Can't open links from email

I'm using Firefox 29 on Win7x64. It's my default browser. Sometimes, when I try to open a web link from Outlook email or Yahoo email, the link does not open. Instead, Firefox opens a process every time that I click, but does not open the link or even a page. If I try to open another Firefox instance by clicking the shortcut, yet another process starts, but a page does not open. Safe mode does not help. The only resolution thus far is to close every process or reboot, and then re-install Firefox. This issue began in v29 or the one just before. I also have tried suggestions posted to the forum. Thanks!

I've tried this several times. It works for a while, but the issue recurs. Resting Firefox never is a good solution for any Firefox issue.

Open link from email now takes 60s after upgrade to 14.0.1

Firefox has been set as my default browser and so will open links from emails. In the past this happened pretty quickly providing I already had FF running. Now, after the 14.0.1 update, a new FF window opens (irritating but can live with that). Then there is a 60s wait before the page opens (a timeout somewhere?). It seems to be independent of the site visited (I checked with my own site among others as it is nice and simple). I also get the long delay if I ask the mailer to open the email in a browser (for messages containing HTML). The same sites open quickly if I simply type the URL on a run command line.
I'm running Windows XP sevice pack 3. My mailer is Pegasus 4.4.1 (admittedly a bit out of the mainstream!). Perhaps someone could suggest an additional test to narrow down and then hopefully solve the problem. I've had to make IE my default browser for now as I often use a browser for messages containing HTML.
TIA

Thanks, but safe mode does not alter the behaviour and I've only ever had the default theme.
The delay really is pretty much exactly 60s. Surely this is something timing out. Is that not an important clue?

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.
Vincent

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.

Won't Open link from email it gives me the option to open but does nothing when I click that open box. This is a new problem my phone never had trouble with this before.

When I try to open a link from an email it gives me a choice to open but when I choose open it won't! I used to be able to click right on a store or anything and it would open connect to the store. Very strange

Hi
It shows just 4 always as an option in the "open with" lsit. Also I haven't downloaded any apps for a while so why would it start now?
Do you know how I can estabilsh how many apps are counting toward this 10 and what they are?

Safari will not open link from email

When trying to open a link from an email in Postbox (3.0.11) Safari 8 (OS X 10.10) will open a new tab, but nothing else happens. The new tab remains blank and the address bar is blank. This occurs when Safari is set as the default browser.
When I set Chrome as my default browser, Chrome will open the same link without any issues.
Any ideas or is this an undocumented feature for the new Safari.

Uninstall SIMBL as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
          Application Support/SIMBL
          InputManagers/SIMBL
          LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
          LaunchAgents/net.infinite-labs.SIMBLEnablerForSandboxedApps.plist
          ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

Can't open links in email. Displays "blocked content, can't open".

When opening any link in my email account, it will not open. All links open in other browsers but not Firefox. No attachments, links or anything else within the emails can be opened. The message says that it can't open anything up because of a "blocked" content.

If the images are blocked click on the link to view them, if you consider it safe.
I expect the rest of the message provides additional information, along with the url of the url your on when you see the message.
Content my be blocked because you have some parental controls software installed

Open link from email

I use thunderbird, 3.1.10 and firefox 4.0.1 when I get an email that has a link in it they dont just open in Firefox from the email I have to copy paste it to get it going. I want to be able to open links directly from the email. Thanks

Thanks, but safe mode does not alter the behaviour and I've only ever had the default theme.

Cannot open links from email

I downloaded the new operating system to my iPad 4 and am having issues accessing links from my email, when I click on the link nothing happens. I noticed this problem yesterday

I appreciate all the help received and I have tried the suggestions and experimented further on my own as well. Here is some additional information about the problem.
I could remove the SD from my phone and open the pictures just fine with my MacBook/Preview. Furthermore, I noticed that the problem only happens when I mail my pics to my comcast.net email account. If I mail the pics to my yahoo.com email, my MacBook has no problem opening up the pics with Preview. Same success if I mail the pics to my GF email at io.com. So, by process of elimination, the problem may be with the way comcast.net handles my pics as email attachments.
I remain puzzled why.....

I have 37.0.2 verssion and still can't open links from my gmail. Please help.

After upgrading Firefox to the latest version 37.0.2 I can't open any hyperlinks neither from my gmail or other websites. Could you help me please?

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Can't open links in email

As of this morning, I am unable to open links in my email. The same is true when using the internet browser.
This has never been a problem.
I have a Blackberry Curve 9330 Smart phone, any suggestions??????

Hey,
Try a battery pull. Things usually start working better after pulling the battery and rebooting.

Can't open attachnents from email?

Downloaded a trial version of XI Pro. For some reason or fault I can't open attachments needed for work. Like planograms, newsletter, etc..

And what exactly? Does Acrobat not launch at all or what? you need to explain better and provide the necessary technical information. We don't know anything about your computer or your e-mail procedures for that matter.

Can't Open link in email

Got this error message when I tried to open a link in an email - "no associated application can be found." It used to function well previously =(

What happens if you log out and back in?
What happens if you safe boot?
Apparently this problem isn't unique to. Here's four other threads on the same problem:
web links don't work from Mail
links to browser don't work
Links in Mac Mail no longer work
Suddenly, links aren't clickable

How can I open links from mail in the background?

I receive a lot of digest emails with lots of links. I would like to be able to click all of the links in a given email, have Safari open those pages in the background, and then when I'm done selecting the links I can switch to Safari and read them all. It's a logical workflow for me: click all the links you want to read, THEN go read them.
But instead, every single time I click on a link it jumps to Safari, so I have to switch back to Mail, click on the next link (which again jumps to Safari), etc. NetNewsWire allows me to open all my links in the background so I can avoid all this switching back and forth--can Mail do the same thing?
Thanks in advance for any help ...
--Bill

You should be able to Command-click on the link in Mail and have it open in the background.

Can't open links from Messages anymore

I have just noticed that when I go to email messages in Messages that have a link in the message, it is no longer an active link that I can select on and go to it in my browser. I was able to do this before with, for example, responses from message boards. Not sure what changed?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!
