Url links in Mail & Word are not opening in Firefox. Safari loaded url's just fine. Working on Mac OSX 10.6.6

Suddenly today when I click on url links in Mail or Word the desktop switches to Firefox but not page opens. This changed on both my desktop (iMac) and laptop (Macbook Air). I've never had this happen before. I tried Safari and the url's loaded just fine. Help! - jim
Firefox 3.6.3 Mac OSX 10.6.6 Apple Intel duo core iMac and Air

My camera is a 1Ds mk II..
and for that one it says
All versions tested. All versions tested. Supported only through Lightroom 4.1.
however, it also says
Windows XP, Vista, 7; Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
which is plain wrong, because Canon never supported any drivers for Windows Vista or Win 7, not to speak of XP 64bit. (You cannot connect the camera via firewire, without the device drivers!)

  • External URL links from T. Bird E mail program will not open in Firefox. Why not ?

    I switched browsers from Opera to the latest Firefox. I open my Thunderbird email program, attempt to link to a newspaper article URL or a link to any other site and FireFox does not open. I'm using Windows XP(SP3), Thunderbird v.8.0 and Firefox 8.0.1. I've tried modifying the profile, i.e. deleting parent lock and mime types.rdf files, as suggested in various places, unchecking read only attributes in folders, etc. but nothing has effected a change.
    No problems in opening links with my old browser.

    In about:config, browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external is set at -1.
    Yes, Firefox is already open when I click on the link embedded into an email message. If I copy and paste the link, it opens the web page with no problem. Also, if I right-click on the link in the email (usually embedded behind a button) and select "Open Link Behind Mail," it will also open the web page, however it does not jump to a Firefox window, I need to go there manually.
    If Firefox is closed when I click on the link in the email message, the browser will open with the linked web page.
    Here are all my browser.link.open settings:
    browser.link.open_newwindow;3
    browser.link.open_newwindow.disabled_in_fullscreen;true
    browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external;-1
    browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction;2

  • Skype chat links are not opening in firefox on Mac

    Hello,
    I have Mac book pro running OS 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard", skype 6.15 (335), and my default browser is Firefox version 32.0.3.
    Recently I experience a problem when someone send me a link it dose not open in Firefox, actually it switch to Firefox when I click on the link on Skype chat but no new tab is opening. I have to right click the link and then choose "Open URL" to get the link.
    If you have any suggestions please help.
    Thank You

    I had a similar problem on a website when a particular page was writing on the screen. This particular page later discovered contained a code that disabled anything from being clicked on or selected etc. It was as though there was an invisible windows in front (literally there was). I removed the code and everything went back to normal.
    Nothing wrong with Firfefox, Windows or Ubuntu. Incidentally, windows Internet Explorer v8 didn't have a problem since it was not up to date to handle the new CSS code. :)
    Here's the code that prevented anything on the page from being clicked:
    <div id="FirebombOverlay" style="display: block; position: fixed; left: 0pt; top: 0pt; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; outline: medium none; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; z-index: 999999;"></div>
    Most likely it got injected there without the user being aware of it. This was injected back in march 2012 so since then the browsers did not pick it up and just plainly ignored the code until new browser updates got installed to handle the css code.
    I have no idea how it got there but my best guess would be a silent plugin of which I have no idea which one.
    The above code is some form of style sheet code that puts a layer in front of the page. It would be put into good use in stopping people from selected the page contents or to do damage to there site. You can perhaps put it over images from stopping people downloading using browser right click save image command.
    I hope this would help those who are having the problem.

  • 7.1.2 update affects links in mail.  Will not open to web

    After latest update I cannot follow links in mail to the web.  They stopped working.  Any fixes yet?

    Try a reset and see if that fixes it. No data will be lost.
    Reset 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.

