Can't open links in Skype, WLM nor saved HTML (Firefox won't respond)

"I can't open links in Skype chat windows when having a Firefox session running in the background, it just flashes the window borders. If i close Firefox and leftclick on the links Firefox automatically opens the link but not while having a session running in the background. Strange thing while having clicked the link and started a new Firefox session it opens the tabs as usual while clicking the links the next few times but closing Firefox again and restarting it and then click on links in Skype window, it doesn't respond. I have to bring the context menu and then choose copy adress."
I see there is no answer for the problem that guy have had and I have the same problem - links from skype and from windows live mail won't open and there's more - FF doesn't open html files that are saved to pc, even thou I just saved em, but when I click on em happens nothing and when I rightclick and choose open with FF happens nothing.
It worked for couple of weeks with no problem and suddenly today links just make skype flash exactly as in christianhbergs description and in windows live mail they are becoming purple but firefox doesn't react.
as soon as I make IE as my default - links are working, but not with firefox.
So I assume the problem is in firefox (not in skype or WLM nor in Win8)
(running Win8 and FF25.0)
And none of the solutions you gave us in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961242#answer-497345 work.

  • 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

  • I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

    I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Try to open a new window and see if that window works.

  • Can't open links in pdf file 9.3.2

    I have installed Reader 9.3.2 and all of the sudden I can't open links within a pdf file. I get a block message and it doesn't give me the option to choose Allow. When I go to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager > Settings everything is grayed out. I had to revert back to 9.3.1 for it to work again. Does anyone know the fix for this. Our 9.3.2 install was streamlined into a 9.3.0 msi package and then installed through a GPO.

    same problem here..  but I figured it out..  Believe it or not, if you just wait 5-10min it will come up.   I also "End-Task" on some exe that start or had "3D"in the name and after that adobe would come up fast when opening pdf's. Think you need to disable some of the internet related items under preferences.

    I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera.  I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter.  I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong?  Thanks!

    This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
    …Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs.  [emphasis added]

    Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically.<br />
    You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85<br />
    If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)
    Flash Global Notifications Settings Panel:<br />

    You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.

  • Gnome-Terminal can't open links anymore

    Hey
    I'm using Awesome as "DE" and gnome-terminal as my default terminal.
    The Problem is that I can't open links in gnome-terminal anymore (through right click->open link). I get the Error:
    Could not open the address "$Link"
    Operation not supported
    In the "gnome-default-applications-properties" I set "Custom" and used "chromium" as command.
    Does somebody maybe know what the problem could be or at least where I can get a bit more error logs?
    greetings
    vIiRuS

    What is the output when you run 'x-www-browser' in a console?  It *should* work as I just had to investigate the very same issue this past weekend and it cleared up the problem for me.
    Edit: Oh wait, I just re-read your first post...instead of right-clicking, try control+click.  That's what I use.

  • Can't open  links/hyperlinks in my mails....

    Maybe its not the right forum, but I havn't been able to find help elsewhere. I'm using Outlook for Mac 2011 but can't open  links/hyperlinks in my mails. The cursor turns into a hand as expected, but nothing happens when I try to activate the link. My default browser is Safari. Please help if anyone can..

    Hi janjkp,
    I don't use Outlook so I cannot test anything here.
    Is Outlook the only application that this occurs?
    If it is only Outlook, I would suggest that its a setting or bug in Outlook causing the issue.
    Instead of just clicking on the link, try Command (or right) Click and see if there is an 'Open Link' or 'Open URL' selection in the contextual menu.
    If you can open the link that way, see if there is a setting in the preferences in Outlook that stops links being opened.
    Hope this helps

  • [Solved] Thunderbird can't open link in Firefox after update

    Today there were updates for Thunderbird and Firefox (and a few other). After that Thunderbird can't open links with Firefox. If I click on a link nothing happen. I started Thunderbird from terminal, and when I clicked on a link I got this message:
    ** (thunderbird-bin:6130): WARNING **: Could not launch default application for URI: Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/firefox-7.0/firefox" (No such file or directory)
    I checked /usr/lib and the folder for Firefox was directly under it, no folder "firefox-version" in between. I guess one must change the path somewhere for Thunderbird to find Firefox. Where to change that? I have looked both in the menus in Thunderbird, and in the Thunderbird folders in my home and in /usr/lib, but I  don't see the path to Firefox anywhere.

  • Can't open links/drop screens.

    There are a number of sites that I can't open links, or drop screens on. Bodybuilding.com, and watchseries.it are two examples. BB.com I tried to sign up for a competition, and it did not register the submit button at all. Watchseries I tried to click show all links, and it wouldn't. It will however allow me to click other links. I tried removing Firefox, and reinstalling it to no avail.

    Hi JZeroX ,
    Sorry to bother you after your Firefox problem has been resolved, but I am wondering if you would be able to help us.
    Could you first of all search on the computer for all copies of the following files.
    # nptnt2.dll
    # libinject2.dll,
    # libredir2.dll
    The first file does appear to have been on your computer. Possibly you will also have the other two.
    Search Tips
    * These instructions may help http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    * Also note Windows often hides the last part of at least some file names you may need to set Windows to show the full file name. The part of the file name after the last dot is often referred to as the file extension. <br /> See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions#show-hide-file-name-extensions=windows-7
    ''guigs2'' from the Firefox HelpDesk will probably be following up on this post, but being paid staff is only available in working hours.
    For now please try to find the files but do not take any other action, as you appear to have the file disabled, and we an not be certain yet that it is a bad copy.
    Perhaps you could post back to say whether you are able to search for these files and whether or not you have found them.
    Thanks in advance, John
    '''Background Information'''
    You seem to have a file installed that apparently is malware and Firefox engineers are trying to get hold of a copy of the file. They can study it to confirm it is bad,then pass the information on to the sites that detect malware.

  • When I try to install Firefox, I get a "can not open output file" error. I was using Firefox before and it stopped working, so I uninstalled. Cannot re-install now.

    When I try to install Firefox, I get a "can not open output file" error. I was using Firefox before and it stopped working, so I uninstalled. Cannot re-install now.

    When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
    When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
    If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
    Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

  • You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014" because it is not responding.

    For some reason InDesign has decided to stop responding. Acts like it wants to launch but then does nothing. When I try to launch it from the Finder rather than the Dock, I receive this message:
    You can’t open the application “Adobe InDesign CC 2014” because it is not responding.
    Please advise.

    Wild guess here, but the installers are known to fail to set the correct permissions on the preference folders. See Cant launch new inDesign CC | Adobe Community  and substitute Version 10 where you see Version 9.
