How to get Firefox to display the pdf file in the browser (Win 7, FF 19.0, AA 10.1.6 IE 9)?

After that Firefox updated to version 19, when I tried to view a pdf file, the file appeared in a strange new Viewer. Seemed work OK, but I was concerned (did not know that this is apparently a new feature of 19 FF) and I wanted the viewer Adobe back.

After a few minutes of listening in the FF pdf viewer, a message appears that says something like--this viewer may be displayed not the document correctly. You want to use Adobe Acrobat instead?-I clicked on Yes.

Now, when I click on a link for a pdf file, it will either automatically opens in Adobe Acrobat (windows application, no player in FF) format, or I'll get a dialog box that asks if I want to save the file or use Adobe Acrobat to open it.

I followed the instructions here:

http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/use-Adobe-Reader-plugin-view-or-download-PDF-files?ESAB=a & s = View + PDF + in + browser & r = 0 & s = ACE

Delete the mimetypes.rdf file

Delete the pluginreg.dat file

I would like to know if you think I've missed any information that would be useful. Now I know the new PDF viewer's native FF, I wouldn't mind trying it.

Thank you!

Which

Adobe Acrobat repair

If I start IE and click on a pdf in IE, I can display a PDF in IE, but IE, anyone?

OK, I guess I'll try uninstall-reinstall FF and Adobe and all other PDF readers

  • [SOLVED] [Firefox [19] How can I get Firefox to display the PDF files?

    When I first installed Firefox 19, the PDF Viewer worked so well that I uninstalled Adobe Reader. Today, after an update system, Firefox stopped display local PDF. If I open a PDF file directly from a Web site, the internal PDF Viewer active and the PDF file is displayed correctly. However, if I open a PDF to my hard drive, Firefox just displays a mass of confused characters and the internal PDF Viewer does not work.

    Here is a screenshot of the behavior: http://i.imgur.com/5Of0kUH.png

    I tried to start in safe mode and the behaviour persisted. I really hope there is a fix for this, because the use of Firefox to view PDF files is really much better my workflow.

    EDIT - SOLUTION IN RESPONSE

    SOLUTION

    1. In the terminal, type: # firefox - ProfileManager
    2. Create a new profile.
    3. Start with the profile said.
    4. Fixed. Internal PDF Viewer now works in a profile.
  • How can I get firefox to open a pdf file in adobe instead of the new pdf reader?

    Before the recent update, 19.0, I google something and see [PDF] next to a link. I click the Center button to open it in a new tab. Firefox might download the file and open it with Adobe Reader. I like this.

    With the new update 19.0, the pdf file would open in the new tab. I have to down load it and then open it in Adobe. I don't like this.

    I'm going to preferences under applications. I look to see if I can change that. Next to document Adobe Reader, I choose to use Adobe Reader, but when I click on a link [PDF], it always opens the file in Firefox and not Adobe.

    I want to go back to the way it was.

    Problem: Open a pdf file in Firefox, he wants to save the file.
    Remedy:
    In Firefox, tools, Options, choose the column on the left (Content Type) Applications tab, select Portable Document Format (pdf). Right column (Action) choose Preview in Firefox.
    I use Firefox 21.0.

  • When I click to open a new tab how to get Firefox to display recent used frequently the web pages instead of my home page?

    When I click the icon "more" to open a new tab appears again my homepage. It displays a page of Web sites recently or frequently used in a format of screenshot showing the home page of the Web site that I could then click on and this website would be the load. Recently, Yahoo had an overlay on its splash screen that asked if I wanted it to be my default search engine. Without thinking, I clicked it and that seemed to change the way my home pages loaded on startup and how clicking on a tab is no longer produced the results I'm looking for as described above. I have since fixed the problem of the homepage so that it now loads properly when Firefox starts.
    Help, please. I would just go back to what I had when I clicked open a new tab. If anyone needs more information or clarification I will provide willingly. Thank you very much.

    One of your modules corresponds to this number, for example, the version 3.18, or sounds associated with "hp" in some way? You can copy and paste a list of your extensions in a response by selecting the Extensions from the list on the next page with the mouse, then using Ctrl + c or right click > copy. Either:

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

    When you paste, it's a little messy, but we are used to it.

  • How to get firefox to display all content of the Web site?

    Ex: bloomberg BAT Web site does not display fully, the graph of the section test score is not shown on the page, while that work correctly in Internet Explorer. The problem occurs only in the version 27.0.1. I try to reset firefox, remove it and then reinstall, delete the cookies & caches but none of these works.

    Can you help me solve this problem for all content displayed on the page.

    Better subject.

    Kim

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    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).

    Have you tried the Firefox zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
    You can "zoom in" all sites using this add-on: NoSquint. After setting your overall zoom level, you can still adjust the zoom on different sites.
    After the installation of NoSquint, click on the % in the bar of the add-on call site preferences, then click the global settings button, then the zoom tab.

    If you do not have the bar the module displayed, you can click the new tab button ("+") or a box empty bar tab to the right of the item and choose the module bar on the shortcut menu.

    You can experiment with sizes greater than 125%, but I wouldn't not much higher than 150% unless you have a large screen high resolution.

    If there are sites that are still a concern, feel free to post their URLs.

    You can find more information about the features of zoom Firefox offer in these articles:

    Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages - to zoom text only

  • How can I get Firefox to display the Facebook comments to my blog the Huffington Post?

    I am a blogger for the Huffington Post. They recently moved all comment to Facebook activity, and I see comments from readers via Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox. I would like to know what to do about it? I see a small link that takes me to a page of information "Facebook Social Addin", on Internet Explorer. Missing Firefox? Or is there another solution?

    Your "Disconnect" extension aims to reduce multisite followed by Facebook? It is possible that is a factor because I think that the code that retrieves the observations (hosted on connect.facebook.net) can be on the same server as the code that generates the button I like.

    What version of the plugin are you using for a PDF file? For example, this is what I see:

    If the problem occurs on some sites including, could you provide a URL or describe any reason than those which may differ for other PDF files?

    If the issue occurs for all the PDF files, you could test these sites in Mode safe? It's a standard diagnosis in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings).

    First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

    Then restart Firefox in Mode safe (questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode) of Firefox help

    Help > restart with disabled modules

    In the dialog box, click "start mode safe."

    If a PDF file is operating normally, it points to one of your extensions or custom as the problem settings.

    Any difference?

    You can use the code in userChrome.css to set a lower minimum width for normal tabs (not pinned APP) to have several visible tabs on the tab bar.

    The problem is that Firefox 13 + shows is no longer a list all tabs button, unless the scroll buttons are visible, so it can be difficult to locate the other tabs.
    You would need to hover a tab to display the tool tip if you don't see the label.

    There is no exchange of free display.  You will pay is the AppleCare + fresh incident (if you bought AC +), or the elimination of guaranteed replacement costs / costs of replacing the screen.  Your best bet would be to visit the Apple store with a genius bar appointment.
