Set preferences to circumvent the new PDF Viewer

• Don't like the new pdf.js Viewer. How can I disable it and restore Acrobat Reader as my favorite plugin?

  I don't really like the look-and-feel of the new pdf.js Viewer. On my machine (6 yr old HP running Windows XP with sp 3) it displays more slowly than Acrobat Reader, and I was perfectly happy with the Acrobat Reader plugin. Frankly, I want to disable pdf.js, but have not been able to find a way to do it. It does not appear anywhere that I could find the Add-ons Manager. I don't want to be forced to use a feature that seems to be a detriment to performance, at least for me. Mozilla, please review this!

  You can set the pref pdfjs.disabled true on the topic: config page to disable the build-in the PDF Viewer and use the Adobe Reader software instead.

• How to set preferences so that open new tabs to the same page that activates when the command-T has been affected?

  By opening a new tab, the default tab opens to thumbnails based on recent history. The Safari, I want the new tab to open * to the same page, as was active when command-T was hit *. What are the specific actions, to set the default value (preference), new pages to open 'same page '? ('Same page' is check in Safari preferences box).

  Note, I've sailed available Support of Mozilla and using about: config have reset browser.newtab.url so that the new tab appears empty (stop followed recent history for this purpose).

  Note, most importantly, I found this article of Support Forum, which, although written challenge, gave me a temporary solution:

    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/891635
  

  (The temporary solution for the Mac OS is to command-click the icon 'Reload current page' in the url/address box in the browser toolbar, which opens a new tab in the same window).

  However, I would like to define this as a preference permanent and would ask someone give me a solution. Cheers, teacher

  You can't, that's why I suggested the modules above. There is no option in the user interface or preferably hidden in Firefox that can duplicate a tab whenever you open a new tab browser.newtab.url can only be set to a fixed address, what address is to be opened in the current tab.

  Are the only two built-in methods to duplicate a tab:

  1. Hold down the Option key and drag the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
  2. Hold down the command key and click the reload of the address bar.

• I need a full-screen PDF Viewer. Is not the new DC Viewer.

  Years, I used Adobe PDF viewer as my preferred method to do the actual presentations. Now the new version of DC is not a complete Viewer. I prefer the old version especially for my iPad. Is this possible?

  Hi Fulton Cook,

  If you press once on the screen, you can view the PDF in version full screen on your Acrobat DC application for ipad. Are you facing specific challenges?

  Kind regards

• the default PDF Viewer does not work

  I understand that Firefox has a default PDF Viewer, but it does not work on my Mac OS 10.6.8. When I click on a pdf document, nothing happens.

  When you click on a link to a PDF file, you get a blank page or a black background with an empty progress bar, or you get absolutely nothing?

  Can you try to change your setting as described in the following article to launch the PDF outside Firefox and see if that works? After this test, you can change it back and repeat the internal viewer. How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer

  A little luck?

• 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.

• How can I get PDF listed in 'Options' > 'applications '? I want to stop the FF pdf reader and use the Tracker pdf viewer.

  I use FF 21.0 Desktop ruinning Windows 7-64.

  I want to stop FF pdf viewer and use my Tracker pdf viewer, as I did before the addition of FF look a pdf.
  I tried to go into options > applications, but it is not listed for pdf display line other than a single line for Tracker.
  I think I need a line that mentions PDFs in the left column, then a list in the right column, allowing me to use the Tracker (if all goes well as a plugin).

  I am lost at this point and would like to have the older FF with no look at pdf, built in.

  Help please.

  Files should always be downloaded if you want to open.
  
  Some are saved in the cache disk (Flash for example) and others in the temp folder (those passed to other external programs and plugins).

• I can't set up email on the new iMac

  I don't know what is happening, but when I try to configure my e-mail account in the e-mail program on my new iMac, I get back a message that the email already exists.  However, enter the mail program to try to put in place shows clearly that he is not there at all. Now, when I load the e-mail program, he immediately asks me to choose an e-mail provider.  When I try to get that, well done, as shown above, it says "account already exists.  When the e-mail program load and I get that "choose the mail provider", I can see that there is an email "Inbox", however, I can't click anything else than to try to set up my email.  I guess at this point that the Inbox I see is probably that of iCloud.  No matter who else have similar problems with the e-mail program on their iMac?  I would appreciate a lot of insight as to what may be the cause of this and, possibly, how I can fix it. This isn't the case on any other apple device, I have just the new iMac.  Thank you for your time.

