All of a sudden, when I click on a link in an email (Outlook for the Mac 2011), it doesn't open in Firefox. Firefox widow pulls up, but no new tab. Microsoft says that since it pulls up Firefox, it isn't Outlook's fault.

This has happened many times, in fact, every time I've clicked on a link in an email -- but just since Sunday, I think. Before that, it worked perfectly.

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

    I am still having the same problem. I did what you said to do, but it didn't help. I cleared all of firefox's cache and still doesn't work.

    I have not found a way for the email hypertext to go to the FaceBook App, but I no longer click on the hypertext as I know whatever information or posting it is directing me to in FaceBook will show up when I open my FaceBook App.  I also have noticed that many pop-ups on the Browser don't actually know if you already have the software they are promoting. 

  • I don't want Firefox to be my main browser or automatically open when I click on a link from my emails, how do I disable this?

    When I click on a link from my emails it opens automatically through firefox. I want to disable this feature as I would like to go back to Chrome. I don't want to uninstall Firefox all together but I don't want it to be my main browser either.
    Thank you

    The only way to have such links not open Firefox is to set another browser the default browser.
    That MozillaZine Knowledge Base article shows how to set another browser like IE as the default browser.

  • Two instances of Firefox open when I click on a link within my email client. How can I stop this from happening?

    I am running on an iMac OS X 10.6.3 using Firefox 3.6.3 as my default browser and I use Postbox 1.1.5 as my email client. Anytime I click on a link within an email message two instances of Firefox open, one with my home page and one with the site the link was meant for. This happens only when Firefox is not already open. If Firefox is running and a link is clicked on it opens normally within the open instance of Firefox. I have contacted Postbox and am currently awaiting a response to see if they have any suggestions. While this is not a serious issue it is a bit annoying. I have Firefox set to open new links in tabs not new instances of windows, so it shouldn't be that. Any help in getting this to stop would be greatly appreciated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure, it's been going on for quite awhile.

    That is a bug on Mac.

  • All of a sudden, when I click on Firefox in order to access my aol free e-mail, all I get is a screen that says "Google". How do I get out of that screen?

    I've never had this problem before. Always when I click on Mozilla Firefox I get the Aol screen asking for my password to get my aol free e-mail. Why am I all of a sudden getting this Google screen which I can see no way to exit from it?

    Hi pinks60,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed to the default Firefox home page. It sounds like you just want to make webmail.aol.com/ your home page. Just enter that into the address bar and hit enter. Then follow the steps to make that your home page.
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    If you don't see the navigation bar to enter an address or any of the other navigation buttons, take a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]. That article will show you how to turn on the navigation bar again.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • All of a sudden when i click any button or link a new window opens with an ad

    I have used Firefox for about 7 years. No issues...
    I recently installed Ghostery add on.
    The only way to describe it is:
    I go to a page..
    Click a link (or close to it) or enter or any other button/link that would take me to what I expect..
    BUT instead it opens a new tab to an advertisement site (quibids, P&G, many other random ads) - a few of them I blacklisted with BLOCKSITE (installed after the problem started happening) but several I can't because I would actually use them when I need to (ex: Vistaprint.com)
    When I go back to the original site and click the same link and click it again it works as intended.
    This happens across all sites that I am on...
    It is like there is a hidden link within the one I am clicking on.
    I have pop ups blocked in my browser but this gets around it somehow.
    Since GHOSTERY installed, some sites do not work correctly. If I click on a picture, or something that I want to expand it is as if I am doing nothing at all because it won't complete the action, the functionality is broken.
    I have white listed a couple sites but this is random and if I whitelist everything I come across then it opens me back to what I am trying to avoid..
    EXAMPLES:
    went on Heat.com, clicked the button to go to the White Hot Gear instead it opened a new tab brandonline.com
    was on LinkedIn and hit the comment button on a thread, then it opened a new tab vistaprint.com
    was on publix.com, hit the order refills button, then it opened a new tab premium-promos.net
    did a google search clicked on the link I wanted, it opened a new tab premiumgiftrewards.net
    EACH time I go back to the original site and click the same button/link/etc it takes me where expected.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Both Firefox and IE have the same problem. The cursor instead of being a finger when pointing to a link is still an arrow. However I can click anywhere on the page and an ad will pop up. I have eliminated all unwanted bars in Firefox, I ran Malwarebytes until it came out clean. I also have AVG which had detected a few items on it's own. But when I get into Firefox I still have exactly the same problem. Now it will not let me download Browser Safeguard. Usually after one click the pointer returns to normal for a few screens. When I try to click to download Browser Safeguard it keeps bringing up different ads or it tries to get me to upgrade Firefox or some other browser helper program which I know are all BS tactics to get me to load their junk again. PLease help I'm an engineer and pretty good with PCs but this one has me beat at least so far.

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.
