[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 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:

    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!

    Do you have an error message? Which version of elements?

    85 000 files require little time for import.

    The thumbnails are not created immediately. This implies to open each file to create the thumbnail and save it. For raw files, embedded thumbnails are not displayed, the thumbnails in the Organizer have reflect the changes as raw. It should take several hours.

  • How can I get Mozilla to use the name of the page for the name of the real instead of the URL bookmark when I bookmark a page

    I just noticed that (in comparison to Internet Explorer): in IE, when you preferred a Web page, it uses the actual name of the Web page (for example, for this page, it would be "Ask a Question Firefox Help" as the name of the bookmark), but in Mozilla, it uses the URL as the name of the bookmark. I was wondering if it was possible to change my Mozilla settings so that it uses the name of the Web page as the bookmark name instead of the URL? I hope that everyone understands what I am getting? If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

    Firefox uses the tag title for the name of the newly saved bookmark.

    When I bookmark on this forum page I get this for the 'name' of the bookmark.

  • How can I get a copy of the file < windows > \system32\hal.dll.

    How can I get a copy of the file \system32\hal.dll.   ?

    There are 7 possibilities for the hal.dll file and the installation of XP takes the right one to match your hardware during the installation of XP.

    That's why replace a bit difficult because you need to know which of the 7 on the XP installation CD you need.  You can guess and try things and you might get lucky, or you can try them all.  That would take some time and probably be frustrating and you would need a CD bootable XP installation genuine to start the trials and errors.

    Replace the hal.dll file becomes even more difficult, because most of the people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, even if they wanted to replace the hal.dll file.  If you really want just a copy, you can understand that one you need or just copy the one you already have.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers don't ask for enough information when a new question is asked to provide you with a good idea for your problem not specified.  For all that is your problem not specified, you will need to provide additional information.

    If you see the message that your hal.dll file is missing or damaged, the chances are that the file is not really missing or damaged... Windows XP just can not find the file.

    Fix hal.dll "missing or corrupted" message is usually not too demanding and has nothing to do with the replacement of the file.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What you see you don't think you need to see?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
