PBailey Posts: 907 From: San Antonio, Texas USA Status: offline	Firefox extension problems - 10/27/2004 0:39:04 Downloaded v. 1.0 to a new computer. I can't get the extensions to work at all. Flash 7 won't even load and play. I've tried downloading some extensions from the website which are suppose to be updated for v. 1.0. Nothing works. Where do I go from here.? It looks like I can no longer download v. 9 or I would. I loved it! This box is running XP without the sp2 loaded yet.

I had this problem when installing 1.0PR over 0.9...all the extensions didn;'t work, bar the new ones I installed -or- Uninstall the extensions and re-install them HTH _____________________________ (in reply to PBailey)

I have another problem.....iv.1.0 doesn't play at all with Adobe 6.0 reader. Everytime I bring something up in Adobe it kills FF. Anyone else having this problem? < Message edited by PBailey -- 10/28/2004 0:24:06 > _____________________________ Paula Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new.

I find that the Reader still won't launch in the browser - you just get a blank page, but if you right click the link and save it instead ( I save it to the desktop for speed ) then that works. I think that the problem lies with Adobe, rather than Firefox but no doubt all will be corrected for the 1.0 release ( 9th November, last time I looked). _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

PBailey Posts: 907 From: San Antonio, Texas USA Status: offline	RE: Firefox extension problems - 10/29/2004 0:18:17 Thanks Dan and Caz. Uninstalled and reinstalled updated Adobe (v6.02) and it seems to work. Did the same with Flash 7.0 which was giving me a problem and it is now working also. Caz, the Adobe v.6.02 is loading in FF for me. You might try uninstalling, downloading and updating again. Maybe Adobe has adjusted.... _____________________________ Paula Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.

And pigs might fly Just tried and it has made no difference; on the Adobe user forums it seems that I am not the only one - still. Of course it could be a registry run around with Reader, Acrobat and Pagemaker... Think that I'll just wait for the FF final. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

Adobe Reader 6 opens our club newsletter. I have a slightly different set up at home where it opens with Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro (not the reader) in the browser. Before you spend more time on the Internet and accumulate malware, apply SP2 a.s.a.p. for your new computer's security. Even now, I would suggest that you scan with Spybot Search & Destroy or Ad-aware before applying SP2. _____________________________ Enjoy!

PBailey Posts: 907 From: San Antonio, Texas USA Status: offline	RE: Firefox extension problems - 10/31/2004 17:10:10 Thanks Charles. I need to do that. Was originally waiting to hear a little more feedback but it needs to be done. Ad-aware and Spybot were the first stuff loaded to the new box....Where did all the fun go.... _____________________________ Paula Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new.

It was with a great deal of difficulty that I finally got the Reader to open pdf's off the web, rather than the full Acrobat program stepping in. I like to see what my users are getting when testing. The one good move made by Adobe recently has been to change the name " Adobe Acobat Reader" to just " Adobe Reader"...goes some way towards preventing confusion.

Giomanach Posts: 6112 Joined: 11/19/2003 From: England Status: offline	RE: Firefox extension problems - 11/1/2004 7:10:42 I never have liked the integration of Adobe products into browsers because of this exact problem...but then again, that's just me I have Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro, therefore no need for the reader (I also have 5 somewhere)... The only thing it doesn't really intefere with when upgrading is M$ products...(go figure) _____________________________ (in reply to caz)

It's not just browser interference with Adobe, it is system wide interference. When uninstalling anything Adobe you are left with a bunch of files that the uninstaller cannot remove so you have to do it manually. To me it is one step short of Norton spawn. I use the Reader to check that the document preferences that I have set in Acrobat for a particular document actually work as intended for the user. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.
