF file in Firefox 6 or earlier versions, why does it open multiple tabs, endlessly opening empty tabs in the browser?

I do not have any PDF addons installed. Have Adobe Reader (the program) open when it does this and when its not open. Please Help before I need to select a different browser

Rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.
You should never select Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get the open with download dialog.

When I try to insert several pdf files into an initial one, they consistently are attached in reverse order, no matter how I instruct the program. How do I correct this?

I am working with Acrobat X Pro. I open a pdf, then try to insert several files, in a specific order, into the first one. No matter whether I instruct it to place the files after the first, last or name a page number, the files are inserted in reverse order after the initial file. How do I overcome this problem?

Thanks Bill !! for providing the simple answer - this has saved me much work. I always assumed that Acrobat would either a) sort the inserted files alphanumerically or b) use the sort order of the OS's file selector. The c) answer of inserting the files in the reverse order of the OS file selector (since Acrobat will reverse that order) eluded me until now.
It's clearly a bug in the program, I'm using Acrobat X Pro, but had the exact same problem with Acrobat 7 - never occurred to me to sort the file listing in reverse alphanumeric order in order to have Acrobat insert them in correct alphanumeric order.
Thank!

When I try to download a pdf file in Firefox, I get a blank page with the words "application/pdf Object" appearing in the title bar and no download takes place.

Using Firefox 12.0. I am told that my Firefox is up to date.

Hello brettak,
it seems like there is a bug with your Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers (version 10.1.3) and you should check for updates on the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ plugincheck] website.
Possible solutions to this problem can be found at:

Let me know how it goes and thank you for your patience and interest in Mozilla Firefox!

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.
the log says the bellow details...what's the problem and how can i resolve it? thanks.

TS3276 When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail the pdf is opened in the e-mail, replacing the text. How do I attach it as a file?

When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail it opens and is pasted into the e-mail. How do I attach it as a file?

It is an attachment, it is the way Apple Mail program displays it. When you add the attachment by either using the attach clip or drag and drop, have your cursor were you want the file to be, i.e. under text you have already written.
You can test for yourself that they are still attachments, log into the web account of your email if it as one and send an email to yourself from Apple mail with an attachment and on the web account it will show as an attachment.

Hello there,
Have you checked if your PDF Plugins are updated? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

Hope this helps!

Firefox closes when I try to view a pdf file

when I try to view a pdf file a warning comes up and firefox closes

I am not sure what is happening, but if you are unable to open pdf file whilst they are on your computer, it is unlikely that you will be able to open pdf files that are on the internet.
I am not sure your problem is with firefox, because it seems you may not be able to open pdf files even with another application such as Adobe Reader.
The runtime error message is probably generated by your OS Vista, and indicates you have a problem with whatever you are trying to run.
* see [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-a-runtime-error MS link] '' " What is a runtime error? " ''
Post back again once you are able to open ordinary pdf files that are on your computer.

Have been here before but still have not resolved a fix for a black screen when I try to access a PDF file using Safari...Now I've got a new iPad and need the User Guide which is only available in PDF and FireFox will not work.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
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.

Why am I unable to select within the URL bar of a new tab after opening a .pdf file in Firefox 4?

To repeat the problem:
1.) Open a .pdf file in Firefox 4
2.) Open a new tab by using the (+) tab button
3.) Try to select within the URL bar (unsuccessful)
I cannot seem to direct my browser to a new website in a new tab after viewing a .pdf file within the browser.

Restore your default toolbar by going to Customize - Restore Default Set. I just found it out myself.
