Stop email links automatica​lly opening in browser

I accidently selected the option to always open links from my email in the toshiba internet browser and now everything opens there instead of having an option to open in an app instead. How can I reset this to give me an option of opening it "once" or "always" again as it's really annoying.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have seen this was posted in the Excite board.
In the Settings app, select "Apps" on the left. On the right section, there will be different tabs. It's kind of difficult to notice at first that there are tabs, but it should be on the "DOWNLOADED" tab at first. To the right of that is the word "RUNNING." Tap that to change to that tab, and now you should see "ALL" to the right of that. Tap that one. In the "ALL" tab, scroll down and find the application that's currently opening. Tap it. I assume it's "Browser." Now scroll down to the section called "LAUNCH BY DEFAULT" and tap the "Clear defaults" button.

  • I'm using outlook email, Firefox 11 and Windows 7 Home but email links do not open Firefox even though it's my default browser, Fix?

    My email links fail to open Firefox 11. They used to last week but IE updated and now links in my outlook emails do not open Firefox 11 even though it's my default browser. When I change to IE as the default the links open IE.
    Your assumptions about my browser, operating system and others are correct.
    VERY FRUSTRATING. HELP, Please

    Hi,
    Please also try this: Windows Control Panel > '''Default Programs''' > '''Associate a file type or protocol with a program''' > look for '''.url''' > '''Change program''' to Firefox.
    edit: You have to restart Outlook or sometimes reboot the system for the change to take effect. Thanks AUnderhill.

  • Email links will not open in my Firefox browser

    Hello, Using my Firefox web browser when I am in my emails. Inside the email body and there is a link to click on inside. The Firefox will not open the link page, it comes up as an error. However, if i right click and open in a new window. Firefox will then open the link and send me to that page.
    I then decided to try IE and when I double click the link within the email body, it opens it up with no issues at all.
    Firefox is my default browser.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Two days ago

    Hello,
    I have checked all the above trouble shooting suggestions. I still am having the same problem.
    I use Firefox as my default browser and have it checked off as per your last email. I am only having this problem in my emails. I cannot open url links in my emails anymore by double clicking on the mouse. I have to right click the mouse and choose open in a new window. It will then open that url link and take me to the website link.
    If I try this by double clicking the url link, it takes me to a blank page with this "https://mail.go....er=ohh14rw8mbn4"
    at the top of the page in the tab.

  • Email/share links in Safari open Chrome browser

    I recently switched to Safari as my default browser after many years using Chrome, which has become buggy and unreliable. My problem in Safari is that clicking on an email link, which is supposed to bring up my default email (Gmail), instead opens the Chrome browser. The only option under "Share" for "email this page, is the Chrome icon.
    I cannot find anything in settings allowing me to change the default browser for external email links. The only relevant field is Extensions, in where the Chrome icon represents the mail server, but as you see below, along with AirDrop and Messages, the boxes are inactive.
    So my question is, how do I prevent Chrome from opening every time I try to email from, or "share" a page?

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail
    If you don't use Mail, haven't set it up, and don't want to, then you'll have to enter fake data in the the  Add Accountdialogs and hold down the option key when you click Continue. Alternatively, you may be able to set the preference in the mail client you do use.

  • Email link in AS2 opens Safari window

    Does anyone know how to stop a browser window opening up when the email link is clicked? I'm using a button with this script:
    on(release){
        getURL("mailto: [email protected] ");
    Thanks

    Try testing it live on a server.  Often when testing locally opening other windows/applications doesn't behave as desired.

  • Email links won't open in Safari - keeps resetting to Mail

    OS X Mavericks
    Safari 7.0
    Mail 7.0
    My email links in Safari were opening in Chrome. I opened Mail, went to Mail > Preferences > General and changed 'Default email reader' to Safari. Then my email links opened in Mail! Went back to Mail > Preferences and it was reset back to Mail. Safari will not stick. I changed it to Firefox, that stuck. I set it back to Google Chrome, that stuck. But when I set it to Safari, it sticks only as long until I click on an email link in any browser, then it resets back to Mail.

