| 847252 | 2010-01-09 04:08:00 | Dear all, Has anyone encountered the situation where Firefox, in midst of loading a PDF file, pops up the message "The program is not responding" and with the options to "Switch To" or "Retry"? I find this really annoying as clicking on either of the two options will solve the problem only when the PDF file has loaded, but I can't figure out whether the PDF file has been loaded without clicking "Retry" repetitively. Resolutions? |

| 847253 | 2010-01-09 04:09:00 | It works fine here. But, sometimes it takes its time loading the PDF ! I havent come across the not responding, or retry message tho | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 847254 | 2010-01-09 04:22:00 | This is odd - I can't replicate the problem right now. | Renmoo (66) | ||

| 847259 | 2010-01-09 11:20:00 | I just realised one thing - the problem only arises when I open a PDF file in the browser which hasn't opened any other PDF files yet. Just now when I tried to replicate the situation, my browser already had several PDF files loaded, hence when I experimented with loading more PDF files, the problem ceased to appear. | Renmoo (66) | ||

| 847261 | 2010-01-09 21:30:00 | Its a well known problem with Fire Fox and Foxit Reader -- Fire Fox doesn't like the addin -Using IE or Lunascape never had the problem. Its opening the PDF in FF that causes the problem, if it were downloaded then opened you'd find it opens fine. I have several times had the same thing - each time its when using Fire Fox (in W7) - Foxit are working on the problem so their forums say. One way I managed to keep the problem to a minimum, is this -- May or may not work for you. Open Foxit Reader > help> Check for updates, make sure its all upto date with any fixes, THEN in the update window, click on Preferences, and untick "automatically check for updates" -- I have found that it happens more when its checking for updates & using FF. |
