How do I get a website to open on firefox from my email?

I have Internet Explorer. I just downloaded Firefox. An online store that I shop at regularly sends me emails. When I click on their link from my email it takes me to their site through Internet Explorer. How do I get the link from my email to open through Firefox?

Usually links in other applications* will open web pages in your default web browser. To have Firefox make itself your default web browser -- if it doesn't ask you when you start it up -- you can follow the steps in this article: [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]].
Does Windows comply or resist the change?
''*'' Just to clarify: applications other than a browser, which handles links on its own.

  • How can I get interactive websites to work with Firefox?

    In the last week many of the interactive websites I've been using for years suddenly stopped working properly. However they do work with Internet Explorer. How can I get them to work again with Firefox?

    In what way are those websites not working?
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • How do you get a website to open in it's own 'app' instead of safari tab

    Something I have noticed with the iPad that it is possible for webpages to run as if they are in their own app.
    For example, the BBC iplayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer). Open this site in safari, add an icon for it to your home screen, then when you use this icon to open the iplayer it opens as if it is an app, it doesn't have the address bar or back and forward buttons etc. Also when you double click the home button the iplayer icon shows up with the rest of the apps (usually you just get safari there) and if you open safari and look at the pages you have open it doesn't show there. It really does look as though it is an app, although what I'm guessing is happening is that it is open in a new instance of safari.
    My question is, does anyone know how to get a site to do this? I'm assuming there are some meta tags in the HTML but I can't find any references to this being possible let alone how to do it.
    Would really like to get this working on some of my sites so if anyone has any ideas would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    No, what you're seeing is the actual webpage
    For example, the BBC iplayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer). Open this site in safari, add an icon for it to your home screen, then when you use this icon to open the iplayer it opens as if it is an app, it doesn't have the address bar or back and forward buttons etc.
    Actually, it does. Or should do, ay least. It does for me

    That's correct

    The site doesn't do it. Safari does it. All you have on your Home screen is the iPad equivalent of a webloc, a small text snippet containing the URL for whatever page you saved.

  • How do I get Bookmarks Toolbar to open when Firefox opens without having to click to open it?

    When I open FIrefox I want the Bookmarks Toolbar to be there by default without having to click to open it. It is very frustrating having to add it each time I open Firefox.
    Help!
    Thanks.

    I do not want all my bookmarks displayed there. They are already among the menus at the top of the page where I want them. I only want the bookmarks I have selected as my Bookmarks Toolbar shown under the URL-field (where you enter the www.http...). When I open Firefox the Menu Bar and the Navigation Bar are shown. I have to go to the menu called View, scroll down to Toolbars, scroll down to Bookmarks Toolbar and click on it to get the Bookmarks Toolbar shown. To have do that every time I open Firefox is most unsatisfactory. Why is there no option to have the Bookmarks Toolbar shown without all that hassle every time whenever Firefox is open the same as is the case for the Menu Bar and Navigation Bar?

  • How do I get hotmail.ca to open on firefox home page?

    When I use BING the hotmail link comes up. In firefox it doesn't. I would like it to.

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
    ''Accept the warning message.''
    Type '''newtab.url''' in the Search field at the top.
    Go down a bit to this pref - '''browser.newtab.url''' = right-click and select '''Modify''' - insert '''about:home''' - if you are using the default homepage, otherwise put the URL of your homepage in the dialog box

  • How to I get a folder to open up in Final Cut Pro version 6 thats off my desktop?

    How do I get a folder to open up in Final Cut Pro version 6.  I'm on a MAC OS X Version 10.6.8.  The movie folders I imported on my desktop from a Lacie Rugged Triple external hard drive.   When I try to import the folder a pop up comes up that says, "ERROR: No translatin templates matching the selected XML file were found.  Unable to import this file."   When I try and drag the folder into Final Cut a pop up comes up that reads "Please choose a translation document file".  What should I do or what am I not doing?

    YYou should ask this question on the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • How do I get IE 11 to open in the same window on the task bar?

    How do I get IE 11 to open in the same spot on my task bar.  i.e. IE 11 is on my task bar. When I open it, it opens in a new place on the end of the task bar.  Microsoft Outlook, Windows Explorer, Quicken, Adobe, etc,, all on the task bar open
    right at there location on the task bar; not in a new place at the end of the task bar.
    How do I get IE 11, Windows 7, 64 bit to open at the same place as the IE icon???
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Seems a strange issue, How about un-pin IE from the taskbar, then re-pin it to the taskbar for a test?
    If doesn't work, I suggest you turn off IE 11 in "Turn Windows Features on or off", reboot PC, then re-turn on, check the result again.

  • How do I get CurrentVersion.fcpevent to open in 10.1.1

    HI,
    I backed up files a while back of my FCPX files to a server. I have a project i need to reopen and edit. In the latsest version of FCPX, it will not convert open or import. How do I get this project to open up and allow me to edit or update the file?

    You can't open that file. Assuming the event that it is part of was created in an earlier version, the event needs to be in a folder named Final Cut Events. Any projects associated with that event need to be in a folder named Final Cut Projects. When FCP X 10.1 is opened, if you go to Update Projects and Events and then navigate to the drive where these folders live, it should create a new library for them.

    I saved my "users" folder to an external HD. I did erase and install on my imac. Now how do i get the accounts to open up on the fresh installation?

    To move a home folder, create a new home folder, copy the contents of the old home folder into the new home folder, and then delete the old home folder.  Take a look at this link, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/UserMgmt_v10.6.pdf

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • How can I get a book to open that is downloaded on my Ipad 3, I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Held the turn off button and home button down to reboot, nothing has helped.

    How can I get a book to open in my nook app, it downloaded, and installed, it just want open, I have never had this problem before.

    This is entirely my complaint.
    I have to sit without useable internet for 5 days when there is no fault, before anyone does anything about it ? BT visit the village to do something for another customer, mess up my perfectly working broadband, and then refuse to do anything about it for 5 days. And I pay full price during that time. Let's just hope they don't come back to do something else within those 5 days !!!
    There isn't a fault with the line, it is perfectly stable. I just need somebody to use common sense and set the IP profile back to what it was.
    If the system is so clever, it could at least try moving off 135k to 512k say after an hour or so.
    I will try using that link though and see if somebody can do something !!
    Frustrated is not the word ! If I ran my business like this I'd have no customers left. I'm pretty sure that's not the first time somebody has posted that on here
