Safari 7.1  When I click a hyperlink (to another site) I am taken to Safari's Top Sites page instead

I am using OSX 10.9.5 with Safari 7.1.
I have tried resetting Safari, restarting. It happens repeatedly. Does anyone have this issue and found a solution?

1. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off and relaunch Safari again.
    Turn those on one by one and test.
    AdBlocK?
2. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
    download  free  AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
     http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
   Install , open,  and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
   Once done scanning and removing the adware, quit the app by clicking AdMedic in the menubar
    and selecting “Quit AdwareMedic”.
    To use manual method try this.

    Trying to redeem a free download for a song from KLove. When I get into my acct & try to redeem it, it just keeps bringing up the "sign-in" box. When I click the button on KLove's webpage to redeem it takes me to that page but does the same thing

    Get the redeem code from the KLove page:
    http://www.klove.com/music/store.aspx
    ...and enter it into the Redeem Code box in the iTunes Store.
    You will have to sign in to your iTunes account.
    It worked fine here.  If that doesn't work for you, let us know what went wrong.

  • I am having a hard time with a page that is working for everyone else. When I click on anything in the site I get a message that says "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This is happening on both my ipad 2 and my iphone 5. I cleared my cache

    When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.

    I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
    doesn't accept my credit card.
    Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
    You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
    As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Regards.
    P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
    I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
    As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

  • The new Pages in Mavericks OS:  How can I get a ruler down the left side?  When I click on "Show Rulers,"  all I get is a ruler at the top.

    In the new Mavericks OS, when I use Pages, I cannot find a way to get a ruler on the left side of the document.  When I click on "Show rulers," all I get is a ruler at the top of the document.  How can I get a ruler on the left side?

    Wait for an Apple update to Pages which is suppose to put the vertical ruler feature back in.

    when i click on a link on a website it opens a new non working white page on (MAC) when i know the link works

    It sounds like your computer may be infected with some sort of a virus / Malware.
    I suggest the following resources:
    [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware |Is my Firefox problem a Result of Malware]] is a Mozilla Support article with some good tips on avoiding and fighting malware.
    To double check your system is clean, do the following (Not official Mozilla advice, just good practice from personal experience)
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
    Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
    Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
    Double check for all Windows Updates.
    Also, I noticed you have the coupon printer installed. I would go to Start, Control Panel, then programs and features and uninstall the coupon Printer from inside there. It can cause some problems with Firefox.
    If you are still having problems with Malware after that, I would recommend either [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/], or having your computer cleaned by a professional.

  • Firefox does not load the website when clicking a hyperlink in another program

    I am using Firefox 5.0.1 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I click on a hyperlink in another program, Firefox launch but show me a blank page, instead of the web page of that hyperlink. This only happen if Firefox is not launched prior to clicking the hyperlink. This mean, if I am already using Firefox (Firefox is opened) and I click on the hyperlink in other program's document, Firefox will launch that web page. Is there any setting that I need to do?

    I read those before .. but my problem is not any one of them !
    when i set proxy on firefox it does not work !
    when i set proxy on IE then setting firefox to system proxy it work !!

  • Passing a Dynamic value to a .JSP page when u click the hyperlink?

    Hi,
    I am displaying table with some Dynamic datas. I am iterating a list which contains the values are i am populating it in a <td> of the table.
    Like:-
    <table>
    <%
    ArrayList envNamesList=envDTO.getEnvName();
    if(envNamesList.size()>0){
    Iterator itr=envNamesList.iterator();
    while(itr.hasNext()){
    String envNames=(String)itr.next();
    %>
    <tr>
    <td align="center" ><font size="2"><%=envNames%></font></td>
    <td align="center" ><font size="2"> </font></td>
    <td align="center" ><font size="2"> </font></td>
    </tr>
    <%
    %>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    Here the envNames contains a list of values which will be displayed dynamically like
    Env1
    En2
    En3
    So when i click a particular envname say Env1, i need to pass this value as a query string to another envView.jsp. So that for that particular Env1, i can display the related data.
    So, my ques. is how to get the particular envname which is been clicked (href)?
    Please do provide an answer for this.
    Thanx,
    JavaCrazyLover

    Pass it as a GET parameter. The 'envNames' is already available to you inside that loop where you create links.

  • When I click on a link in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but just shows the home page, not the page I clicked for

    When I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but only shows the home page(s) not the page of the link

    I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
    In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
    How to to this?
    Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
    search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
    The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
    Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
    (for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
    You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
    If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
    Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.

  • When I click a link within a site, Firefox connects me to a blank screen instead of to the page/document I was trying to get to. Why?

    Let me give you examples:
    1. The USAA website told me to click a link to get my new insurance card. With Firefox, I was delivered to a blank page; with Safari, to my new insurance cards.
    2. Within my bank's website, I clicked the tab to get a statement. Firefox delivered me to a blank page.
    3. The email from the soccer association said click to register. Firefox delivered me to a blank page; Safari brought me to the registration page.

    This can happen if the disk cache isn't enabled (see about:cache) or otherwise the page isn't in the cache.
    If possible then try to open that video in a new tab with a middle-click on the link or via the right-click context menu.<br />
    Then you can close that tab instead of using the Back button to go back to that page.

  • When i click a button the webpage doesn't load... and sometimes the whole pages goes white and just shows words on the far left...

    idk if it is java or what, but every time i go to certain websites, like youtube.com they go blank and just show words, no images or nothing.. however i updated something and youtube works fine.. but now a website called roblox.com every time i hit the play button on a game, (it should load the game into a new window) doesn't do nothing when i click the icon.. to load it... can anyone help me with this problem?
    i have a windows 7 quad-core latest version of Firefox, so i have no idea, i think when i updated something it messed up the java source code.. or my Firefox got messed up... plz help?

    Hello,
    To protect against potential Java vulnerabilities, Firefox now asks you to activate Java by default, for each website you visit that uses Java. When you see an "Activate Java" message box, simply click it to load the Java content normally.
    [[Image:Fx24-JavaActivate]]
    If there is no visible area to activate Java content in the page, click the plugin icon in the address bar. In the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now" to enable Java content temporarily.
    [[Image:Fx24-JavaAllowNow]]
    The next time you visit the site or any other that uses Java you will see this message again. If you want to always activate Java for a particular site, you can use the "Allow and Remember" option shown above.
    For more information about using Java in Firefox, see the articles [[How to allow Java on trusted sites]] and [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]].
    '''Important:''' After activating Java, you may see a security prompt, asking you to confirm that you want to run Java, or you may see an "Application Blocked" message, depending on the website and your security settings in the [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/jcp_security.xml#control%20panel Java Control Panel]. These messages come from Java itself, not from Firefox.
    For help with Java security prompts and "Application Blocked" messages, see the Java Help pages [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?] and [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml Why are Java applications blocked by your security settings with the latest Java?]
    Does this solve your problem? Let us know.

  • When I click on the App Store I can only see "games" at the top of the screen, I can't see any Apps?

    Recently I have noticed that when I click on the App Store on my iPad it defaults to "games" at the top of the screen and I can't see any new apps? Previously it defaulted to Apps and you had to chose "games"  but now it seems to default to games and I don't know how to view apps without searching for the specific one?

    I am surely missing something very simple, and hopefully Ralph will see it, but no matter what I do, I cannot replicate what you are seeing, try something I recommend time and again. CLose the App Store app and reboot your iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the App Store app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
