I have FC14 64 Bit and Firefox on my machine. When I view a PDF for the first time Adobe opens it in my browser, but the second time it just shows a blank tab and the browser hangs for a bit.
Is there an alternative PDF viewer for Firefox or a way to fix this one?
After upgrading to Fedora 12 (back when it came out) and then installing the Adobe Reader 9, I was unable to run it as it always came up with a little dialog saying "Internal Error". Same error from web browser when trying to load a PDF. Been ignoring it as there are other PDF viewers.... Got an update to the reader this morning and it did the same thing. Soooo, thought it was time to hunt down the problem if I could. Skipping all the 'what I looked for', I found in my user directory a symbolic link ".adobe > /dev/null" . After deleting this entry (rm .adobe) the problem went away. The reader recreated a new .adobe entry and all is well again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have successfully installed Adobe Reader 9.1. It shows up in firefox as a plugin properly. It does not show up in edit->preferences as an Application (not sure if that matters). However when I click on a PDF to download, I get an error in the browser:
"Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.1.2. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application."
I put the /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin in my PATH in ~/.bashrc and even rebooted to make sure all was set. I still get the same message. Where do I set my PATH to make this work?
FireFox told me to upgrade Adobe Flash Player when I tried to view YouTune's videos, but after I tried twice to download (open directly) it from Adobe, it still didn't work.
The first time I opened 'YUM for Linux', then I tried again the '.rpm for Linux' file, all installed
automatically.
So, I've done a fresh install of F13 on my laptop and the very first thing I chose to add was Adobe Flash (installed with help of Autoten). Flash plugin in Firefox seems to be working alright, but make a right-click on any Flash content on a web page - and browser will freeze.
I'm even puzzled about what can be done to diagnose the problem. Running Firefox from a terminal emulator doesn't give any useful feedback on this situation.
some input on what can be done to clear things up.
P.S. I'm running a 32 bit version OS.
I thought I solved this in one of the earlier RC for my guide buy it seems to have regressed. It loads adobe reader, but then it only has a grey screen that turns white eventually.

Since a week or two, clicking a link to a pdf file will not load in Firefox. I tried removing Adobe Reader and reinstalling it. Then the pdf files loaded, but now again they will not load. It just stopped working! No error messages.
I'm trying to lock down firefox, and have currently stopped all downloads.
I am trying to find an addon for 3.6.3 that will allow viewing of pdf files within the browser, not requing them to be downloaded.
I have tried pdfdownload and the google docs viewer, and they both still come up with the download prompt when you try to access a pdf.
Can anyone recommend a way to make it so when you clikc on a pdf it opens in the browser, always?
I'd like to be able to change the program that downloaded PDFs open with in Firefox. I'm using Gnome. Currently, when I double click on a PDF in the downloaded file list, it opens up in Adobe Reader, even though evince is currently the default in nautilus. How I can change it so that downloaded files are opened with evince?

My firefox will not open a pdf (Adobe reader/acroread) directly. An error comes up that I need to change my preferences. I have gone into preferences, but there is no area for pdf reader in the preferences panel. I have tried reinstalling both acroread, and adobe reader bin file from adobe website, to no avail.

I am having problems with the Adobe PDF plugin to load and display PDFs within the browser.
This is a plain Natty-installation with Firefox 4. Adobe Reader 9 is installed with the deb package from the adobe - homepage.
The PDF seems to load when the file is actually stored on a webserver. But when the PDF is kind of dynamically generated, the file is not opened by the plugin but a file-save/open dialog appears.
Can reproduce this behaviour? To test, for example, to

If you click the PDF button unter "cached", the PDF is not loaded within the browser on my system.
If you however click, for example the second link under "Downloads" everything works as should.
Things I tried that failed:
- completely removing Adobe Reader 9 and the plugin and try to use Reader 8 + plugin instead
- using Mozplugger/evince instead of the Adobe Reader 9 plugin
In all cases, the PDF under "cached" is not loaded within the browser.
As comparision, for example in Windows 7 using Adobe Reader X, everything works as should.
I am not sure which one is the culprit here, my suspicion is Firefox 4...
Do you know of existing bugreports either in launchpad, firefox bugzilla etc?

However I recently upgraded a lot of my software though the packager manager including Firefox 3.5.2 and now Adobe Flash Player will not work. I have installed adobe flash player both through the package manager and when that did not work also from the Adobe website (Ubuntu 8.04.deb file.) Neither will work.
I have installed the libflashplayer.so file in all the appropriate plugin directories as per the instructions. I have even tried Konqueror but again flash does not work.
In the Plugin section of Firefox there is a plugin for Shockwave flash 10.0.r32 and it is enabled. Inserting aboutlugins in task bar of the browser displays details of plugins for mplayer, Quicktime and Realplayer but nothing about Adobe flash.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with Adobe Flashplayer 10. It seems to be incompatible with a countdown timer on a specific site. I use firefox and when I open the site firefox freezes , hangs for a while and then I get an Adobe flashplayer 10 error stating the script encountered a problem. This is how and know the problem is the adobe flash and I know it is with that countdown timer as it only started when that was added to the site. Obviously it is a compatibility problem as it doesn't hapen on my Windows pc.
My question is two parts: a. Is there another flash player I can try with Firefox and b. If yes How do I uninstall the Adobe Flashplayer and install the other one.
Ubuntu 10.04.1 64 bit with all latest automatic updates , browser is Firefox.
Flash is causing severe problems on my slackware laptop. It happens pretty much only when I go on ..... and playback starts. Then the whole screen flickers and everything freeze. I have no mouse or keyboard (cursor is frozen) and I need to SSH to the machine to kill the process "plugin-containe" whatever it might be.
SO basically, is there anything to do to prevent such problems?
I'm trying to add an Adobe Flash Player 10 plugin to Firefox via the Ubuntu Software Center but I get the message:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a Live CD that has Adobe Flash installed working with Firefox. I need the Live CD for my vacation so I can use it to book hotel rooms using the live cd on public Windows pcs which are probably infested with all sorts of nasty things. Using my credit card with IE on those machines is out of the question. My worry is keyloggers and other things that can copy my credit card info.
Is it possible to install Adobe Flash on a live cd or is there a workaround? Should I use a different approach? I've heard of using firefox on a usb flash disc but not in any details. I'm not bringing my own laptop. In that case I wouldn't have a problem, I guess. I have to use machines in hotel business centers or internet cafees.

I'm having an issue changing the flash plug to display flash. I clean installed 10.04 a week ago, upgraded to to the closed source adobe plugin, and everything was great. However, a day ago, I had an issue with one site, and I decided to switch back to the default swfdec player. Since that time I have not been able to switch back to adobe. Every time I attempt to, firefox complains that adobe is already installed. Even if I remove the adobe flash plugin via synaptic and allow firefox to reinstall it, it still uses swfdec.
