I cant read pdf downloads in firefox

Please use the link below to download this pdf. I have no extensions enabled now. I changed my security settings on Firefox a few days ago to prevent sites from tracking me, and today I went back and reversed that, but I still can't open or view PDF files in Firefox. Thank you for any suggestions you can offer. If a site cannot let you see the PDF without a plugin -- just using the built-in viewer -- then you may not be able to view that site's PDFs in a tab.

But I wouldn't expect to see that message on a lot of sites. Is it very widespread in your experience? Pkshadow, I'm editing this reply after my problem was solved because I realized that you, too, DID direct me to the solution, but I didn't understand at the time which option to pick under Applications for Portable Document Format. Thank you again! Thank you, Pkshadow. I had to use the link for the newer version of Firefox 57 , and I did select the Adobe Acrobat DC default option, but it didn't fix my viewing problem.

Thank you, also, jscher Or, you may need to download and install the free Adobe Reader on your computer. If the downloaded PDF was saved with a more current version of Reader than the one you have installed, Reader may not understand the encryption method used. PDF files that show up as blank or corrupt, or that freeze your browser, were likely damaged during the download process.

In order to fix this, clear your browser's cache, close the browser and download the file again or download from another place. If you do not do clear the browser cache, any additional attempts to open the PDF may cause your browser to view the cached damaged version of the PDF instead of causing it to download it again from the web server. Click OK. Close Acrobat Reader if necessary. Return to your browser Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.

Refresh the page, and click on the link to the PDF file. Windows only : Upgrade Internet Explorer. Change your Flow documents preferences. Set your documents preferences. All are downloaded to the Temporary Folder.

Yups, whatever we browse gets downloaded to our system somehow. To be more specific, Here it means, you can read PDF in Firefox window itself without actually going for download command to local folder. Hi Avi, very useful post.

My primary browser is Firefox and waiting on upload pdf docs is makes me nervous. Thanks on sharing!
