Download PDF - why not intuitive?
Hello! New Firefox user here, since I'm too bored with IE crashing. So, I often download PDFs from the Web. With IE, you get a pop-up window asking you to choose a location to save the download. I like that. But with Firefox, all I can do is to download on some 'library' that I can't find on my computer or retrieve items from. My two questions:
1. where is the library? On my computer - where?
2. I don't want articles on a flash drive, in a library. How can I specify to Firefox to save the article on my flash drive or an office, rather than the library?
Thank you!
Thank you guys so much!

Downloads PDF does not open, it's a matter of FF?
When I download a PDF file now, it saves a file OK, but when I try to open it, a pop-up window indicates that it is not a PDF file or a file in Adobe. The extension is .pdf. Thank you
I doubt if it's a Firefox problem.
Windows say about these files when you right click on the file and select Properties?
What happens with all the PDF files?
Or just a few from a given source?These files may have been created by another program PDF and may not be fully compatible with Adobe Reader. Or these PDFs can be altered in any way.

Why isn't Adobe reader is no longer let me view previously (from Safari) download pdf? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the player. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded)." I tried to change the options 'open with' too. Thank you
Try this:
Go to: Mac/HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the files AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
Empty the trash
Restart Safari. You can now download the PDFs intact.

With a compatible operating system, do not download Firefox, why?
I have a compatible operating system, which is approved by Firefox, but I received information from Firefox that downloading an is not compatible with my system. How confusing. Anyone know why this is happening?
giraffe2:
The architecture of your system has not been supported by any new version of Firefox since the release of Firefox 4 March 22, 2011. You are already on the latest Firefox (version 3.6.26) that is compatible with Mac PPC.
Read the information I posted above on TenFourFox as a replacement for Mozilla Firefox to your older system architecture.

Downloaded PDF file is not readable
For more than a site, I downloaded PDF files and saved on my computer. I am running the latest version of Firefox under Win 7 32 bit. When I go to open the file with the latest version of Adobe Reader 9 or Foxit, I get an error message indicating that the file is not in a recognized format or is corrupted. (Although the content of the messages are different, it is the substance). Download the same file in IE produces files that can be read by a PDF reader.
I don't mean to play the file in Firefox, just download it, then open it. None of the threads that I've explored seems to solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated as I really don't want to use IE anymore.
Thank you!!
A quick update on my problem. After I posted this question, I remembered seeing a post somewhere that mentioned a performance bug that occurs when the downloaded file is being saved to a folder on a network computer, not the computer that's been downloaded. That's what I do. So, to test it, I changed the location where FireFox stores files downloaded from the network location mapped to a folder on the computer that I use to do the download. Guess what? The downloaded files are OK and not considered "corrupt". I can't find the post that said that there is a problem with FF transfer the file to the computer on the network without giving full NTFS file properties, but this seems to be the issue. So, I guess I just solved my problem. Go figure.

Why not CS4 "save the file" so it can be downloaded? I went to another page where the CS4 files were available for download, but it didn't happen. Are CS4 files is no longer available for earlier clients? I don't have the DVD of CS4. Stupidly, I thought that Adobe would have these archived files and I would not need to follow the hard drive.
Kindly try to CS4 download products using this link. Please try to change the browser if this link does not work.

with newly downloaded PDF books, font size adjustment does not work. Printing is still too low. How this fixed it please.
Hi Bernice,
Using Adobe Reader you will not be able to change the font size.
To change the font size, you must have Acrobat installed on your computer free trial download Adobe Acrobat | Acrobat Pro DC.
Kind regards

I downloaded the installer on my mac and it proceeds to the installation but I still do not have the program / logo in my top bar of the screen. Why not?
Hi Emma,
Have you checked under Applications > Adobe Creative Cloud.
There should be a shortcut if the installation went well.

I've updated Adobe Flash to 15.0.0152 via the system of preferences update in the Flash icon. But no DMG file has been downloaded. This never happened in the past... Why not?
Since your any question related to an external site and does not clearly represent the destination of the link, I have the irreversible.
For completeness, here is the link to zero Google announcement that you referenced.
Google online security blog: project announcing zero
In case you weren't aware, our engineering organization works closely with zero Google and many other partners in industry and universities to make sure that we are adapting to the latest threats in the two emerging research and in the real world and the security of end users is of paramount concern.
To answer your specific questions, when you update for Flash Player native to the Panel, we provide a streamlined workflow that downloads the installer to a temporary directory, run it and finally deletes it at the end.
If you are not comfortable with this mechanism and want more visibility and control over the installation process, you can always download the installer directly from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and install manually.
