Attempt to open links from our bank or utility company to view bill. etc. gets only a blank screen; instead of a url the address bar reads "About: blank"

We signed up for on-line billing from our utility company; when I log into their website and click onto the link to "view my bill" Firefox opens a new tab, but nothing loads on the screen; the "address" bar near the top of the screen where you'd usually see the url for the tab reads simply "About:blank" . I have the same issue with messages received from our bank, which are usually sent as .pdf files. I frequently open .pdf files from other sites without any problems, so my copy of Adobe Reader seems to be working okay.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Firefox and Thunderbird do not communicate anymore : I can't open links from TB emails ( a href... ) and can't send mail from FF pages (mailto)

Hi there,
Please excuse me if a make a few mistakes, I am French ;)
I come here because firefox and thunderbird are not working together anymore. This is what happens :
- Firefox and Thunderbird are opened
- I click on a link in an email
- A few seconds after that a Firefox windows pops up. The title is : "Close Firefox", the content is : "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Second case :
- Firefox is closed and Thunderbird is open
- I click on a link in an email
- A few seconds after that a Firefox windows pops up as expected. Firefox opens the link as expected but doesn't opens the other tabs as usual (when i start FF it re-opens previous tabs)
Third case :
- Firefox and Thunderbird are opened
- I click on a link to send an email (<a href="mailto:......@.....">)
- A few seconds after that a Thunderbird windows pops up. The title is : "Close Thunderbird", the content is : "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
As in the second case, if TB is closed when i click on the mailto, TB opens properly and send the email.
If Internet Explorer is set as my default browser, it works fine for "Thunderbird -> link -> IE" but the "IE-> mailto -> TB" still doesn't work.
I already looked up for some answers on google but can't find something which works.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Check the target field in the Firefox desktop shortcut and make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
Always make sure to start at least the default profile without the -no-remote command line switch.
If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch.
You can not send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the -no-remote switch.
In such a case you need to drag links in a Firefox window or paste the link in the location bar.

Clearing of open items from one Bank Account to one or several customer A/C

The requirement herein is to do the Posting & clearing of open items from one Bank Account to one or several customer Accounts. We will have to use the Standard program RFBIBL00 to achieve this because the program can do the posting and clearing of open items. I know that we will have to use the structures BSELK (Header) & BSELP (item) to get the clearing functionality as well. Now the question is to which field we will map the Bank A/C No. and the Customer Clearing A/C. I need help on mapping the data to correct structure fields. I thought about it and I think the data should be arranged like the following:
BGR00- Session Header
BBKPF- Header
BBSEG- Doc. data (Bank Account BBSEG-BANKN )----Can you confirm ??
BSELK-AGKON (Customer A/C- open item/ Header )
BSELP - Line Item
BSELK-AGKON (Customer A/C- open item/ Header )
BSELP - Line Item
BSELK-AGKON (Customer A/C- open item/ Header )
BSELP - Line Item
I know that the clearing can happen from one Bank A/C to several customer accounts. I am thinking on building up data in this format & then writing it to a file to sumbit the file data to RFBIBL00. Can anybody help me in building up the data. Kindly provide your helpful insights. I want to be sure if this is correct or not ?? One more question how to fill the BSELP structure ??

"Open links from applications" in Safari 5

Preferences > General > "Open links from applications"
This has been removed in Safari 5, so when I open, say, 10 weblocs I keep in a folder in the Finder, I now get 10 separate windows.
1) ***, Apple?!?
2) Any suggestions for a hack to fix this stupid oversight?
I could probably change Preferences > Tabs > Open pages in tabs instead of windows (which I currently have set to "Never" because it overrides keystroke+click for telling Safari how to open a link) and see what that does, but I like that preference the way it is.

Hi,
Is there any workaround for this issue. Because when multiple window gets spanned we are getting confused. Or let us know if there is any way to open the download prompt alone instead of opening up with the new window. One more thing to note is once the download is complete the new window also doesn't closes automatically which needs to be closed manually. This makes very annoying. Kindly let us know how to prevent the new empty window from opening.

Firefox will only open websites via url link, does not even attempt to connect through the address bar.

I can only open Firefox websites by using a url link. If I try to type something in the address bar it will not even attempt to load the page, no loading circle, no error or no connection message. I'm at youtube.com and I type in google.com and slap ENTER. Nothing happens. Nothing. I slap the ENTER key a couple more times to similar effect. I can open blank new tabs, but can't get the address bar to work. I can right click videos and have them open correctly in new tabs or windows, but the address bar refuses to do anything.
Internet Explorer works perfectly fine though. Despite the ads.
I've updated reinstalled, disabled my firewall, restarted firefox, restarted my computer, hasn't accomplished diddly jack squat. If anyone has any idea what's going on here I would highly appreciate your help.

Hello,
Try clicking on Tool --> Options --> Advanced --> General tab. Uncheck "Use Hardware Acceleration... ". Do you have any add-on like avg safe search installed?
Hope that helps.

I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open. I would select it again but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google on most visited list.

After updating AVG anti-virus, I encountered a problem on Firefox. I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open after clicking on it. I would select it again, even double click, but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google or yahoo from my dropdown on the most visited list and then click the website that I want to visit. I would like to do this in one step by just selecting a link from my history on the address bar and select a link instead of going to google and then writing the page I want to visit. What could be the problem? When going to the address bar to select a link to open, why does the site not open? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried the hyperlinks in other Office programs like Outlook and PowerPoint? Do they work well?
You may need to run the Fix it in this kb below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310049/en-us
You can also try the steps in the section "Let me fix it myself". Although this kb is written for Outlook, it may help in your scenario as well.
I hope this is useful.

Firefox won't open links from Skype?

Windows 8.1 Pro (x64), Skype is the latest version for desktop 6.10.0.104, Firefox is the latest version (of writing this question) - 25 Stable.
When I click on link in Skype nothing happens! Firefox is set as default browser for all the supported file types. If I change the default browser to IE 11 and click on Skype link, the link opens in IE without a problem.
Setting back defaults for Firefox doesn't help. I tried reinstalling both Firefox and Skype without success.
Any ideas? It's very unpractical to copy every link and paste it.

Hello,
Can you please confirm that the problem you are facing is different from the one reported earlier - [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961242 Firefox not opening links from Skype].
Or is the issue that there is no activity when you click on a link from Skype. Do other links (say in Outlook / Word) open Firefox when you click them? We want to narrow this down to see if this is a Skype specific issue.
Thank you

FF 3.6.12 will not open links from external sources (Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, etc)

I have just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12 and links clicked in an external source will not open in Firefox.

I have the same issue, opening links from external programs like Word or Thunderbird does not work. This used to work before the update to 3.6.12

Not opening links from mail - firefox turns grey at bottom

firefox usually opens links from "mail" in a new tab. Sometimes
firefox greys out and will not allow links to open. Clearing history
or restarting firefox solves the problem somettimes. Multiple restarts
may be required.

I suggest you to file a bug report regarding this issue: https://bugreport.apple.com/
I can confirm that Safari has serious issues with opening links from other applications. For example Content Guide links in Quicktime Player opens empty windows.

Safari not opening in landscape mode when opening links from mail

Hello,
Since the update to iOS8 I experience following: when using my iphone in landscape mode, opening links from the default mail app doesn't open Safari in landscape mode. I have to manually tilt the phone to portrait mode and back to get landscape mode.
When opening Safari manually in landscape mode, it works fine.
Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Hey there streatuac,
It sounds like the Safari app is not automatically switching to landscape when you open a link from the mail app on your phone. I would start by closing all the running apps on your phone first:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
