Why can't I open a link from my e-mail

'''''bold text'''''This problem only started recently. I am running Firefox 3.6.17 and whenever I click on a link I get an error sound with the message: Windows cannot find (whatever the address is that I clicked on) please check your spelling and try again"...I'm pretty sure that's what it says, but why?
It sure would be nice if I could get an answer as soon as possible, because some of the things I click on don't have addresses so it's not like I can copy and paste them. Besides, it's a real nuisance.
Thanks,
Shannon

I noticed this as well.
I think inform Apple of this as I did.
They need to fix a few early release issues as is expected.

  • I have just updated to Firefox v 6.0.2 and can no-longer open web links from Windows Live Mail 2011 (Bld 15.4.3538).

    Shutting down programmes and rebooting computer did not help. Launching web links from Live Mail has never been a problem before. Error message reads " There was a problem sending the command to the program"

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

    Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

    Try this  - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Because your camera is newer than your software.
    You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2.  Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
    You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
    The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:

  • I can download and open pdfs on my macbook air.  Why can't I open a pdf from a webpage?

    I can download and open pdfs on my macbook air.  Why can't I open a pdf from a webpage?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go > Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Why can't i open a link to a PDF in a new tab?

    I want to click on a link in an email i was just sent from my teacher after her seminar, which is supposed to open a PDF of info. But when I right click it and select, open in a new tab, only a blank page shows up! But, since i KNOW it must be a proper link, I tried around and found another way: if I select, "save link as", a window pops up and lets me save it as an adobe reader PDF file in my computer, which i can then open and read. Why?
    I mean, what could be the problem? I have never had the problem before of not being able to right click something and select "open in a new tab", and have it work just that like, without the extra steps!

    A link can have several different scripts attached to it that supersede the normal behavior. These include actions that occur when you click (mouse down followed by mouse up) or when a mouse button is pressed on the link (mouse down) or when it is released over the link (mouse up). Usually the right-click > Open in New Tab/Window will bypass those.
    However, in some cases, when you mouse over a link you may occasionally see that it has no destination address, or seems to point to the same page, or starts with javascript:. In these cases, the right-click operation fails because it copies that nonexistent or dysfunctional link instead of running the script attached to the link.

  • Why can't I open word docs from mail anymore?

    Am on 10.8.2 on Macbook Air and doc and docx attachments tell me to choose application to open the doc with and won't open when I choose "Word"
    These used to be opened automatically by Word, not I have to manually choose Pages as the only option
    Am I missing something?

    I have now discovered if I drag the file from mail on to the WORD icon in the doc it will open....seems much clumsier than the old option of clicking on the file to open it
    Opening attached pics seems to require the same action as well using iphoto.
    A bit of a step back in my opinion....
    Save the word file from the email to your Mac (have you never saved an attachment before)?
    Post back when you can do as I asked you to.
    And remember that we are trying to find out what is wrong, don't be so snappy!
    haha...point taken. Wasn't feeling 'snappy' when I typed it, not intended as such...!
    If I save it somewhere as you suggested I can then open it
    also, as I mentioned if I drag the doc onto WORD in the dock it opens that way as well

  • Why can't I open a pdf from a web-site

    Windows 7 Home is my operating system.  Internet Explorer 10 is my browser.  I cannot open a pdf file off my VISA account web-site.  I have downloaded and agreed to the latest Adobe Reader XI (I also have Adobe X, should I uninstall it?)    When I try to open the pdf file which is my monthly VISA statement, I get this message:  "To help protect your security, your web browser has blocked this website from displaying non-secure content."  I have also turned off the pop-up blocker.  Nothing works.  Can anyone help.  I am a novice on computer technology, so I don't know much about the way the computer works (my husband is the expert in this household, but he's recovering from heart surgery and is not yet able to think through these situations).  I thought I already posted this problem, but I can't find my post.

    Firefox is a good browser, but it comes with its own PDF viewer, which may not display PDF files correctly.  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136
    If you want to continue to use Internet Explorer, you may want to lower its security settings; see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Change-Internet-Explorer-Security-settings

  • Just loaded v5.0. Why can I not open a link in the current tab as is usual?

    Left click does nothing with hot links. Right click only allows me to open the page in a new tab or window.

    Does this happen on all web sites, or only certain web sites?
    If it is limited to certain web sites, can you give example URLs?
    If it is on Sympatico.ca, see these threads:

  • HT201077 Why can't I open a link to share an iPhoto album?

  • Why can't I open raw files from 5diii into photoshop CS4?

    My second shooter has the 5Diii, and I am having trouble opening her raw files into my bridge and photoshop (CS4). I am using a 5Dii. The files are named differently and I can't preview any of her files in Bridge and Photoshop will not load them. ?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The 5D Mark III was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 (for CS5) and 7.1 (for CS6). ACR 6.7 is not compatible with CS4. CS4 is simply too old.
    The 5D Mark II has been supported since ACR 5.2 which is compatible with CS4.

  • Why can't I open my spreadsheet from Numbers when I can open it from my iOS Devices?

    When I try to open a numbers spreadsheet that is synced with my iCloud account; it gives me this prompt. I can still open it on my iPhone, my iPad, and the iOS website. When I try to do the new handoff application, it thinks about opening up Numbers but never does. If you have any ideas; that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi m3jankowski,
    Happy Holidays!  Is the issue happening with this specific Number spreadsheet, or any spreadsheet?  The resource below provides some steps to try if the Handoff feature is not working for your Numbers document on your Mac.
    Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5458
    Check the following settings on your Mac:
    Go to the Wi-Fi icon at the top of your screen and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
    Make sure your Mac and iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and compare the name of the network with the Wi-Fi network on your Mac.
    Go to the Bluetooth icon at the top of your screen and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
    In System Preferences > General, select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.” If you don't see this setting, your Mac may not support Handoff.
    Open the FaceTime app, go to FaceTime > Preferences and turn on “iPhone Cellular Calls.”
    Go to System Preferences, and sign out and then sign in again to your iCloud account.
    I hope this information helps ....
