Firefox will not remember to use the reader for PDF downloads

When you use Gmail, I have an email with attachments in PDF. For each PDF attachment, there are 3 possibilities: use the player integrated, download or copy of Google Drive. When I selected download, the popup says "you have chosen to open:...» "and then offers you two selections: 'Open with' and 'Save File '. Previously, the option 'Open with' remember that I wanted to use the drive with the PDF file. It no longer does this. I have to go and find the drive every time, even if I clicked "do this automatically". Whenever I have go to the player, he will use it. It won't be just remembering to use drive next time. Under Application Options, it does not for the PDF files, it must 'Use Adobe Reader'. I reinstalled Firefox, as well as ensuring that records in my application profile data have been deleted, so there is a clean version.

Test with a single message, it seems that Google sends good content-type header (' application/pdf'). The present attached screenshot the "response headers" in the web console.

Sometimes the settings file that stores your preferences for handling download becomes corrupt with duplicated or contradictory information. Its format internal being impenetrable, it is generally easier to remove the file and have Firefox rebuild. You must update your PDF preferences once again, but I hope that it will work again.

Here's how:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • Menu help > troubleshooting information

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button.

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • File menu > exit

Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

Restart Firefox upward, review the Options/Applications and select PDF preferences, then retest Gmail. Any improvement?

  • Firefox will not import all of the favorite Internet explore

    All my favorites Internet Explore will not transfer on Firefox. I already tried all of the suggestions:

    • import from internet explore
    • Export Favorites to internet explore then import into firefox

    Only half of my favorites are passed to firefox. Very frustrating.

    If there are problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

    If you don't have the menu bar in Internet Explorer, and then right-click on the toolbar above to activate the menu bar.

  • Firefox does not remember volume level on flash for example of YouTube videos files, why?

    Audio and video files always start playing at full volume, rather than to remember the previous volume. Disable all add-ons does not solve the problem, and the problem does not exist when I use other browsers. I tried to go into the settings of my flash (local and global when right-clicking on a video) and say things to allow the storage of data on my hard drive, but it also has not solved the problem.

    Some flash videos in fact retain the status level / mute volume, but YouTube, DailyMotion and others are not among them even if they are working correctly when I use Chrome. This is extremely irritating because it resets the volume up during playback of the playlist.

    I noticed just now that you somehow seem to be two versions of the Flash Player installed. Perform a new installation of the latest version as follows.

    1. From the next page, save the program uninstall handy somewhere, like the office.

    2. In the next page, save the installer for other browsers. If you are also using Flash Player in Internet Explorer, also save the ActiveX version.
    3. Close all applications.
    4. Launch the uninstaller.
    5. In Windows Explorer, try to open the following folders. If they exist, delete them manually.
      • C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\
      • %AppData%\Adobe\Flash Player\
      • %AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player\
    6. Restart your computer.
    7. Run the Setup program for the other browsers.
    8. Run the installation of the ActiveX program if you downloaded it.
  • Drawing markup and annotation using the reader with PDF Commenting-Enabled files

    Recently I bought Acrobat Standard to produce posts PDF files for my employees who use Acrobat Reader.

    I have used these features in the past with Acrobat Pro, but there is any documentation that refers to what seems to be limits.  For example, using Acrobat Standard I can send a PDF for email review, but the only tools that my staff can use with player are the sticky notes and highlighter.  In the past, when I've used Pro, all markup capabilities, including drawing and annotations as bar suite markup were available.

    I searched everywhere for more information about the activation of these other annotation tools, but find nothing.  Am I missing something or is this a few misleading ads that led me astray.

    You must either upgrade to Acrobat Pro or users must upgrade to

  • HP 15-d 103tx not able to use the bluetooth for Windows 7/64 bit architecture

    Hello

    I have recently bought the 15 - d 103tx hp laptop computer and that you have installed windows 7, 64-bit in it. I found all the required drivers for Windows 7 from the Web site, except the Bluetooth drivers. I have my adapter wireless as below:

    Qualcomm-Atheros 802.11b/g/n WiFi QCA9565 adapt. I tried to install the driver for Qualcomm Atheros QCA 9000 series Bluetooth 4.0 + HS drivers in my system, but I'm still not able to use my bluetooth. I'm not able to search for other bluetooth devices, and I'm not able to find my laptop by other bluetooth devices. Can someone help me here please? Thank you very much!

    False alarm! Must have been asleep during the attempt. Its market now, using the same drivers. Had to reinstall once, however.

  • Call in the report for PDF download query does nothing

    I am trying to download a PDF report based on 2 queries. Each query has a where clause clause with values taken from the page elements. I installed Publisher OBI 11.1.1.5 and used the term of Publisher 11.1.1.5 OBI plug-in to create the RTF file that I downloaded then the components Shared-> presentation of the State.

    I created a new button in the region to call the report query. However, whenever I click on the button to download the PDF file, nothing happens. I looked at the debug and the button seems to be running OK, except that nothing happens.

    The APEX of BOIP configuration works since I was able to have BOIP generate another report that do not use the predefined query. In other words, parts of reports including the attributes defined print "allow printing of the report = Yes" and 'layout of report = report default layout' work very well. Reports based on the query predefined and launched with a button in the region do nothing.

    Environment: APEX 4.1, DB 11.2.0.2, BOIP 11.1.1.5

    Any contributions to this PDF issue is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you
    Reid

    Hello Reid,

    Thanks for reporting back!

    It now works with a button linked to printing the report query URL. This method was not working before because when I deleted/recreated the presentation of the report, the layout of request report report had to "use generic Report Layout. When I changed the presentation of the report query to the name of the correct report layout, button link to the print URL worked as expected.

    He therefore finally brought its fruits check attributes...

    Still, he doesn't when I create a button with action = 'Download printable report Query'. I tried several times, but couldn't make it work. It seems that it is a bug, but I can't say for sure.

    It should work as long as you have configured the report query according to the needs and assured the session state is included.

    Go ahead rather than use the with action = "Download the printable report query", I'll use a button with Action is "Redirection of URL" where the URL is the URL for the report query printing.

    In this case, my guess would be the session state, because you will always she, when redirecting to the session, and the report query seems to agree.

    P.S.: If you don't mind, please check all useful or correct accordingly to ensure that other users of the forum search can identify those posts easily.
    Thank you!

  • Firefox can not confirm because using the obsolete browser

    Has decided to update/upgrade my browser (IE current, 9). Downloaded Firefox, but cannot confirm my account, I get a "your browser" is obsolete message.

  • Firefox redirecting not when you use the script Window.Print

    Have a simple java script on a Web page to display the print dialog box before the redirection to another page.

    < a onclick = "javascript:window.print()" href ="Screen.php" > print, and continue < /a > "

    When the print dialog box will appear if you print it does not redirect but remains on the page. If you cancel printing, it will go ahead and redirect to where it is supposed to go. Worked fine before the last update I was wondering if there was a work around for this or if anyone was aware of this.

    The inconsistency is confusing. If you change your onclick to the following code, you can see a difference of synchronization in the appearance of the confirm dialog box which may be related to the problem. Maybe printing went from synchronous to asynchronous and now the navigation is attempted at a time when it is not allowed?

    onclick="window.print(); if(!confirm('Finished printing?')) return false;"

  • 20.0.1: file == &gt; new window &amp; private in new window only will not open then Firefox will not stop running when the application is closed

    Although nothing seems to happen when clicking new window or new private window, there seems to be some process started because when I try to close Firefox and reopen it, I get an error message saying that Firefox is already running. My only option then is to stop the process through the Task Manager. I tried (many times) to uninstall and reinstall.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

    There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.

    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.