    Do you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro installed? If so, that is the problem.
    You need to quit Safari, start the applicable program(s) you have, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box where it says "Display PDF in browser using:". Then go to Users/username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove the Adobe PDF plugin. Restart Safari and try view a PDF in the browser.

  • Why does email hypertext in PDF open web browser window in addition to email client?

    Using FrameMaker 10, I created the following hypertext: message URL mailto:[email protected] I then printed to PDF. When I click the link in the PDF it opens an email client message window (what I want) but also opens a web browser window with mailto:[email protected] in the address bar (what I don't want). Why would it open both? I don't know if this is a Frame issue (more likely), an Acrobat issue (less likely), or a browser issue (not likely). I hope I'm just missing something easy here.

    Should have given the following info earlier...running Win 7 64-bit with Outlook 2010 and Acrobat X Pro. That being said the path to verify "mailto" is different but it is set up fine. Same with Acrobat X Pro...settings are fine.
    Also, in reply to Harry28586 this is happening with Firefox, not IE (I should have mentioned that as well).
    I've found plenty of threads searching online regarding issues with email links in Acrobat on Win 7 machines with Outlook...many suggest editing the registry. I have no problem doing that but this is a work laptop and we have a don't-fix-it-yourself policy. So I'll keep looking. Thanks for all the suggestions.

  • Email links don't open firefox

    I noticed yesterday that when clicking on a link in an email, nothing happened. I thought it was just a problem with the link.
    Today, another email link would open firefox for a split second and then firefox would close.
    I also noticed that clicking on some links in web pages while using firefox would cause firefox to shut down immediately.
    I tried creating a new profile and I tried disabling all addons, but didn't help.
    I think this all started when I allowed firefox to install the latest update a couple of days ago.
    Any ideas how to fix this problem will be appreciated.
    Lewis Poteet

    Open Windows Internet Explorer. Have it declared as the default browser.
    If you want, you can turn off the "check if default" option.
    Now open Firefox, and have it declared as the default.
    Did this help?

  • MSN Hotmail/email links won't open when clicked on

    email links go dead

    Win7 / FireFox 3.6.13 / Win Live Mail 2011
    Tried setting IE8 to default internet app & surprise, surprise - Hyperlinks within Windows Live mail now open fine!
    Set FF back to default app & hyperlinks DONT work again.
    Tried setting .url association to poinr specifically to FF - still no go.
    Hyperlinks do work fine when running Hotmail via the net instead.
    Waiting for a reply I guess as I'm still 'finding my way' around Win7
    Can Mozilla please build their own OS :-)

  • Mail- I click an email link and Mail opens, but nothing happens

    I dont use mail.app How can I disable it completely so that it wont bother me? Whenever I click an email link, i dont want Mail to open. It would be nice if my gmail opened though.

    Hi wayner,
    Thank you for your question:
    In the Firefox > Options menu under Applications, search for "mailto". From there select the action drop down and select the action.
    If you click on the details of the action it should have https://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?To=%s
    This macro should take you to a compose mail if you are logged in.
    If the above information does not resolve your issue, please consider creating a new thread containing the specific details of your issue.

  • Email links won't open outlook on my iMac

    I'm developing a Wordpress site on a live server and started to test the email links and I discovered none of them open my Outlook 2011. I'm on a iMac using OSX 10.6.8 and Firefox 9.0.1
    Will people visiting the site have the same issue?
    If so is there a universal solution so my client won't lose business due to this issue?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Clicking email-links doesn't open "new message" window

    Hi,
    When I click email links, safari doesn't take me to the "new message" window. It activates safari: the program comes on in the dock and the text next to the apple logo changes to "mail", but I don't get the "new message" window

    You're welcome. Glad to have helped.
