PDF does not opens in Firefox windows

Hello

I am running FF v.28 and were not able to open PDF files in a very long time. In fact, I don't remember the last time it worked correctly. When you click on a PDF link, the page opens is empty or nothing happens. I can view PDF in this other browser without problems. I tried 'various' bugs found on the net but still nothing. I'll try FF removal and reinstallation as a last resort. Otherwise, I am at my wits end.

Thank you.

A few things:

(1) your "more details of the system" shows two different plugins Adobe PDF (10 and 11 series). You may need to disable one of those.

Open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

In the left column, click on Plugins. Search for "Adobe Acrobat" and definition of one of them "never activate.

(2) try changing your viewer.

The settings file that stores stock for Firefox cannot display on its own sometimes of the files is corrupt, and once or twice in the Options dialog box layout can help to straighten out.

This article describes how to access the PDF setting: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer.

A little luck?

    Is there a way to create a hyperlink to a url that ' climbs to ' window of the URL if it is already open in the browser?  Therefore, a new window does not open and the existing window containing the hyperlink would not change either.

    If the target url is not already open, then yes the link could be open in a new window or in an existing window.

  • Downloaded pdf files does not open in firefox

    I have this irritating problem. I need to open pdf files that are already uploaded and stored on my hard drive, so it would be easier to translate their and ect. Either I'm doing wrong, but when I try to do, I always get a regular save/open quickly.

    I tried to paste the url of domain Firefox url (file:///C:/Users/Kaunaus/Desktop/Bakalaurinis/EPFL_TH5664.pdf);
    And on the right, click on PDF-> open with-> Firefox.

    Same command prompt. If I choose to open, it opens with Adobe Reader (not in the Firefox tab), check-in - saves a copy to a specific location.

    All solutions?

    Hello freedomas, you can try the following?

    go in firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open upwards - in there remove the file named mimetypes.rdf (which stores the actions to handle different types of files) - it will be regenerated the next time you launch the browser.

  • There are many versions I [changed an option] so that PDF files does not open in Firefox. v 42.0, now I have no pdf viewer by default/built-in at all.

    I don't know how long it was, but I decided that I didn't want to use the pdf viewer by default in Firefox at the time, and because things have been very slow in the browser, I disabled the default viewer and set options to ensure that all PDF files that are open outside of the browser and directly in Adobe. I have no memory of what I've done to get there in time.

    Now for c. 42.0 (and 41.0.2, front) when I go to Options > Applications and select one of the "Adobe Acrobat Document" s, my only options are always "ask," "Save the file", or «Use other...» "and there is certainly no option of Firefox Viewer in 'another use. »

    With Adobe Reader latest terms and the fact that they can now push updates when they want, I just * never * use again.

    How to bring back the integrated pdf viewer? I realize there are other pdf viewers and I'm picking through those, but I would still have a browser too.

    Oh, hang on, I missed something. When you go into Options > Application, the content type that you want to change is Portable Document Format (PDF) , which is the standard type application/pdf. (The others being obscure guys like Marlon who are not your problem). Does it work?

    I had problems with links in emails not open their web pages when I clicked on them. I've read some of the info on the help and decided to reset default Firefox.
