Request for properties and parameters required for PDF to display in Firefox - might not be novice request
Issue and examples: I web-serve irregular-size PDFs such as (well log) https://idahogeomap.nkn.uidaho.edu/Data/Oil_Gas_Scans/1974-02/1974-02_LOG_BHCS.pdf and (map) https… (čítať viac)
Issue and examples:
I web-serve irregular-size PDFs such as (well log) https://idahogeomap.nkn.uidaho.edu/Data/Oil_Gas_Scans/1974-02/1974-02_LOG_BHCS.pdf and (map) https://www.idahogeology.org/pub/Technical_Reports/TR-2001-2.pdf that Firefox is displaying as white rectangles via default settings.
Background and contingencies:
1.-Of the thousands of PDFs I serve, only a subset is not behaving as expected using Firefox's PDF viewer
2.-I am exploring multiple options to present to my supervisor as 'fixes'
3.-Continually educating our user-base to configure web browsers to display PDF files as expected is not an option
4.-Temporarily refusing user access to data based on browser choice, such as Firefox, is not an option
5.-Forcing PDFs to be delivered by download-only may be an option, but would not be preferred
6.-Reformatting PDFs to display in browsers as expected is an option, but because of budget and time restrictions, would have to be done efficiently *(where my question applies) and delivered without loss of data
7.-All PDFs affected are derived from scans of original documents as TIFF files of various size and resolution. The TIFF files were discarded, and re-scanning is not an option
8.-PDF files or pages in files that do not render as expected are derived from a single scanned image
Request:
I would appreciate being privy to exactly what Firefox requires to display PDF files as expected without user interaction with browser settings: For example, download and display of the documents linked above in a new installation instance of Firefox on contemporary Windows, Mac, and Linux (canonical FF install) desktop environments (provided there is no disparity in PDF 'minimums' or 'lowest common denominator' for rendering). Possible PDF properties that may influence if Firefox will render a PDF or not are below. For any of these that could impact a successful render, or others that will but are not listed, I would appreciate knowing the working range of property attributes. Please be specific about units, for instance resolution or width as dots per inch or mm, points, pixels, etc.
-Metadata in header (? -probably a long shot . . . )
-File size
-MediaBox (CropBox, BleedBox, etc.) size(s) as applicable
-Resolution
-width
-height
-?
Please don't hesitate to provide 'too much' information! I intend to recursively test each PDF served against the parameters Firefox likes, create an altered copy for PDFs that fail, then push the new filenames to server databases and web.
Thank you very much in advance,
Christopher

The same issue has already been discussed here: https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1209898
Since this week I use Windows 10 (replacing Vista) and after a short while I could google anything through my Firefox browser. I just get a blank screen. So I've looked for solutions and I've followed the description below (...it even seemed to work until the next update):
"Try to rename/remove search.json.mozlz4 in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed. You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page. • Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory: Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder • http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software (Avira) is causing problems. • http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/ • http://www.7tutorials.com/4-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-10"
Well, after the most recent update today, it is now obvious that this solution is of little use because the same problem has returned and "search.json.mozlz4 " has been reinstalled back in its place again.
I don't think it is a good practice if one has to remove the file again after every update.
So, what can be really done about this?
Thanks!

Hi I changed to Fire Fox because of problems with Flash in Chrome. Everything is fine except for the 9 ball pool game. The cue stick will not work when it is pulled back off the edge of the table. The screen freezes and the shot can not be made. Yes, it is probably a Royal Games problem, however, I thought I would ask. The problem does not happen in Chrome.

I recently switched from chrome to firefox and i noticed some strange behavior with some sites.
The content if certain elements is just not visible. I managed to solve this for some cases by installing the plugin "Text contrast for dark themes" (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/text-contrast-for-dark-themes/).
Then i noticed that any formula embedded in wikipedia is invisible. After tinkering with the color settings i managed to solve this and thought iam fine. Lately i just noticed that some Bitbucket checkboxes are just not visible (or at least the current check state). I attached a picture of the problem. To clarify, developers have the permission to create repositories.
Iam running Ubuntu 16.04 with the Mona 1.0 Unity theme.

Dear All, unfortunately my searches on google didn't helped me to find a solution to my problem. I hope you guys can support me. I have since several months following problem: When I open a Office Word document and if I open afterwards firefox the upper side is filled with a white field. So that I can't use the web address bar and the menu as well as the tabs. I figured out that the same white field happens also by Adobe Acrobat after opening a Office Word document. I updated today all my drivers including graphic drivers. Office and firefox is up-to-date. I uploaded also a picture from the mentioned white field.
Thank you in advance for your solution ideas.

Hi,
I am on win10 (all updates) and Firefox (all updates, 61.0.2 64bit). My FF goes "not responding" at random times and on random sites (seems not to be site-specific). Tried everything: new profile (old profile was moved from old PC), reinstall, disabling all extensions/plugins, disconnect from sync, hardware acceleration disable, plenty of free disk space.
This seems to relate to Windows Firewall, seems to have started since 1 August (windows feature update 1803). Then FF was completely unable to browse, so I enabled FF in Windows firewall. Have removed FF from Windows firewall and readded now many times. I do not get notifications from Windows Firewall abt FF being blocked though.
Sometimes I see completely odd thing: FF becomes non-responsive, I want to start IE, and IE does not open until I have killed FF. What is this?
All other apps work fine (Lenovo x380, 2 months old).

I am trying to bind Firefox's console helper functions to a new button or keyboard shortcut, but I am having trouble finding a way to do it. Specifically, I want to use the keys, pprint, copy, and :screenshot functions with a clickable button or keyboard shortcut that isn't buried in the developer tools. I want to string these together into one action, instead of several for accessibility, speed, and convenience reasons.
I have tried looking in the developer tool options and customize toolbar options for the ability to add a new button, and I'm not seeing it. I've also tried looking for a way to add a custom keyboard shortcut, so far no luck.
I have tried accessing the console helper functions via both remote and locally hosted Javascript; this does not work for safety/privacy reasons.
I have tried writing a locally hosted add-on and discovered that console helper functions either error out or fail silently.
Did I miss something? Are there any working examples of this that I can look at as a reference?
Short of setting up automation software like Selenium, I don't know what to do. That seems like a really big hammer for such a (seemingly) tiny nail.

In IE I can define "trusted sites", there I can use strings like *.domain.com. There's also a setting to include Intranet sites in a local zone. I'm unable to find similar functionality in FF... I do find a place where I can define sites that can install add-ins but not sure if that does the same (furthermore, wildcards do not seem to be supported there). I'd appreciate any help, now (@work) I'm constantly prompted for user credentials.
