After the Firefox 6.0.2 update (up from 6.0), Firefox does not open a tab/page anymore when clicking on links in e-mail(have Thunderbird 6.0.2)

Firefox no longer receives clicks on links in e-mail and others. No response at all. When I click on URL links in Windows, I receive "Windows cannot find http://<an address>. Make sure you typed the name correctly ...". When I click on e-mail links in Thunderbird, I do not get an error but nothing happens.

This problem disappeared after a few days by itself but the last significant change in my PC prior to noticing normal Firefox link behaviour was MS Vista update KB2607712 & restart. This may or may not be the solution to the problem.

  • Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • Firefox does not save my tabs or sessions when I shut down my computer

    To be more clear:
    Yes, I have set my options to "show windows and tabs from last time".
    No, I did not check "clear memory on shut down" or "start private session"
    Also, it saves my tabs when I restart the browser, but when I shut down my computer and start up again, Firefox does not show my tabs from last time. The same thing happens with sites I've logged onto before; it logs me out after I shut down my computer.

    Did you check the "Clear Recent History" settings to be sure cthat you do not clear the Browser history and the cookies?

  • After installing 3.6.10 firefox does not open selected web pages just gives garbage web pages at random. Had to use explorer just to get here

    after updating to 3.6.10 firefox loads wrong web pages. Had to use explorer to get help. All web pages won't load just bookmarked pages.

    Can you clarify something. Is it just bookmarks that you are having problems with, or do you get this problem when clicking on links or typing an address in the location bar.
    If it is just bookmarks, a possible cause is a damaged places.sqlite file (the file that stores bookmarks), for details on how to fix that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
    If it is clicking on links, being re-directed on search engines etc, then this can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

  • After update to Version 29.0, Firefox does not open Confluence Office Connector plugin Edit in Office links in

    After the update from V28, Firefox stopped opening the Confluence Office Connector plugin Edit in Office links. These links continued to work from Internet Explorer and work again after downgrading from 29.0 to 28.0. Clicking the link results in no action from the browser to open the link.

    It's a known bug of the extension. See [https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-33469 Atlassian's forum] for updates.

  • Firefox does not open new tab

    I have been using Firefox 3.6 and it works quite well, except that a week ago it stopped opening new tabs (when you click on the + sign for new tabs). Cannot find any help in the Firefox help pages.
    (Before you tell me to upgrade to 4.0, I did that and it crashes at least once a day, which practically never happened with 3.6.)

  • Firefox does not load a pdf-page shown by a specific link, but goes slow and finally crasches instead. IE10 does work. Link is fro state official side, smhi.se

    I have windows7, just installed and no bugs. As said above, when I try Internet Explorer 10, recently installed, I have no problem looking on this pdf - page.
    The page is found by logging in to smhi.se, the swedish wheater service. I have no problem with the majority of information shown there, just one specific page.
    It can be found by clicking "Väder", then "Is till havs", then down under click "Istjänsten" and then "Senaste iskarta i färg".
    This pdf-document is then loaded very slowly and if I try to navigate on the page it crasches.

    First, after clicking the Firefox button in the upper corner, there is not popping up the square on your solution above!
    I can not select Applications in that menu-line thus.....because I do not have it!
    Instead I get a small square with swedish text. Only thing which resembles me of any action is: Settings (Inställningar), so I chose that and another square shows where strangely enough the same line is about Acrobat is repeated twice. No other settings are repeated twice.....
    So I go to the line for Acrobat and change both lines to Acrobat reader
    Then I save and go out.
    I try again to log into the link I am interested in, but no result, same problem as before.
    Has your swedish people done something strange???
    Best regards // Hans Hällström

  • Firefox does not open, says it's running when trying to restart, but does not show up

    Cannot get Firefox to visibly run. Will not open in safe mode and will not close (says its running when I attempt to shutdown or restart computer. Have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled 8.0 several times and nothing has changed. Have scanned , defragmented, etc. computer and tried a couple system restores as this once cured similar problem with Firefox several months ago.

    Bring up the Windows Task Manager, but look in the "Processes" tab for firefox.exe,
    and close it from there, it won't do you any good looking for it in the "Applications"
    tab when you don't see it on the system taskbar.
    closing Firefox properly, and for when you just want to close and
    restarting Firefox immediately, see more information in

  • I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not load. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.

    Hi again,
    Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
    Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
    Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
    If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
    Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

  • Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

    I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

    Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
    Thank You!
    I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
    BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
    Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
    Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
    I have:
    Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
    Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
    What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
    Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

  • After upgrading to 3.6.4 (english) firefox does not open

    After upgrading to 3.6.4 (english) firefox does not open when I hit its button. I uninstalled it and reintalled it but the problem remains - My operating sys is VISTA 2 service pack. IE works
    Any suggestions?
    == Operating system ==
    VISTA 2 service pack

    I have been using Firefox on a regular basis for many years.
    I have two problems with Firefox 3.6.4.
    First, it keeps crashing....
    I have 4gb of memory on a Windows 7 - HP Laptop and whenever Firefox tries to allocate more than 1.5gb of memory it crashes. What is more interesting is the fact that while Firefox is running on a static page; such, as the google search page...the memory allocation keeps climbing... Even when nothing else is running.....Does anyone see a problem with this. I have tried all the suggestions that I could search for and I have come to one conclusion....the problem is software related and software problems should be fixed with software not by people manually going into an application and toggling something on or off. In other words the mozilla team should be looking at trying to resolve this issue.
    So, what programmer did you guys have write the 3.6.4 memory handler - a person who doesn't understand how to allocate and deallocate memory?
    Just so you know what I have been describing above about Firefox 3.6.4 is a memory leak, and memory leaks are usually a first sign of poorly written code.
    <u></u><u></u><u></u>==
    My Second Issue is in regards to the newest Firefox Update, which prevents me from going to the internet whenever it's installed because it has a flaw with its Network Proxy module. I have to re-install the original Firefox v3.6.4 to fix this problem.
    Solution:
    I'm going back to Internet Explorer because the mozilla team can't fix all these issues. I don't have the time to come up with a work around solutions for an inferior piece of software that is supposed to just allow me to browse the internet at anytime....

  • Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

    Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I deleted the password from the view password window.

    The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.
