Being directed to an incorrect web page when clicking on a link

I use Firefox 4.0.1 and Windows SP SP3.
For the past couple of weeks my browser response has been very slow loading pages and occassionally (10-15 times a day) will redirect me to an incorrect location when I click on a google search link. If I back up and click the link a second time I am sent to the correct location.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on a fix for this problem?

Press the Shift, Option, and Command keys while clicking on the link. The exact combination of keys needed varies depending on the settings in the Tabs section of Safari's preferences; you can check this screen to find out the current state without changing any settings.

  • Flash/Flash Player will not open link to web page when clicked

    Hi there, I am testing a FLASH animation ad that has links to a website.   When I click on the links, it opens firefox but it doesn't go to the  link!  I have added the links and the file names in the Adobe Flash  Settings Manager, restarted several times, restarted in Safe Mode and it  still does not work!  I cannot find any information on this. My coworker also tried it and it does not work for him on IE on Windows.  HOWEVER, If I have SAFARI open it works fine, and If I drag and drop the .swf file into either browser and then click on the links it goes to the web page.   If it  helps I am on a MAC using Snow Leopard and I am using Flash CS3.

    Go to this link:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
    Go to global security settings.
    Click browse for folder, go to your drive root (or the folder where your swf/fla is and select it. You should see that folder get added to the security exception list. Re-test tell me what happens.
    Thanks,
    Jesse

  • Opening a new browser page when clicking on a link

    hi there
    when i am in an internet page and want to open a link, sometimes it will open a new window and other times it will take the page that the link is on, and change that page into the new page that I linked on.
    If I want to keep that page that contains the link, how do I get a new window to open when I click on the link and keep my orginal page open as well?
    Thank you

  • Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

    Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
    It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
    YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
    HELP!!

  • I keep getting internet explorer cannot display web page when trying to download itunes. This only shows on half the page where the download link would be. My internet connection is fine.

    I keep getting internet explorer cannot display web page when trying to download itunes. This only shows on half the page where the download link would be. My internet connection is fine.  Any idea what the problem may be?

    You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.

  • How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there?

    How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there? I can do that in Firefox automatically, but can't seem to find how to do it in Safari.  I'm thinking maybe it's just now possible yet?

    From your Safari menu bar click History / Reopen All Windows from Last Session.
    Or..
    Glims can  re open tabs from a previous session if that helps.

    Compatible with Snow Leopard v10.6 and Safari 5+ and it's free.

  • Automatically load web page when select topic

    I've been able to perform this functionality in RoboHelp (winhelp), but have not yet figured out how to do this in RoboHTML.
    Upon topic load I would like a web page to display within the topic pane. In RoboHelp, I did this by creating a html jump from the topic heading. It looked like this:
    JumpHtml(`http://www.cerner.com')
    Does anyone know how to do this in RoboHTML? It doesn't seem that I'm able to format the topic heading to automatically load a web page when the topic loads.

    Hi there
    Configure the topic as a redirect.
    Check out my Tips and Tricks file for info on how to redirect.

  • After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Help?

    After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Usually non-text confirm type links. Like to enter an account.
    One Example below. I can't click open the 'My Account' button at the top: http://www.boostmobile.com/
    I also miss the Google toolbar. I used it frequently.
    I am ready to revert to an older version of Firefox.

    I did't have a problem clicking on the link. It is JavaScript perhaps you have JavaScript turned off Tools > Options > Content or perhaps NoScript extension.
    '''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.
    *Enable Google Toolbar in Firefox 5<br>http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/enable-google-toolbar-in-firefox-5.html
    *the-edmeister posted a brief evaluation of the situation<br>https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/841736
    In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see

  • When clicking on a link ALLOT of the time I get "Page Not Found"

    When clicking on a link ALLOT of the time I get a 'Page Not Found' message or something similar.... this has been happening since you guys got to the 3.X version... NEVER EVER had this issue in the 2.X version.... it's getting tiring...
    Another issue I have, which is sort of related .... if I click on a picture and there is a referral link embedded to a larger version of that picture when I go to save the image instead of having jpg, gif or png extension it's got htm extension on it... if I change the extension manually it's fine but it's still VERY annoying.
    Thanks

    Click Tools | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, checkmark "'''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup'''". Then click the "Check Now" button to test it.

  • When clicking on a link in an email, an error message kept coming up, implying an incombatibility .

    When clicking on a link in an email, an error message kept coming up, implying an incombatibility . Please advise me what version of acrobat reader is compatible with Windows Vista.

    Is this a one-off or a general problem? If a one-off, is it a link to a web page or something else? If not a web page, try control-clicking on it and choosing to download the linked file. This will at least access the file though it might be to something you don't have an application to open with. If you do this, what sort of file do you get? - select it and hit command-i to get information on it.

  • How to Get the value when clicking on the link

    I had a problem with when clicking on the link.
    I need get the link value to the controller when clicking on the link.

    I am displaying the data like this:
    RED
    BLUE
    GREEN
    these are three links.when clicking on the link RED. RED should go to the controller.
    After getting RED to the controller i will get the RED value from the database.

    my requirement is like that only
    I have just given the example of emp and dept
    emp(empno,zone_group_id,zone_id,deptno,ename,emp_p_ind,last_update_datetime);
    dept_emp(empno,dept_no,loc,dname,sal_emp,grade,last_update_datetime);
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emp_zone AS
    SELECT e.empno,
          (select zone_group_id from price_zone_group where rownum = 1) zone_group_id,
           d.loc zone_id,
