In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • How can I get firefox to open a powerpoint online instead of downloading it ?

    Whenever I save a powerpoint presentation from a web page, it automatically downloads on my mac. How do I get it to open the powerpoint instead of downloading it?

    Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
    That should be sufficient.
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

    How to get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer.

    You can place a shortcut to the Firefox program in the Startup folder in "Start > Programs" by dragging the Firefox shortcut from the desktop or by dragging the Firefox entry in "Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox" to that folder (or use Copy/Paste to achieve this).

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

  • How can I get Firefox to open the page of a link I've clicked on in an email?

    Every time I click on a link, in an email (or in Facebook), unless a Firefox page is already open, I usually get my home page first. Then I have to go back to the email window to access the link again to get the page I wanted from the link. Is there a workaround?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure... maybe some months ago?

    That is this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links

  • How can I get firefox to open a local file on Windows 8.1via File:open?

    I am trying to open a file from the desktop for viewing as a webpage. It is edited in MS Word. When I open the file it just shows the the text of the file, which is html code, it does not run the file as a webpage. How do I get the file to run as a webpage? Thank you.

  • How can I stop firefox from opening hundreds of tabs when I click on an embedded email link?

    Every time I forget and click on an embedded email link, firefox tries to open multiple tabs(sometimes hundreds). I can't shut down firefox when this happens, I can't do anything else. I have to manually shut down the computer and reboot.

    Check to make sure that mailto has not been set to open Firefox.
    To do that open the Preferences dialog by selecting "Firefox > Preferences". In the Preferences dialog go to the Applications panel. In the "Content Type" column locate mailto, and make sure the Action column is not set to "Use Firefox" This procedure is explained in more depth in the [[Managing file types]] article.

  • How can I get Firefox to connect to websites that are not Google sites?

    This evening Firefox would not connect to my homepage (BBC) or anything in my bookmarks I tried. However, It would connect to anything Google (eg maps, mail etc), and run searches, but would not connect to any sites listed as the results of these searches.
    I contacted my internet supplier, who ran various tests, including emptying history, cache/cookies and resetting to default values of Firefox. But nothing solved my problem. It was fine this morning and showed no problems of this type before. I have the latest version of Firefox. My machine is Windows XP, I have the latest IE that can still be loaded - that won't even connect to Google to search, (but perhaps it is unable to because it is too old?)
    A couple of months back I had the computer cleaned/tuned, they replaced mcafee with Avast, but I had no problems accessing different websites. I still only run the free version of this. I cannot work out how to access its firewall settings.
    So the problem seems to be that the only sites I can access at all Google sites via Firefox...and Mozilla. I know Google is kind of ubiquitous but how I can't imagine how settings could suddenly become altered to be so specific!

    Strange problem.
    Did you try to start your computer in "safe mode", to see if the problem is still there ?
    Who replaced your antivirus and cleaned your computer ? Can they help you ?
    For the moment, I see 3 hypothesis :
    - a problem of DNS : do you know what it is and where to check them ?
    - a problem of Firewall : do you know how to manage the settings of your's one ?
    - a problem of security : do you know how to check if there are malwares installed on your computer ? You should do this before any other solutions anyway.
    If it doesnt' work, try to install Google Chrome, to see if this browser can go on other websites. If yes, it is time to uninstall/reinstall Firefox.

  • How can I get firefox to open new tabs? It won't open new tabs if I click the plus button or press Control + T. I installed some add on that didn't help either.

    Tabs cannot be created
    Control + T doesn't work
    Installing an add-on to make tabs work didn't help

    Disable or un-install the Ask Toolbar. The Ask Toolbar seems to be incompatible with Firefox 3.6.13. Ask needs to fix the problem.

  • HOW CAN I GET FIREFOX TO OPEN TO THE FIREFOX SCREEN WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER MY NAME AND PASSWORD EACH TIME ON MY MAC.

    CLEAR ABOVE

    * Command line arguments - MozillaZine Knowledge Base<br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments

    * How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help<br>https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
    You might want to consider using a simpler home page, ideally one that is on your local drive, so you know Firefox is working even if you don't have a connection.
    But your choice is much better than choosing a home page that just interfaces with a search site, when there is a builtin toolbar that can bring up any search that you care to add an engine for.

  • How can I get firefox to open links to .smil documents ?

    Firefox does not open .smil docs correctly. I get news updates from RTE.ie (ireland's national radio station's website) in which all headlines are links to .smil documents which firefox just asks whether to download instead of opening the relevant document. Is there a setting or plugin to handle .smil documents? or other solution?
    Thanks,
    Aidan.

  • How can I get firefox to open multiple tabs on startup?

    I want to upto six or seven tabs to open automatically when I launch firefox. When I look at the options tab it only gives me a prompt to enter one home page not multiple.

    The easiest way to set up home pages is to have the page that you want all open in the tabs bar and then continue as before but with "Use current pages" as your choice (button).
