Firefox will not open web pages that are called from the mail program that comes with Vista, anyone out there have a solution?

I have installed Firefox ver 4 on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. My problem is when using the mail client that comes with Vista any url in an email message will not load in the browser, a new tab is created and has the url from the mail message but that is as far as I get. There is no revolving icon on the new tab and clicking on reload does nothing. So far this is happening with every website I have tried. There is no error message of any kind. The websites are working sites and can be opened if I navigate to them manually

  • Firefox will not open web pages correctly

    I would take 'Y2ken's' advice and try Firefox.  I have used it for years with XP Pro and Ubuntu, Linux.  It definitely is more responsive.  Most of what is in IE8 was developed in FF several years ago.  FF was the first browser with tabs, for instance.

  • Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

    Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

    After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

  • Firefox will not open at all. I only get the Mozilla Crash Reporter over and over.

    After updating yesterday, Firefox will not open. I repeatedly get the Mozilla Crash Reporter. I've scanned my computer for malware, I've tried to open it in safe mode (it won't), I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla, but nothing works. Each time I reinstall, I still get the Mozilla Crash Reporter. The program will not open at all.

  • Firefox will not recognize web pages with .aspx suffix, keeps asking for a program selection to open the file.

    Searched for "st davids austin" on Google. In results clicked on listing for St David's Hospital North Austin. Apparently the site is written in ASPX and FF will not open it. It keeps asking for me to make a program selection to open the page. When I select FF as the program it just loops back and asks the same question again.

    1. That is caused by a few different Bugs in Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions. It looks like it was fixed for Firefox 4.0.
    2. Firefox doesn't go by the "system default printer". Firefox goes by the last used printer in Firefox as being the "default" in Firefox. It will remember the "last used in Firefox" and will use that printer until you switch to another printer and then remember that one.

  • Nokia 5530 will not open web page

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Nokia 5530 since christmas with latest firmware update. My problem is that when i click into the Internet, the screen just flashes and automatically closes. I tried it with connecting to Ovi Store and the same thing happens. I am using my wireless modem to connect to the Internet and it has never once given me a problem, just today it started acting up. Another detail is when i use other applications such as Software Update or using Ovi maps, it will download easily, but just wont open web pages even though it is connected,
    Please help
    Thank you
    Solved!

    im not very technically, sorry so if i worded some things wrong i apolgise
    It's oke. In Facebook options set your accesspoint to always ask before connecting aswell as other apps like your browser, etc..... Change packet-data settings from when available to when needed.

  • Firefox will not open certain pages,

    It will not open my BT emails or flickr but when I use IE they work perfectly. I have cleared my history/cache/cookies and run a virus check, no malware.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I was having the same problem and it was driving me INSANE because every solution I found on the internet said "just use Firefox!" (my default browser). It doesn't matter whether it's Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Opera, whatever, the computer was NOT accessing these sites. It seemed to coincide with a recent OS update, but maybe that's just my imagination.
    Then my sister-in-law came over with her totally identical MacBook and complained of having the exact same problem accessing the same sites!
    On top of this, I had no problem accessing these on my iMac in Chicago last week (running the same OS and software), so I concluded it had to be our router.
    In my case, it was solved by simply rebooting the router. Have you tried this? It seems so simple, but now I can access every site that I was having trouble with. You might have to reconfigure something on your router, I don't know much about this. But my general conclusion is that something was wrong with the way the MacBook and router were communicating. Sorry I can't be more specific!

  • Firefox will not open at all, no message , nothing. The other browser (internet explorer) opens fine. Do I delete the old program and reinstall it? It works fine on the other two accounts on this computer.

    no other details, I click on foxfire, the hourglass figure
    appears for a few seconds then goes off and nothing else happens.

  • An imbedded URL in email Windows Mail will not open web page in Firefox?

    Using Vista Home Basic & Firefox 19.0

    Sometimes it could be a coding issue.. Try clearing cache and cookies.
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Safari will not open web pages anymore on my MacBook.

    I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5 Lion, Safari 6.0.2.  Although I have had occasional problems with slow loading web pages in the past,  it wasn't until yesterday that pages stopped loading entirely. I am using my iPad to post this question. The iPad, my iPod Touch and my wife's MacBook (running the exact same software) are all working normally. I have re-cycled my modem and AirPort Extreme, but the problem still exists. One strange twist - I use Evernote to keep notes and as a journal. When Evernote was open and I was using Safari unsuccessfully, I noticed that Evernote had opened 2 web pages (Apple Support) in Evernote as notes! While investigating I found that in the Develop menu, the 1st item "Open Page With" shows "Evernote 5.0.4" but not Safari or anything else as an alternative. On the Safari Preferences Menu, General, the Default web browser shows Safari 6.0.2, but on the drop-down menu Evernote 5.0.4 appears as the alternate browser.I have sent a message to Evernote support, which may be answered in a few days if I'm lucky. I have deleted Evernote from the Extensions menu which did nothing - I can still open it as usual. I have also restarted the MacBook several times, tried signing on with a new ID to make sure that  there is no problem associated with my account. In this mode, Safari still did the same thing. The problem is somewhat irregular, since the first couple of pages will usually open after I close Safari, clear history and delete caches (I always do this and normally browse in the "private browsing" mode). Next step will be to send the Evernote application to the Trash. (notes are saved on the Evernote website and are also on my iPad). I noticed that some Safari users solved this type of problem by upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion. This would be a last resort, but I wonder if I made some change with my DNS servers it could solve the problem. My IP is Comcast and the DNS servers, they say, are generated automatically.  Also, there is no problem with my wife's MacBook/Safari, so I'm not sure this would actually help. Any suggestions will be considered helpful since I have to solve this quickly due to an upcoming travel schedule.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
