Why when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail does Firefox open the website twice?

Firefox i my default browser. When I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail two Firefox windows open at once, not one.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.<br />
You can try to disable all extension to see if it still happens.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If it works in Safe mode or with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
You can also check for issues caused by DDE.

    Before when I clicked on a hyperlink in a Pages document Pages immediately opened the link.  Now Pages ask if I want to "Edit or Open" the link.  Is this an option that I can turn or off or is this just a change with the latest update?  This only started in the last six months or so.

    Use Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Firefox opens when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in my Outlook 2003 program, but does not go to the URL in the link. It used to work before I re-installed my MS XP Pro 64 bit OS. Help!

    At first, after I re-installed the OS, nothing would happen when I clicked on an e-mail hyperlink. So I went to Folder Options in Control Panel and associated Firefox with the E-mail file type. Firefox then opened when I clicked on a hyperlink in an e-mail, but just opens to the Firefox start page ("Blank page"). Firefox does not open the URL in the hyperlink. I need guidance as to how to restore this function which worked perfectly before I had to re-install the OS due to a corrupted program installer. I have run the MS Office Detect and Repair function twice--both times indicating that everything is fine--but it does not make a difference in fixing the Firefox function.
    NEW: An attempt to click on the link in Security Center to go to Microsoft Update brings up an error message that reads: "The requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context." I have no idea what this means, but I suspect it is related to the lack of ability to open Firefox to a link URL.
    See the uploaded screen print(JPEG) below.
    UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED!! Searched on error message on line, solution fixed problem. THANKS ANYWAY

    # Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
    # Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
    # This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
    I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:

  • Why does Firefox open the printer dialogue box whenever it starts up

    When Firefox opens the printer dialogue box automatically opens - why and how do I stop it doing this.
    This never used to happen on previous versions of firefox

    Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.
    Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

  • Why,when I click on a link it can not be located & Firefox stops working?

    when I click on a link (for example in an e-mail) the following message appears: The procedure entry point js_NextActiveContext could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll
    Then another message comes up stating: Firefox has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    If I open Mozilla Firefox it works alright. Thanks for any help.

  • When I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail Firefox will not start

    If Firefox is already running, clicking a hyperlink in an e-mail, takes me right there.
    BUT if Firefox is NOT already running, clicking on a link does NOTHING!

  • Why whenn I go to local files in Muse Export it does not load the pages in my browser?

    I was testing and tried to winzip the files to upload to a site (blackboard) but when I tested to view them straight from local files is not uploading in browser properly?
    Urgent, help please
    PS
    It does look wonderful from business catalyst site. Is there any way I can download the files from Catalyst site?
    This are the things I have tried:
    a) export html files in to a local folder and...computer says no
    b) Manage site from business catalys in dreamweaver and get the files to local site and still does not work
    c) tried direct from Muse Export file and still does not work
    Help please
    Kind regards

    Morgan, I know the files need to be untouched for an FTP upload, but this is not for an FTP upload. Blackboard it is an educational CMS to upload info for courses and it does strips the data. In order to create an interactive element to a module I can upload an HTML file to be 'living' in their host as a page and in that way it is possible to be interactive.
    Sachin, I I'd export them as HTML and I have been working with them in muse, dreamweaver and embedding edible edge animate CSS and it runs well in catalyst but when I click in the local files( muse export file) it does not open well on the browser. All design is gone and only basic HTML.
    Any thoughts?
    Ps
    I did access catalyst site via dreamweaver and downloaded all files in an other folder locally but still when I click directly in the folder HTML page it does not link on the browser

  • Firefox will not open when I click on it. It won't even let me open the profile manager. Uninstalling it and re-installing it does nothing. And it is driving me insane. I need firefox.

    It will not open. No matter what I do.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
