Bookmarks no longer open with left click

I'm not sure what's going on. If I hover over my bookmarks, they do show the correct URL in the lower left corner, but clicking them results in no action. It just returns to the browsing window.
If I right click them and "Open in a new tab" or "open in a new window" those functions work fine. Not sure what's happened here. In the Windows 7 environment, my clicking properties have not changed from normal.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Links will no longer open with "ctrl + click".

I think the title explains it all. I can no longer open links in a new tab by "ctrl + left clicking" them. As someone who has a lot of tabs up a lot of the time, this is horribly inconvenient.

Actually if you use the Greasemonkey extension also then that could be the problem as there is a issue with the two extensions if you are using the Greasemonkey 0.9.1'''0''' version as you may have gotten a recent Greasemonkey update.
An update to Greasemonkey 0.9.11 should fix it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/

Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

Is there a way to disable files opening with one-click?

This is driving me crazy! I thought previously the problem was "magic mouse" but now that I've gone back to my old mouse, the problem persists. If I select a file in a finder window, it opens with one click. Also, if I try to edit a file name or even the question I've written above, I can't just insert the cursor and replace 1 letter. It picks the whole word, then the whole sentence. I never had this trouble before updating to the lastest and "greatest" snow leopard.

Are you using a wired mouse, if you are then go to sys prefs/mouse and change the double click speed.

Events will not open with double click/double click not working.

Have just upgraded to iPhoto'11 and finding it a pain to use after previous iPhoto. Events will not open with double click (even though highlighted in yellow) and photos will not open with double click or videos play. How can we fix this please?

That sounds very like an issue with your mouse/trackpad and not iPhoto. Go to your SystemPreferences and chck the speed you've set for double clicking

Files get open with single click sometimes

I recently started having this problem. When I browse through different image/video files, some of the files get open with one click only. This is really very annoying. I am event thinking to migrate back to Windows because of this problem.
How to reproduce the issue:
-> Open a folder that contains many images/video files
-> Click on anyone of them to select it
-> Now click outside the window. So, the finder goes out of the focus (but should stay visible)
-> Now, inside finder click any other image/video just once, it will open up automatically with just single click

If you have access to a mouse, try using it. If everything is okay using the mouse, then it is likely trackpad related. Other troubleshooting.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

InDesign files won't open with double click

InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

Nothing will open with double click

Help! Our iMac seems to work OK, except that nothing will open with a double-click in Finder. It is not the mouse, which works fine. I rebuilt the directory with DiskWarrior, but that did not help. What is weird is that things do open with double-click soon after you reboot it. But after a day or so, it stops working. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Carlos

Hi Carlos!
It maybe your Mouse or your Mouse Preferences are getting lost somewhere. What type of Mouse do your have? When you lose the ability to double click, can you still right click and see the menu dialog? If so, try to open your file this way, if nothing happens when you right click try the next step below...
You should check: System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse... from here make sure you right (secondary) button is activated and double click speed is not too fast or slow.
Let us know, good luck, Rick

How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
Then link to this using the url "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
My user name is "wayne"
so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

Photoshop cs3 displays long 'open with' name

Photoshop works fine, this is merely a cosmetic change.
But, if I right click a file and choose "open with", photoshop displays an unusually long name. "Adobe Photoshop CS3 (10.0 (10.0x2...480 2007/03/21:16:39:00 cutoff; m branch]))"
The rest of the CS3 suit is working (and displaying) fine.
I had the CS2 suit installed previous to CS3 and have left the CS2 installation alone (I did not delete it) Oddly, photoshop cs2 is also having the same problem. Though both versions of illustrator display fine.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Ryan

That is how it is if you right/Control click in the Finder; but you won't see the long name if you open the files from within Bridge.
There is a Haxie that can get round this if it really worries you.
It has been discussed here previously and if you run a Search for this Forum it might show up.

Hi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there...

CS2 files won't open with double clicking

Not sure what's going on here but my InDesign CS2 files don't see the InDesign application as the default. I have right-clicked and gone to "Open with ..." but get this, InDesign CS2 isn't in the application list.
OK, so I Browse to the application - no problems there, but when I select InDesign.exe and click "OK" .... it still doesn't appear in the list.
The only thing I have done recently is uninstall our old version of InDesign CS which was no longer being used.
Any ideas ? I'm stumped.

Thanks for the suggestion Mike - I ran a registry cleanup as you suggest - found a few problems as well ! However, no joy with the file association. InDesign still doesn't appear in the options list and when I browse to:
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe
and select InDesign.exe, the application still doesn't appear in the list !
Any other ideas ?

Acrobat 9 fails to open with single click.

facts:
Bridge created: the pdf that fails is PDF 9, PDF Producer: PDF Library 9.0, PDF version 1.6, 448 kb, [a single page thumbnail creation by Adobe bridge] opens with acrobat 9.0, application = empty
windows Access created: pdf that works with single click: size = 13.1 mbytes, PDF producer = distiller 9. [created inside windows office access 2000], pdf version = 1.5, application = acrobat pdf maker 9.0 for access.
Now for the annoying parts
move both PDFs to their own folders. single click both, the one created by access opens. the one created by bridge doesn't, Buuutt it does stick an adobe pdf in the task manager showing adobe pdf IS open because of the mouse click, but it doesn't open the file, kill the adobe task. Also this one created by bridge, I insert the image into access, and access opens it just fine to my annoyance. I have to immediately close it in acrobat to do anything with the access page I've just imported the image into.
create shortcuts on the desktop, and they both open from the shortcuts with a single click.
Oh yeah the bridge one opens if I right click, and choose to open with acrobat 9 at the very top of the right click menu.
What's going on here ? And how do I get the bridge file to open with a single click and not making it a shortcut ?

I received the same error today. It's been working for weeks. At the moment I am working on Windows 8 Consumer Preview with Office 2013 installed on an x64 platform, however that hasn't bothered it since it was installed. However, today I received an Adobe Update, I don't even remember what products were being updated, the update screen popped up, downloaded, installed, the progress bar got to 100% and said 2 seconds remaining and then the module crashed. The cloud activation hasn't worked since. I first get a message that says "We are unable to activate CS6 Creative Cloud Membership Subscription Edition", below that it says, "Product Activation is required to use this product" and below that it says "You must have an active internet connection to activate this product. Please check your connection settings and choose try again." When you click on Try Again, it sends up a new message box that says "Activation Failure". Needless to say I have an active connection. Even though it always worked before, I added Adobe Application Manager to the Windows 8 firewall exceptions list, still no dice. I've rebooted the computer twice.
Update: Turned out this followed another defect identified earlier. It is peculiar to Acrobat X. If you open a different application in the suite, login if asked, then close the application, Acrobat will function again normally.

Address bar suggestion drop down no longer accepts a left click to auto complete and goto url, instead left click is forcing a generic search.

Using firefox 31.0, following update I seem to no longer be able to left click a suggested url for it to auto-complete and GOTO...
I am happy to recheck all about:config again, as part of getting to the route of this "issue", ..
In fact I will try anything, I have tried a fresh install of firefox, this has not worked, however the "feature" I am trying to describe still works under safe mode, which means I think that there has to be something that is incorrect in my config.
Thank you all in advance for any pointers tips... and possible resolve offered.

Hi ScoobTheNoob,
I am bad a rhyming, but Safe Mode essentially only disables add ons. I would disable them one by one to find the culprit.
