When i click a link i get The Address wasn't understood

I use outlook. When I click on a link i get a message that "the address wasn't understood". I need to open links.

Do you mean Outlook, the program that is part of Microsoft Office on your PC, or Outlook, the new Hotmail?
If you right-click > Copy Link Location and then paste it into the address bar, does it start with an unusual protocol? I mean, something other than http or https? If so, Firefox might not be set up to open links with that protocol. What is it?

HT4628 I am able to download updates and send and receive email so I know I have connection to my wireless router. However, when I click on Safari, I get the message "Safari quit unexpectedly." What is my problem and how do I solve?

When I click on Safari, I get the message "Safari quit unexpectedly." I know I have access to my wireless net work because I just found and downloaded updates and can send and receive mail. What is my problem and hoe is it solved?

We have a new computer and I cannot get my garmin running watch to sync with mozilla. The error message that I keep getting is"The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (connectagent) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
You might need to install other software to open this address."
Help please

This is for a special URL that starts with
connectagent://
instead of with
http://
is that right?
Two thoughts:
(1) Could you try changing a setting for your Garmin plugin. Here's what I mean:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
Find your Garmin plugin change "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate".
Your system information seems to list two different versions of a similarly named plugin. I'm not sure whether that is causing a problem.
(2) Does Garmin's documentation specify any extra steps to set up Firefox, other than installing its add-ons?

Hi there.

You might need to install other software to open this address." What software do I need to install to make this work? Thanks!

You need to install the Creative Cloud app/ application manager first.

When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I update FireFox to 3.6.8

That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

I have recently upgraded our Choir's website, and used iWeb to create the upgrade. It was previously done with other software.
Now, when I go to the site, (comc.ca), the first page comes up fine, but when I click on the links to other pages, I get this message.....
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/virtual/comc.ca/htdocs/Site_3/Contact_Us.html on line 1
I went to an Apple store, (I still have time left on my one-to-one period), but didn't get an answer.
Any suggestions really appreciated.
Thanks,

Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

When I click on links in websites the links don't work unless I right click and choose open website in another tab/window. This is even a problem on the Firefox page.

When I try to open a link on any page/website Firefox does not open the link. It doesn't even "work" at opening the link, it just sits idling. I have to right click and choose "open link in new tab/window" in order for Firefox to open the link. It doesn't happen 100% of the time but happens especially if there is a button or picture that must be clicked. Simple text links seem to work more often then button or picture links. One example provided below. When you click on the "launch Jumpstart" button it will not open unless you right click & open new. This also happens from my Yahoo! Email account, on Facebook, Cructhfield.com and other websites with "button" related links.

I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

Drop down bookmarks seem to be transparent even after delaying until the URL appears. When I click on one I get the screen behind it. Takes several attemps

Every time I try to use bookmarks It takes several attempts. Even if I wait till the URL appears I still get what is behind that selection( Fox news story normally) It takes as many as 5-6 attempts to get the bookmark selection to work. Its not transparent. It just does not work. I have the latest updates. This started about 2 months ago and is getting worse. I have cleared every thing I could to try to correct it. HELP!

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Lately(2013) when i click a link in Firefox, the window that opens is maximaized instead of half or quarter sized like it has always been. why? fixes?

Just recently May 2013, when I click on a link that opens a new window, the window opens as maximized instead of the reduced size it normally does. why? I can't find any support for this issue. I am operating Windows 7 with service pak 1. And using Firefox 21.0. is this a bug? how do I fix it?

That worked perfectly. not sure how i pressed f11, but thank you so much!

I set up ZSync on my desktop and got my sync code, but when I click on sync, I get the set up window, not the add a computer window. What should I do now?

My desktop doesn't seem to recognize that I already have a sync account, so I tried to set up a new one. When I put in my email address, it was rejected as already in use. How do I get past this roadblock?

Hi truckerdude40!
You may have some previous iTunes software still on your computer that would be preventing you from installing or launching the new version of iTunes. Here is an article that will help you completely uninstall iTunes and all related components:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

And here is the link that will help you download iTunes again once you have completed the uninstallation:

I am unable to use safari....when I try to click out of it I am unable to do so, it is faded....when I click onto safari, I get the apple page. Please advise.

I am unable to open safari...the apply page automatically come on...when I try to click out of safari, I can't do it because it's not in bold black, it's faded and will not allow me to click out. Please advise.

By default, www.apple.com is the page that Safari loads when starting. You can change that by clicking on "Safari" in the menu bar, then "Preferences", the "General" tab, then playing with the options and entry under "Safari opens with:" and "Homepage:"
Not sure I'm understand the problem when you're "clicking out" of Safari...

Ok my firefox restarts all the time. I play games on facebook and my cursor restarts alot. I have cleared cache and temp files. when I click on something I get the little blue wait circle all the time. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, didn't help.

I move my cursor and it stops and the little circle appears. It takes a few seconds for the cursor to come back. Sometimes as I'm playing the page refreshes. I have windows 7. How do I get back my earlier version of firefox? All my plug ins are up to date.

Never mind, it somehow fixed itself. At least the itunes store did, but my ipod nano is still not able to sync.

How can I have both genius playlist and regular playlist on my new 160g ipod classic. The list of songs are there, but when I click playlist, I only get the genius playlists.

How can I have both genius playlists and regular playlists available on my new 160g classic ipod. I can see my entire song list, but no playlist other than the 3 genius playlist I just made. Also how can I delete a genius playlist. Made the same playlist twice by mistake. Thanks.

This was not a simple task. Got it handled. Had to call Apple support. Apparently, the 160g only syncs the genius playlist. You have to go in and "tell it" to sync the entire playlist as well as the genius playlists. There is also an option for only syscing certain songs. On itunes, there is two sections; one for the stuff that is synced on your ipod and another separate list for the stuff in your library! This is exciting for me as I am not computer savvy to say the least.
