Downloads window blank and nothing download - only for PDF files?

FF 25, Mac Mountain Lion.

Last week, stopped download PDF files and the downloads window is empty. Tried Safe Mode and clear memory cache, as well as Disable selectively module DownloadHelper. Nothing has worked. Acrobat plugin is not used, I've always had PDF files in Acrobat itself opening.

It seems to affect only PDF files.

I do not have reset FF because it's so invasive and time-consuming. Any other solution before I resort to that (or switch to Chrome)?

In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not to open PDF files with the internal PDF reader to Firefox), do the following:

  1. Go to Tools > Options (or Firefox > Options).
  2. In the Options window, select the Applications tab.
  3. In the Search box, type PDF. You should find Portable Document Format (PDF).
  4. On the right referring, you should find a column of Action . To select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDFs in Firefox, choose Preview in Firefox.

This solve your problems? The report please come back shortly.

  • Code 80070241 in Windows update and "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file" when you try to run any program.

    Windows Update has appeared today when we started one of our machines, informing us that there are some installed updates. After reviewing the updates, we clicked on the "Install now" button, and immediately, it failed with the above error code.

    I tried to run regedit a reason unrelated, and it came with a dialog box error with "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. »

    After researching here and elsewhere on google and did not find anything suitable, put us in the Win7 disk, recovery tools and tried to go back to a previous system restore point (3 days).

    The restoration went well, restarted, but the problem persists.

    Then, we just tried to install anti-malware software, but when trying to run the installer, we get a different error message indicating 'ShellExecuteEx failed; Code 577 "and then the same message on the verification of the digital signature.

    The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.

    The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.

    It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.

    On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.

    The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.

    Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.

    However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.

    ***************************************************

    Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?

    Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.

    This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.

    So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.

    Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.

    * shrug *.

    status: 0xc0000428

    Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

    * So what the hell is happening? Sorry, but am getting very frustrated by that. I noticed that windows creates a file called windows.old. Avoid the old windows, it's an empty hard disk, and it was an installation of full version. NOT an upgrade. As to why my product key does not work... not even me angry by publishing what I've seen elsewhere in these forums. I DO not pay another $200 for a different product key. This one should work. I just opened this "thing" to do the installation. So if this key was stolen, it was stolen that microsoft has packaged discs.

    Can I safely delete this file called windows.old (assuming that I can always go back to windows 7)? Do you think this has nothing to do with the problem? Or should I do what ppl do upgrades mean that they have to do... Reinstall win 7?
    * He let me use F8 for advanced options to disable the driver signature.

    Thank you! Got the product key problem is resolved. I saw on another post, you stated

    Now that address my other question as much as me have allowed difficulty delivers windows boot is seen? I see that windows 7 is a file boot.ini as previous versions of windows. I would like to see the "command-line" some win 7 has instead of boot.ini file uses. I suspect something may be there that causes the driver signature error... and tried the 'bootrec' methods above doesn't solve anything for me.

    Thanks a lot for your help in this matter. (Once I get the verify signature driver disabled it goes straight in win 7 and win 7 works fine.) It just will not be disabled whenever I start my pc. I always have to fight to get the window that gives me the ability to disable.)

  • Upgrade CPU, system does not boot, winload.exe "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

    Subject pretty much said it all.  I got a new CPU, shut down the computer, installed, and now Win7 does not start.  It hangs on a black screen gripe on a signature file.  Here is the full text:

    "A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source."

    If you have a Windows installation disc, insert the disc and restart your computer.  Click 'Repair your computer' and choose a recovery tool.

    Otherwise, to start Windows, so you can investigate further, press the ENTER key to display the boot menu, press F8 for Advanced Boot Options, select last known good configuration.  If you understand why the digital signature file cannot be verified and want to start Windows without this file, temporarily disable driver signature enforcement.

    Well, the first thing I did was put in the installation CD and reboot to try the thing "repair your computer".  Charge, said he found a problem, said he has fixed the problem and restarted.  But it always hangs on the same screen of the error.

    So I tried to hit Enter and then F8 as it said to do, but brings me right to the error screen.  I'm stuck, there is nothing that I can do, and I need this computer to work tomorrow.

    Another interesting note is that the recovery on the installation CD tool identifies my system installed Windows Vista... wtf.

  • 0xc0000428 error - "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file."

    Original title: 0xc0000428 error

    I'm using Windows Vista and I already had the problem, "the Windows Boot Configuration data file is missing required information" which I have rebuilt the bcd for. Now it won't let me not restart due to the error 0xc0000428, stating "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. How to do this?

    Hi Rajisace,

    ·         How long have you been faced with this problem?

    ·         You did it last changes before the show?

    ·         Please provide us with the file information in the error message.

    Method 1: Try to start the computer using the last good known Configuration and check if you can successfully start.

    Using the last good known Configuration

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/using-last-known-good-configuration

    Method 2: I will suggest you to do material clean boot and check to see if you encounter the same problem.

    1. right click on my computer-> properties

    2 Hardware tab Device Manager->

    3. right click on the sound card, video card and NIC, one by one, then click on turn off

    4 restart the computer.  If the problem is resolved, you can then enable the devices one by one to find the exact mechanism causing the problem

    After you find the device that is causing the problem you can solve by installing the latest driver or replacement of the unit.

    I will also propose you to check if the boot priority is set on hard drive and check if you experience the same problem.

    Method 3: Check a drive for errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

    Important:  If all available hard disk data can be lost when running chkdsk, as the chkdsk attempts to repair the affected area.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • On a PC using Windows and Adobe Reader, I sent 10 PDF files in a zip file and each label of the PDF file with a number from 1 to 10, so that they appear in the order I want. Numbered 1 to 9 records fell in sequence automatically, but number 10

    This is my first time using this forum. I hope that my question made its appearance and that this space is to respond to the answers possible, but just in case, here's my question again:

    On a PC using Windows and Adobe Reader, I sent 10 PDF files in a zip file and each label of the PDF file with a number from 1 to 10, so that they appear in the order I want. Numbered 1 to 9 records fell in the sequence automatically, but the number 10 appears under the number 1 instead of below the number 9. I googled the problem, do not see addressed. I called Microsoft, and they said it's a matter of Adobe. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

    Thank you.

    Not an Adobe issue at all. If you want your files to a single digit (1-9) to appear before the 10, you must add a zero at the beginning.

  • Impossible to access from Firefox 19 update plugin Acrobat for pdf files

    I don't like the new pdf viewer, which keeps throwing warnings and is not nearly as usable as the Acrobat plugin. I wanted to go back to the old plugin Acrobat installed with Adobe Reader XI. I searched these forums and the support files and tried the following, which none worked:

    1. Tools/Options/Applications, change pdf to 'use Adobe Reader'. This measure of reader, but not the plugin. There is no option for "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This option IS sometimes listed Acrobat file as Adobe Acrobat Forms Document.

    2 followed all the advice on this web page, which none worked: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them

    3 reinstalled drive XI. Did not help.

    4 disabled plugin Acrobat to restarted ff... Reactivated it. Restarted. Did not help.

    5 changed pdfjs.disabled to true in topic: config. Made no difference.

    I'm pretty annoyed that I have to waste all that time to go back to something that has worked well. Just another update lame FF that should not happen. You guys are the deployment of updates too often without enough input from users. And what has become of the idea of opt in for optional features instead of just forcing on us. Will seek to use IE, where the plugin works fine.

    I think I solved my problem. I have disabled the plugin for Nitro Pro 7 and the Acrobat plugin is now visible again for pdf files.
