How can I view all PDFs open in Firefox?

I have difficulties, preview of PDF files using Firefox. My OS is Ubuntu 14.04 and I use Firefox 38.0, Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0. I'll have a problem that sometimes when I select PDFs, instead of preview of the file, I get a pop-up window to download the file, or view it in an external viewer. I still want to listen to samples of PDF files in Firefox with the ability to download my files if I right click or select Download in the bar at the top of the preview. I can be affected by this (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1045118) same problem but I still get an error when selecting "I have this problem, too.

The problem occurs whenever I try to open a PDF file of my Zotero library. These files are already on my files for download, it makes no sense. In general, I want to just a quick overview to see which file it is, so if I want to read and annotate the file I select to open it in an external player. The behavior has changed recently, probably due to an update. I tried to go into preferences-> Applications then sought setting 'pdf' and noticed there is actually two different "Content Type" listed, "PDF document" and "Portable Document Format (PDF). In the action menu for the latter, there is an option to "Preview in Firefox" but for "PDF document", there is no option, only 'Always ask' or 'Save file' but when he asks, he gives me only one option to download so both are useless when the file is already on my computer. I uploaded a screenshot it so I hope it helps.

If I can't get this working, I'll see if Chrome/chromium will allow me to get an overview of the pdf. I really don't want to use another browser to Zotero.

Given that the file system cannot send a content-type header to Firefox, preference standard - Format de Document Portable (PDF) - would not apply.

The file that contains your file handling preferences is difficult to change, so the usual suggestion is to remove and let Firefox build a new and see if that works better. If you want to try it:

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

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

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

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > exit {don't know where it is on Linux}

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

Launch Firefox back up again. If you check your Application preferences, did you notice something new/different for PDF files?

If there is no improvement, and you prefer to cancel the change, you can exit Firefox, delete the new mimeTypes.rdf and rename mimeTypes.old in mimeTypes.rdf.

  • How can I view all the elements of an array?

    Hello

    I'm learning about the handling of tables.  The example finder includes this one, 'build array_forum.vi', which shows the two modes, concatenate and adding, I understand, HOWEVER, I can't understand how they built this vi.  For example, I can find the Array function to build, but I do not understand how they created the "digital data table 1" "data table 2" digital... etc, and I can't find the functions on the pallets that cause display "build the CONCATENATE entries table". ".  Where are these blue functions?

    Where these functions are found in the palette, and how we build them like that?

    The other vi indicated here, 'for loop array_forum.vi' is my attempt to reproduce, but it doesn't show all the elements of the array; However, it only displays a SINGLE element, the last element of the array.  How can I view all the items in the table I am creating using the FOR LOOP?

    Thank you

    How can I combine PDF documents which are analyzed together and how can I combine all Word documents?

    Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    You can use Adobe PDF package to combine files (PDF and Word) in PDF format. If you want to combine Word files and to retain the Word format, Microsoft Word is the tool to use, then I think it would be as simple as choosing all in a document Word, then in copying and pasting in the other.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • How can I save all tabs open without saving each individually? seems he was once a "Save all tabs" command, wasn't there?

  • How can I view all the keyboard shortcuts assigned, including those of my installed modules?

    I was looking for a screenshot of the add-on and noticed that the invocation of an option is Ctrl-Shift-H, but it's Ctrl-Shift-K on my system. The add-on has no options (it's the Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus) so I can't put this keyboard shortcut. So, I'm curious to know all the shortcuts on my system, including what is Ctrl-Shift-H.

    You can use the extension Keyconfig or DOM Inspector and open the first Chrome window (file > inspect Chrome Document).

    Open the keyset (#mainKeyset) branch to display all keyboard shortcuts that the DOM Inspector has found.

    The Keyconfig extension can change the shortcut keys and also will show a list of currently assigned shortcut keys.

    Hi Bess,

    It would be better that you could provide more information on this issue.

    What application you are trying to download the file? Is any e-mail Application or SkyDrive?

    If you try to upload a file with a long file name to the SkyDrive or Mail application, it wouldn't show the full name of the file when the download of the file. It shows only a part of the name of the file. It comes to the design of these applications.

    To find the full file name, the only option is to rename the name of the file to a short name and then download the files on the machine or SkyDrive App.

    I hope this helps.

    I use CS2 for centuries and recently opted for a version of Photoshop. I use a mac. In CS2, I could drag my mouse in a corner of the screen and display all open files.

    If you do not disable the tabs

    Photoshop > Preferences > Interface > Open Documents as tabs
