Firefox is adding advertising links to certain words on my website cornish-surfing.co.uk, and when I open a new tab an additional window opens with unwanted sites.
1. How can I stop these things from happening?
2. Why is it happening?
These things only happen when I’m using the Firefox browser. I use Sophos antivirus and firewall and the scans indicate my system is clean. So I’m assuming that it’s built into Firefox or there’s a security flaw with Firefox.
Can you let me know which and how I can stop it from happening?

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc (certainly nothing that is shipping with a plain official firefox build).
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Why is Reader opening links in Firefox even though Google Chrome is my default browser?

All the embedded links open Firefox instead of Chrome. I double-checked that Chrome was my default and whenever I open a link, Firefox notifies me that it's not my default browser and asks if I want to make it my default. I also have other Chrome tabs open if that makes a difference.

You can only do that by either selecting Firefox as the application to open a file or for a particular file or URL you can create a desktop shortcut by adding the URL to a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut.

When I click on an email link in Firefox, I get a message in the far left corner of my screen that says "mail to:email address". Outlook doesn't open up like it does in Internet Explorer. I've set Outlook as my default email in Windows 7.

Open a Telnet link with Firefox and bad things can happen

I happened to come across a site with a number of links, and the one I chose happened to be a telnet link. Here was my experience, and I had to put myself into the shoes of the average user who knows nothing about programming.
The link that caused Firefox trouble when Firefox was chosen to run it is this:
telnet://dxc.nc7j.com:7300
Click on the link and Firefox tells you that you need to select a program to open the Internet Shortcut Shell extension DLL. I have never heard of this, and I have no idea what to do here.
Choose to open with Firefox.
Now, if some error-handling routine had caught that Firefox, which is not capable of doing Telnet, was selected by the unknowing person behind the keyboard to go ahead and do Telnet, the error-handler would advise the user to the fact that this protocol is not supported and kill the process that is going to run out-of-control otherwise. Or cause to open the program that will run the Telnet session.
Better yet, I clicked on the Telnet link and offer a better description of the choices.
After all of what happened below, I installed Iron, a Chromium-based browser, and it opened a Telnet session window right away.
So what did happen, I clicked on Firefox to do this chore and was greeted by a never-ending opening of empty tabs and upon closing the browser, it relaunched and was off to the races again. And again.
OK so this ain't getting us anywhere.
Firefox opens once again, this time hit the big red X to close it, and let the prompt to close however many tabs anyway prompt sitting there.
I chose to run CCleaner, and I set that to blow away Firefox Cache and session. Run CCleaner, and tell it to force Firefox closed when it prompts that Firefox is open.
If by chance Firefox launches again, timing was perfect that the file that was causing Firefox to open was not yet cleaned, so run the CCleaner again a few times. When Firefox is no longer opening, we are back to the world of sanity.
Now, I could go in and reset the Tools Options Applications tab and look for Telnet, and replace the use of Firefox with "ask me."
Fortunately, I know a little more than some about the computer, and I knew I had to use a utility to clear out the Firefox cache.
You have a description of the issue in your knowledgebase, but it has Firefox opening endless empty tabs, but Firefox was closed and the situation is under control.. Restart Firefox manually, start a new session and then enter the Tools menu and fix the setting.
There is a knowledge base article on this very topic, but it has the user close Firefox and then all is back to normal. One can open Firefox and get into the menu to fix the issue. There was a mention in there about malware as a possible cause of the constant reopening I experienced, but Malwarebytes scans were clean.
"Well, this is embarrassing!" I have seen that nice touch to Firefox for many years, and may I compliment those who thought of that one.

I agree, it can become a vicious circle.
The default setting to try to restore all the windows and tabs automatically after a crash isn't the best setting. Personally I do change that so I get the "this is embarrassing" screen. So one option would be to file a bug report suggesting this be changed going forward.
Another potential follow-up action would be to update the knowledge base article to better address how to recover in these situations. For example, a user could start up Firefox without restoring the previous session by:
* Launching Firefox with a specific URL
** Using a desktop shortcut
** Using a link in an external application
** On the command line, typing firefox.exe "about:blank"
** (Possibly more ways to do it)
* Renaming the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder
** On the plus side, preserves the option to restore that session later
** On the minus side, difficult for many users to find folders hidden by the OS, and the .js extension may be hidden by the OS
Since the KB is a wiki, you can go in and make edits and improvements. The syntax is a bit funky, but not much worse than this forum.

When I click email links on firefox, it won't open my AOL email client to continue, I get "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix?

When I click email links on firefox, it opens AOL, but comes up like this.. "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix? and yeah, I know, ditch AOL and all that good stuff, but I have so many things tied into my email address that it's not in the cards atm..
Thanks!

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.

I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.
I guess what I have experienced might be a special case of 'Restore previous sessions'. The actual situation was that after I rebooted my laptop, Adobe update jumped out indicating an update being finished successfully. After I clicked on the 'close' button of the Adobe window, it automatically started firefox and linked to its website. But I did not find the 'Restore previous sessions' page this time. Then I restarted firefox, this time there was a start page with 'Restore previous sessions'. However, sadly enough, it is only restored my pinned pages plus the Adobe website. Actually, I am using 'bookmark all tabs' from time to time to secure opened tabs, but this time I did not expect such an incident. I would suggest to improve the 'Restore previous sessions' with multiple time tags and appear in all cases including my reported case here, after updating firefox, crashes etc. I like firefox in most occasions, therefore believe and hope it becomes better and more robust. Thank you very much!

Hi,
Please see the following support request: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2628065
I think the best option would be to leave feedback here to let the relevant development team know about the problem you have had: https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback
Also you could try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager] add-on which gives more control over how sessions are restored.
I hope that helps

Did you try to change that file action in Tools > Options > Applications

If that isn't possible then try delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

Hi Lynn
And here I was about to suggest you review the link below.
Silly me.

Thunderbird occasionally opens links in Firefox; some open, most do not. Each click on a link produces a new Firefox.exe in Task Manager, Win. 7.

I have tried all suggestions in articles relating to 'links in Thunderbird not opening in Firefox.' None of them work.
The issue is, one link will usually open if it is the first time I click a link in Thunderbird. After that I cannot open any links to Firefox, and each click on a link in Thunderbird (including the first one) produces an additional firefox.exe in Task Manager (see image). Each of these Firefox iterations are generally 49,000+K. They do not seem to interfere with Firefox's operation.
I also cannot right click to 'open link in browser.' Only copying link location and pasting it into the browser is working for me. this has been fairly recent with the last two upgrades to Thunderbird.
Any suggestions?

This is a Thunderbird forum but there should be an option to open in a new or existing window or tab. You might ask over in the Firefox forum for more details.

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different slot to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.<br />
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in the browser.newtabpage.pinned (default = [null]) and browser.newtabpage.blocked prefs that you can check/modify on the about:config page (Bug 791447).

How do I cut and paste a link into firefox?

Can't seem to get it right

Please update to the current Firefox 22.0 release.
*Help > About Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Updating+Firefox
The Firefox 14 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
*It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.
Where are you trying to paste a link in Firefox?
Is this when composing an e-mail message?
There is usually a button bar with buttons to format text like Bold and Italic just above the text area where you compose and edit the message text.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the link text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).
