Hi there,

Right click on that PDF file in Firefox and click properties. Then click 'Change', to the right of 'Open with:'. Finally select the application you'd like to open PDF files with and you should be good to go.

You are using an old and no longer supported Firefox 3.0.15 version.
You should update to 3.5.x or 3.6.x once updates are enabled (may not work now because of a crash investigation)

Delete mimeTypes.rdf in the Profile Folder

deleting mimetyes.rdf didn't help. i can't update to higher versions as i don't have adminstrative powers. all i can do is to download and build new one. and i'm not sure if it's gonna help.

Try to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it: Install Firefox on Linux .

"i don't have adminstrative powers."

so i think i better compile a new version. though still waiting to see if any solution is available.

What stops you from compiling the latest version? You should always make sure that you've got the latest stable release.

IE works. Google Chrome works. Tried every suggestion offered to get firefox to work and nothing worked for me. Tried Adobe. Tried Foxit. Nothing works. Never used Google Chrome but gave it a try and yes it opened every PDF file I could through at it. I get my Bank statements from two different banks and Firefox 4.1 can't handle it. This has been going on for over a month for me with no easy fix. I see a lot of people with the same problem. Can someone from Firefox give Chrome or IE a call and see if they might have an answer on how to fix the Firefox problem.

On a Mac, go to "tools," click on "add-ons," which will take you to the Add-on Manager. Click on "plug-ins" and disable "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3" This recent update for Acrobat isn't compatible with Firefox 11.0. I hope they get the bugs out soon, but disabling the Acrobat plug-in is the only thing that let's me download pdfs on Firefox at the present. I had no problems with Safari, though. Weird!