• Where is CS5 preference to use the new window and no legs?

  Is there a preference somewhere to open the new document in a new window and not as a tab?

  Thank you

  Or you can use Illustrator-> preferences-> User Interface and disable 'Documents as open tabs' and click OK.

• Need help to set up FireFox on the new laptop

  My last laptop was killed by a virus (don't worry, I'll scan anything onto my new laptop) so I bought a new laptop. I use Puppy Linux to go into my old laptop because the virus screwed up my log in details.

  Must who and where are the files I have to use and have firefox as it was on my old laptop, 0 on my new laptop. I grabbed the entire folder of Mozilla FireFox from Program Files and entered in the folder (once I transferred it) and opened the FireFox.exe, but it loads FireFox with no bookmarks, plugins etc.

  I want everything that I use for: bookmarks, plugins, styles. I just want that it the same as ut used to be.

  Thank you very much in advance
  Sam

  You are welcome. Just to be clear (and for others who may be reading), you should replace the contents of the new folder profile, such as the file places.sqlite , the folder bookmarkbackups and other files/folders, with the content of the old profile folder. For more information, see recovering data from an old profile .

  You asked, How do I check which version of FireFox, I got no load up. I.e. check a file or something with the details of the version in it.

  You can open the C:\Program Files (x 86)-Mozilla Firefox folder and right-click on the firefox.exe file, choose Properties, then click the Details tab and it will show you the version of the product and other information.

• Can I change default display width in the integrated PDF Viewer?

  I almost always want to view a PDF in "page width" but the zoom default 'auto' setting always displays them to fill the height rather than the width of the window and I have to modify manually every time I find a PDF file. Can I change this setting somewhere?

  Hi cfcentaurea, you can define a view by default as follows: enter Subject: config in the bar firefox address (confirm the message information where it appears) & search for the preference named pdfjs.defaultZoomValue. Double-click it and change its value to the width of the page (this should affect all new documents you open).

• Setting up email on the new site

  Hello

  I have a new site of BC and I'm trying to set up an e-mail address that was there on a former site of BC (which is now removed), but the system does not allow me as it says the user already exists and is edited from the original site.

• HP Office Jet Pro 8720: Problem set up and launch the new printer & ink cartridge installation

  Two questions:
  First... it takes a LONG time for the computer to open itself.
  Then, when he did initiate... I opened the section of ink cartridge
  to install the ink & transport of ink would not come to the Center.
  SO... I stopped the printer to start again... and now, the
  screen has a spinning wheel indicating "cartridges controls."
  It lasts for more than half an hour.
  HELP... This is a new printer & I can't open.
  Thank you kindly.

  Hi @paulallah,

  Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printer problem.

  I understand that you have a printer of HP all-in-one OfficeJet Pro 8720 which took a long time to initialize and is now stuck in a mode 'check' cartridges after the reboot it because transport would not move to the Center. I would like to help with that.

  I would start by doing a Reset of the power on the printer.

  

  If that fails to solve the problem, you might want to speak with HP Technical Support as there may be a hardware problem.

  You mentioned that you are using a Mac running OS X 10.5 Leopard or more. The HP all-in-one OfficeJet Pro 8720 printer is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or later.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  Indeed, if this help you to achieve a solution please click the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

  Thank you!

• Search in the internal pdf viewer has stopped working

  Cntrl-F brings up find ok, but after that no hits ever.

  It could be the work of one of your modules. Type of topic: addons in the address bar to open your add-ons Manager. Access key; (Mac=) A)

  In the Manager of Add-ons, on the left, select Extensions. Disable some add-ons, then restart Firefox.

  Some added toolbar and modules of Kaspersky Anti-virus are known to cause problems with Firefox. Disable all of them.

  If the problem persists, disable some more (restarting FF). Keep doing this until the problem is gone. After, you know which group is the origin of the problem. Reactivate the last group ONE AT A TIME (reboot FF) until the problem reports.

  Once you think that you have found the issue, that disable and reactivate all the others, then stop and try again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.
