Links received in email messages not clickable in Firefox

When a web address beginning with http:// is included in the body of an email message it does not show up as a clickable link in Firefox When the identical message is read using Outlook web access on a PC (running IE) the same address does appear as a clickable link.

One possible reason for differences between messages viewed in Firefox would be the format the sender used. For example, HTML and plain text messages may behave differently. In HTML, the link actually is in the message sent by the sender. In plain text, there are no links, but the desktop version of Outlook finds them and makes them clickable. Perhaps the same is true of the "Premium" version of OWA served to IE. Other browsers have long been second class citizens...
Maybe there is an add-on that fills in the missing functionality?

  • URL links in outgoing email sre not clickable

    Hello,
    Before switching to the Classic, with my Torch 9810 I could send myself emails that included links, and when looking at the emails on a computer, the links were clickable.
    Now with my Classic, the URL links appear as text.
    Any of you know how to fix this?
    My OS is 10.3.1.1779
    Thank you in advance.

    You have now exceeded your iCloud storage, including an additional amount provided to allow you to continue receiving email. As a result, you will not be able to send or receive new email messages with your iCloud email address until you free up storage space or buy more storage. I have 20GB remaining.  WHat is the issue here?

    Today I received the same message but have 4.6gb available from a total of 5.0gb. I also received the same message when i first set up my icloud account and icloud was virtually empty. Unfortunately the only way i can see to contact apple is to pay for a telephone call. If anyone knows what is going on i would appreciate knowing.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    why date and time do not show as links in some email message in 4s?

    To add it back, tap the Edit button at the top of the list of mailboxes and select the missing email account so that it has a tick against it (you can also change their order in the list by dragging the parallel line icon to an account's right), tapping Done should then get it to show in the list

  • Accessing links embedded in email messages fails on an iPad

    Our iPad 2 can't open web links embedded in email messages from NY Times, Alternet, and other sites. Error messages is "Website is not available" or "Can't access server". Internet access works otherwise. Problem is the same regardless of whether IOS Gmail app or Apple Mail app is used. It also doesn't seem to matter which browser is used (we've tried Chrome and Safari).

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

    I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

    It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
    ''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

  • Why can't I use links within my email messages? When a link is clicked, nothing happens--it doesn't go to that specific website.

    HI Ana ...
    I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
    That's a different issue...
    First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
    Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.
    Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.

  • Your link to Verizon email is NOT encrypted

    Did you know that your computer link to Verizon email is NOT encrypted?  However you link to verizon.net email, whether by Outlook or Outlook Express or by surfing to verizon.net or verizon.com, the connection from your PC to the Verizon server is NOT encrypted.  It is NOT https (with the s on the end).
    Maybe, the portion of the page where you log in with user name and password is maybe encrypted, but then when you are looking at your email, the link between your PC or device and Verizon is NOT encrypted.
    Do you like that?
    I don't, but my earlier complaints to Verizon on the DSL Reports web page went ignored.  See a very illuminating set of posts at
     Is Verizon email link UNencrypted?
    So, if you happen to know anyone in Verizon's legal department, ask him or her to respond here.

    Dear glnz:
    Thank you for your enthusiastic participation on the Verizon Community!
    I have addressed this question in the "Meet the Expert" session in the Room to Learn portion of the Verizon Community page. Please feel free to join us there.
    Answer:
    The login portion of verizon webmail is encrypted. We support encrypted password on POP and SMTP. We will offer POP SSL and SMTP SSL later this year (this would encrypt the entire transaction start to finish).

  • Links from email will not open in firefox

    When I click on a link in my email it takes me to firefox but nothing opens. It opens with no problems when going from gmail.
    Thank you.

    I am having the same problem - remedies attempted - check FFx is default browser (yes), software update and computer restart, reboot Mail * 4, check all Mail settings for options (none I can see ), check all FFx settings for same (none I can see), no result, look in here and see that other folks having same issue - will Apple respond (I will book a support session by phone as I have applecare. Mail also used to mark mails as read once I had selected them - now it insists that I double click and open them before it changes the marking - pain in the butt ...

  • Every time I click on a link from an email it opens two exact firefox browers.

    Every time I click on a link from my emails it opens two exact firefox browers to that link. Not two tabs, two browers. How can I prevent this from happening.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
