Firefox will not open my email client when I click on a "mailto" link on any website. How can I fix this.

Anytime I drag my cursor across, or try to click on a "mailto" email link on any webpage, it will display an incorrect e-mail address (it seems to default to one in particular). It will not open a new e-mail window and if I "copy e-mail address" it's the wrong one. I've tried everything and was hoping with new updates the problem would solve itself but obviously it hasn't.
HELP ! This is driving me CRAZY

For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.

  • When opening firefox, a flyout opens telling me I have to click on OK to finish installing Bing Bar.How can I kill this?

    I uninstalled or deleted everything connected with Bing and uninstalled-reinstalled Firefox. Once or twice I opened it without seeing the Bing flyout but it came back. Opening IE does the same thing, but I don't use IE so I don't care about it. Opening Chrome, at least for now, doesn't have the same problem. I don't want anything to do with Bing/Microsoft so I don't want to see this flyout any more. There is no close button for the flyout. I can work around it by typing in a different url, but upon opening Firefox, the flyout opens. How can I get rid of it, please? The Microsoft website offers no help.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • After reset my Firefox no longer opens web pages automatically when I type the keywords in the Location bar. How do I fix this?

    Before I reset my Firefox I was able to just type words in the Location bar and Firefox would redirect me to the website. For example, typing "reservoir dogs imdb" would redirect to the IMDB page of this movie, and typing a random sequence of characters would take me to (for example) a website of some company that uses these characters as the abbreviation of its name.
    I never set this option anywhere, it was just like that for quite a long time. Now this possibility is gone for me and I can't seem to fix it.
    I use the laters Mozilla Firefox 21.

    Starting with Firefox 23 the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar that way (keyword.enabled still works to disable this search).
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

  • ITunes will not let me update to iOS 5.1.1 without deleting all my media. How can I fix this?

    When I tried to update from my PC this came up:
    "Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and
      media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your
    iPad. To preserve your content, apply this update on
      the computer where you sync your apps, music, videos,
      and photos."
    I don't understand because this is the only computer I use iTunes for my ipad.
    Help please!

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Ever since I installed the new i0S 6.0 update on my iphone 4s it says "can not connect to itunes store" when I click on the "app store" on passbook. How do I fix this?

    How do I fix this on my phone so I can access the app store and the new passbook app?

    Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
    'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • After recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    fter recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database  so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
    You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
    I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

  • 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.

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

  • I have iTunes open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice.

    I have iTunes, latest version, open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice but problem continues.

    Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
    Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
    Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

  • All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again.

    First Issue:   All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again?  If I have to delete the purchased apps, will they still be in iTunes, or will I have to re-purchase them? 
    Second Issue:   When I synced to my desktop (Windows XP)  All my photos loaded onto my iPad2.  I don't really want all 3000 + pics on my ipad!!  How do I get them off?  Next time I synced, they loaded again!  Now I have so many duplicates!  How do I get rid of the photos and prevent this from happening again?

    If none of your third-party apps are working, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted. In terms of re-downloading apps then you can do so as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For synced photos, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the Photos tab on the right-hand side you can control which photos are synced to the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . If you don't want any photos to be synced then try selecting just an empty folder.

  • My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs. it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this?

    My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs, it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this? I just bought the computer last month so this is some what frustrating.

    If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it.  (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

  • HT201401 Sleep/Wake button is not working. Do you have any suggestions how can I fix this?

    Hi, I bought an iPhone5 in Sydney on 17 Sep 2012 (through Apple online store-Weborder no. W425361396) while I was studying there. Now I already went back to my home country (Thailand). And I got a problem with my iPhone5. The Sleep/Wake button is not working. Do you have any suggestions how can I fix this?
    Looking forward to hear from you.
    Best regards,

    You will have to return the iPhone to Australia .The iPhone warranty is not international .
    Warranty and service is only provided in Country of original sale
    You could try a reset followed if required by a restore initially with backup and then again if required as new
    If that makes no difference it will be a hardware issue and you will have to return it to Australia