  • Generated html does not open in firefox/safari when embed in an iframe

    Hello,
       I have been meddling with robohelp for a few weeks now. I can generate a html site from a Framemaker book fine. This is embed in an <iframe> to integrate it into our website. It works correctly on chrome. However on firefox/safari all I get is '  '. On viewing the source, it becomes apparent that this wierd bunch of characters appears before the <html>. I looked into the actual html generated and I see this tag <feff> prefixed before <html> in every file. Naturally, I went ahead and removed it and the page now loads correctly on firefox/safari. However, the bullets are all messed up. I read a post somewhere which said <feff> contains some information about css classes.
    I use Technical Comm Suite-3.5(full version). The webhelp html is generated using the publish functionality from framemaker using a saved *.isf settings file.
    So how do I fix this? Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks

    The "weird bunch of characters" is known as the BOM (Byte Order Mark). The problem is on the server.
    I saw the same thing when first using RoboHelp 8 and this is what I was advised by the company hosting my site.
    "I would therefore conclude that the solution to this problem (on Linux systems running Apache) is to add the AddDefaultCharset utf-8 directive to either the Apache config or the site .htaccess file. The advantage of the latter is that it only affects individual sites. The default Apache character set is taken from the locale file on Linux and defaults to iso-8859-1. It is the conflict between the Apache header with iso-8859-1 and the page character set of utf-8 that obviously causes Firefox a problem."
    In a forum post Chrissy_Tissy added
    My machine is Windows, but this fix still worked  - some notes about making the fix visible:
    1. Do the fix itself (httpd.conf: AddDefaultCharset utf-8).
    2. Restart the box to apply the fix.
    3. Once the box is restarted, clear your cache in FireFox to make sure you don't continue to see the cached file.
    Once all this is done you will see the output content as expected.

  • When I click a link in email client (apple mail), it does not open in firefox. I have checked both Firefox and Safari and Firefox is the default browser.

    When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.

    Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.

  • A link with shtm# extension will not open in Firefox but will open in IE.

    A job site I visit from time to time has a careers link, ''www. xxxxxxx. com/Careers/default.shtm#''. In IE, a new window opens showing the various opportunities. In Firefox, nothing seems to be happening.
    ''edited by a moderator to break the hyperlink which was loading a porn website''

    This appears to be a duplicate of [/questions/794153].
    Perhaps in your original post you may care to give the correct link for the job site, if it is something publicly available.

  • Links in emails (Thunderbird) do not open in Firefox 16.0.1

    Installed 16.0.1 today. Links in emails used to open as a new tab, now they open in a new window and only as a blank page. I reconfirmed both FF and TB as default, yet the problem persists.

    Never mind. Updated Tab Mix Plus and problem resolved.

  • Google product listing ad campaigns are not opening with Firefox

    I have a Google Adwords account with Product Listing Ads. Everything was working fine on 10/31, however today, 11/3, the Product Listing ad campaigns are no longer openings and the cursor just spins.
    I have contacted Google regarding this problem and they are able to fully access the account. I have also tried my account on another browser with no problems. Can you please tell me what update was made in the past couple of days, or what I need to do so that I can fix this?
    Thank you.

  • Some applications are not opening, including mail and Word.  Clicking on the icon stirs it on the dock, but will not open it.

    Ok, that's plenty of space.
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

  • Links in Mac Mail will not open in Firefox. This recently became an issue.

    When I select a hyperlink in Mac Mail the courser changes shape but will not open in Firefox, my default browser. I have used Mail with Firefox for a couple of years & it worked fine, until now. I can change the default to Safari & it works fine with Safari.
    Also periodically Firefox hangs up & I have to force close it. That started to happen only recently too.

    The operating system has to have information about what the default browser is in order to open a link in a browser.

  • Fire fox is crashing as well as "sent" mails are not opening, all of a sudden, continue & cancel will appear, sometimes copy & paste is not working

    -The system has crashed/closed on it's own. Have had to put the pc off to get the system started again, yesterday, the hotmail was not opening either, once it opened after some time, other times I had to open Mozilla again.
    -Some of the "sent" emails are not opening for me to check what I've written.
    - After I've opened my hot mail account, the continue & cancel signs will appear again.

    As the day progressed, all other files quit being able to save to the desktop.  As I tried to diagnose the issue, I went through the Repair Disk in Disk Utilities and was told by that program to close and use the disk repair from Recovery HD (CMD + R upon reboot).  I did that and was eventually told the HDD was too far gone to repair.  I reformatted and restored from Time Machine following the instructions given.  All is good now after 24 hours of work.  I have no idea what happened but I'm not feeling real safe about my mac today.  I have an SSD on order.
