Cannot open PDF files in the browser. I tried every fix mentioned and it still does not work!
I have Windows XP. Using firefox as my browser. All of a sudden, I can't open the PDF files in the browser. I tried all the mentioned patches. Nothing works! Check the configuration of the plugin, checked the settings Adobe Reader.
Is the problem that Firefox opens a blank tab, or that it requires you to download the file?
I guess you tried switching spectators between the internal viewer and the Adobe plugin. If this article does not, steps: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer. Sometimes behind switching will allow to correct an error in the settings file.
You can rename or delete the settings file that stores these associations and have Firefox regenerate. If the file is corrupt, this could be the only option that works. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.
Leave this window open, activate any Firefox window and quit the program (for example, the file menu > exit or Firefox menu > Exit)
Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox. Your likely PDF preferences will be reset to the internal PDF Viewer, but you can activate the Adobe plugin as described in the above-linked article.
Any improvement?

Newb: cannot display PDF files in the browser
I have a new Windows 7 computer and have installed Acrobat Standard 9.3.2 and Reader 9.3.1.
Whenever I try to 'download' (i.e. display) a PDF file in the browser IE (or Firefox 3.6), I get the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web browser. "
Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. "Quit and try again."
The error remains the same that either Acrobat or Reader race / is not running before the attempt to download. My workaround solution is to save the file to disk, and then open it. It is a pain and should not be necessary.
Any advice anyone can give me to fix this problem will be received with thanks a lot!

Discussed several times that Acrobat and Reader should NOT be installed at the same time, because they confuse between them
Uninstall the drive, and then create a repair Acrobat installation

When I right-click a link and select 'open in a new tab' and 'opens in a new window', nothing happens. In addition, nothing happens when I type a query in the search bar and press ENTER. I tried to restart firefox in safe mode and disabling all add-ons, but the problems continue.
The setting in "tools > Options > tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead" is for links that specify a target window (for example, target = _blank) to open the link.
This option allows to divert these links into a new tab instead of a new window.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab, unless you redefine that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left click (new tab) or a left click UPDATE (new window) or via the context menu.You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.
If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.
Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

I did according to the instructions RE: cut and paste, still does not work.
This is what is shown as my profile directory
/Home/davidlisle/.Mozilla/firefoxsa4u14wa.default-1390261301661It's the user.js, I created in accordance with the online instructions page:
// This file can be used to configure global preferences for Firefox // Example: Homepage pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.linkedin.com/"); user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
However, the data but followed instructions do not produce the expected results.
Right now I see myself forced to use another browser as I work a lot on the line and I 'should' be able to copy / paste. If you can respond in a timely and a solution, I'll continue with firefox, I like. Otherwise, my frustration level has peaked and interest in firefox is rapidly declining.I should be able to accomplish this task with simple steps, not an eternity of troubleshooting your installation bad 'protection '. I am equally sure that many others have no problem, I do however.
I have provided some basic information about this machine, if you need something specific, I'm sure I'll be happy to hand it to you.

Re: Installed update the BIOS for my Pro Satellite L300D and now screen does not work
Hello
I installed the update of the BIOS 3 days ago, I had a few programs that are open at the time and also an external USB mouse in time. The hard drive crashed and then blacked out, but the power was still on the turbine runs at full skin. I tried to turn off the computer by the power button, but it wouldn't, so I let it run out of battery. Since then, the computer seems to turn on but the screen has been blackened since then, I can't see what the State of the hard drive is in.
Any ideas?
Hello!
Oh dude, it looks like that your ROM module is damged due to a defective BIOS update :(
A BIOS update should normally * do not get with the implementation of substantive programmes (also antivirus). I think that's the reason why the n t successfully update.
However, you can do nothing. You will need help from a technician for laptop that can try to reflash the ROM module On the Toshiba page, you can search an ASP:
