    <p>I am trying to download a pdf file using Selenium web driver with Java. This was working fine the last time I run it about 2 weeks ago, but now every time it clicks on the pdf link it is opening the pdf reader.</p> <p>My firefox profile I create in the test hasn't been changed, it set a download location and sets file to download automatically if they're pdf or csv. The csv files are still working correctly and download to the correct folder.</p> <p>In my code I have pdfjs.disabled set to true and if I open the about:config in the webdriver firefox instance I can see this is set correctly. </p> <p>If I set pdfjs.disabled to true in another firefox instance and manually click a link it works correctly. </p> <p>I'm not sure if firefox has been updated since I last run the test but I have also installed adobe reader on my computer.</p> <p>Please can anyone tell me what could have made it suddenly stop working? </p> <p>This is the the profile I create and the way I call the webdriver. I am using Firefox 21.0 which is the latest version.</p> <pre><code>FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile(); // Set profile to accept untrusted certificates firefoxProfile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true); //Set profile to not assumet certificate issuer is untrusted firefoxProfile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(false); //Set download location and file types firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2); firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false); firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.dir",reportFolder); firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","text/csv,application/pdf,application/csv,application/vnd.ms-excel"); // Set to false so popup not displayed when download finished. firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete",false); firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete",false); firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStartinge",false); firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.panel.shown",false); firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.useToolkitUI",true); // Set this to true to disable the pdf opening firefoxProfile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true); driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile); </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE: I removed adobe reader and this started working again. Reader must set something in the profile that I need to disable to get it working with reader. Does anybody have any ideas?</strong></p>

    3. COI'm not at computer with this code but the report folder works fine. Its set to the current running directory/Reports In this same test I get pdf and csv files, at the end all the csv files are there but the PDFs open in reader. The thing is if I open firefox and set the same profile setting as above and click a pdf it downloads it, it's just the webdriver instance that doesn't work :(
