I have tried every solution i could find, and nothing helped. I use Firefox 16.0.2 on win7 ultimate x64bit

  • When I click on a link Firefox does not allow me to go to the link

    When I click on a link Firefox does not go the link.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Along time ago.

    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.

  • I am trying to download a font I've purchased previously (in 2006), but when I click the Download link in My Orders, I get a message that I have no downloads. How do I download a font I've already paid for?

    Ericsvaren please make sure the date range selected is sufficient to include the order for your font.  I would also encourage you to make a local back up in case you need the font again in the future.  You can find more information on how to download purchased software and fonts at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

  • HT5842 MacBook Air 13" running 10.7.5 When I click to download Mavericks in the App Store, nothing happens.  What could be the solution?

    MacBook Air 13" running 10.7.5 When I click to download Mavericks in the App Store, nothing happens.  What could be the solution?

    There may be no progress bar apparent for Mavericks in the App Store. It may be a bug associated with this particular download.
    To determine if it is actually downloading use Launchpad. You should see a fairly obvious new icon with an associated progress bar. Make sure you check every Launchpad page by swiping left / right.
    If it's paused, click the icon to restart it.
    Once it completes the icon will appear in Applications and Launchpad, it's just easier to find in Launchpad.
    When it's finished downloading it looks like this:
    If it really is not downloading read Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
    Open the Mac App Store.
    From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases to get to your Purchases Page.
    Click the Resume button next to the app name.

  • Help! I am unable to even download Firefox. The "run" window never opens when I click the download link.

    I am currently using Internet Explorer Version 8.0.6001.18702IC on my PC desktop, and want to switch to Firefox. I have clicked the download link in several places with no result at all

    Don't try to run the Firefox installer directly, but save the file to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click.<br />
    You may need to disable your anti-virus software temporarily if you still have problems.
    You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

  • Firefox in Windows. When I click on a link, Firefox will hang up with a rotating cursor. Problem goes away by moving mouse. This does not happen with IE.

    Using Firefox 27.0, when I click on any link, a rotating cursor appears and continues to rotate. Moving the cursor will solve the problem. I have had this problem for several versions of Firefox, and I use auto updates.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just 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, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the 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 other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • When I click on some links, Firefox tries to open a ton of new tabs... I have to force quit. How can I stop this?

    Sometimes when I click on a website link, Firefox goes crazy with trying to open new tabs... it keeps going until I force quit. How can I stop this?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I clicked on a link

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

  • When I click on a link, Firefox opens a new window for that link, how do I change this setting?

    I am unaware of having made any changes to my settings before this started. The best way I can describe it is that simply clicking on a link causes it to "open link in new window" rather than simply "open"

    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.

  • When I click on a link, firefox sometimes creates 100s of 'searching bookmarks and history' tabs until I cold power down.

    If I restore Firefox to save existing tabs (including the 100s of 'searching bookmarks and history' tabs), I will receive approximately 3 times a day a 'Firefox terminated unexpectedly' message. What is triggering the proliferation of tabs?

  • When I click on a link, multiple(and by multiple, I mean a ton) blank tabs open. The only way to stop more blank tabs from opening is to close out of firefox completely. Do I have a virus or do I need to change my settings?

    If I click on something to open in a new tab or click on someone's email to open Outlook, instead of doing that, a bunch of blank tabs open. I'm fine with a couple blank tabs, but they keep opening. The only way to stop the tabs from opening is to close out of firefox entirely. When I try to reopen firefox, blank tabs again begin to reopen. You can't close out of them fast enough because they keep opening. To stop opening the blank tabs, you must restart firefox a second time.
    Is this a virus or something wrong with my firefox settings??

    Firefox includes options of how to handle different content types, in your case the mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For details of how to fix this see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section "Change the action for a content type".

  • Sometimes when I click on a link, Firefox opens a wierd Google window. I just had my computer re-imaged and it's still happening. How do I stop this from happening?

    The Google window that is opening is not your typical Google homepage. It is specialized by topic.... i.e. Google Cars, Google Real Estate, Google Decor, etc. I don't know why these windows are opening up when I surf the net or even if they're authentically Google.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Sometimes when I click on a link Firefox opens a blank page. How can I fix this?

    Try start Firefox in Safe Mode, sometimes addons cause this issue:

  • Many times when I click on a link that does not use a new tab, a new page opens under my current page, instead of 'on top'. How do I get new pgs to Open On Top

    No further information.

    Waka, I have Kaspersky running 24/7 but Cor-el (from Superman, I think) gave me a list of software to try.
    Cor-el, the middle click seemed to work on a page that went under, which I deleted and tried again with the wheel click.
    Waka and Cor-el, I have been planning to reinstall my Windows 7 OS and upgrade it to Pro, from Home at the same time. Will possibly re-partition C: and -will- reformat it. Will have to re-install ALL my software plus some of my softwares' user information, which I have also backed up, along with favorites and many others.

  • Links in email won't open. When I click on a link, it goes to open tabs in FF, but the new link doesn't open.

    When I get a link sent in an email, the link no longer opens when I click on it. When I click on the link, Firefox and the open internet tabs appear on my screen, but the new link does not open. I must manually copy the link, then paste it in the address bar to get it to open.

    I have the same problem with FF 3.6.13, and Mac OS 10.6.5.
    Clicking links in Mail opens FF, but does not open the URL. Safari has no problems when I reset it as my default browser. The problem seems to develop over time. At first, links open fine, but then all of a sudden they won't.
    My remedy has been to reinstall FF, but I've had to do it twice in the last couple of weeks, which is getting a bit annoying.
    I have not experienced the problem on either of my two older Macs (running 10.4, and 10.5).

  • Linked PDFs in Muse don't seem to open or automatically download when I click on them in Firefox.

    Linked PDFs in Muse don't seem to open or automatically download when I click on them in Firefox. Am I doing something wrong? Seems to work okay in Safari. This is for a Muse site uploaded to an FTP site.

    PDFs are not web files.  Technically they're media files that require helper applications.  As such, your end users need the latest Acrobat reader & plug-ins installed for their browsers.  If either of these are not installed, the PDF links won't "do" anything when clicked. Similarly, some people set their preferences to download & launch PDF files in Acrobat Pro instead of their browser. 
    Since there's no way to tell which software & settings your end users have, you should follow the customary procedure of creating a small thumbnail image of the PDF to give users a visual clue of what the file contains along with a direct link to the PDF & instructions on how to right click to save the file to their hard drive.
