Prob: Click link or tree branch, a dashed box remains around the link?

Problem does not occur when preview i-view. Can be seen in Internet Explorer in many areas throughout the portal when clicking on a tree item for example. Does not happen with Firefox.
Thanks ahead for any help,
Chris

As a side comment about your layout code, APDivs are going to come back and bite you in the butt. Better you find out now rather than later.

Purple box appearing around links in IE only.

I designed standard links from the index page to other pages. In Safari, they look fine, but in Internet Explorer there is a purple box that appears around the link once it is clicked. I cannot figure out why. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This thread has been moved to the Dreamweaver General Discussion forum.
If you're referring to an outline surrounding a text link, it's known as a focus rectangle. The purpose is to assist disabled people, who often use the keyboard to navigate websites, to identify which link has the focus, or has been clicked.
It is possible to remove it by creating the following CSS style rule in your style sheet:
a {
outline: none;
However, doing so makes your website less accessible to people with disabilities. Depending on the nature of the site and local laws in your country, this is often considered illegal under anti-discrimination law. A much better solution is to change the colour to one more in harmony with your site's colour scheme.
a:hover, a:active, a:focus {
outline-color: #CCC;
Since this is your first visit to the forum, welcome. Please take a few moments to read How to get help quickly. As well as posting in the correct forum, it's a good idea to provide a link to a page showing an example of your problem. It makes it much easier for others to offer relevant help.

Unwanted box appears around link

I have a vertical spry menu bar containing text that is linked to an anchor. At first it looks fine, but after I click on one link then a box witha dotted border appears around the linked text that my mouse is scrolling over. I have pasted my code below--does anyone see anything that would cause this or know of a fix? Thanks so much!

How do I add or delete a quick link from Firefox's home page.

How do I add or delete a quick link from Firefox's home page. I don't use most of the links and would like to add other quick links.

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).

Border around image links

What the heck is it with a blue border around image links in
CS3???? I discovered I can get rid of it by setting the border to 0
in properties but what a pain. I also noticed tables have a 1
border by default. I'm sure there is a place to change the default
but I can't find it.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
CJ

Sure. This set of stuff:
*zeroes out the margins and paddings
* guarantees a vertical scrollbar (so no jumping between
short and
long pages)
* establishes colours and fonts etc. for the tags I tend to
use
* gives me a way to float images left or right
* defines a tag that I can use to clear floats (the hr tag,
in this
case, since I never use an hr as a visual element: I always
define
borders when I need them)
* styles the form and form elements
I customize these to suit.

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.

Where can I find a reliable link for firefox 4 download?

Every link I find for firefox 4 ends up being 8 or above , I need a dependable link for firefox 4

The only Release Archived by FF are located here
*[http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Version Archive]
**But FF4 is not present
OldApps.com is pretty reliable
*[http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php?old_firefox=112 Firefox 4.0]
**But Its your change to take

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

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

When trying to send a link from firefox it opens quicktime player

when sending link from firefox it opens Quicktime Player, it opened Skitch before this??

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.

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.
