Can't open links that are supposed to pop up in another page.

Whenever I left click to open a link that is designed to open into another window, such as pdfs or just websites that are supposed top open in another window, the website opens up very briefly with the words about:blank, then it immediately closes.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

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

Since I updated I can't open anything that comes in a pop upwindow i.e. pdf or mail window. How can I solve or go back to the previous version - it worked just fine.

I am not sure what your problem is, can you give more details.
One possibility is you may be in full screen mode, for details on fixing that see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.
If you are missing various toolbar items, see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article.
If your problem is something else please give more details.

I have an iPhone 5S and I can't open photos that are emailed to me. It just says zip archive when I click on the jpg. Help?

I Have an iPhone 5S and I can't open photos that emailed to me. It just says Zip archive when I click on the JPG file to download it. Help?

whoever is emailing you the photos is sending them as a .zip file not a .jpg most likely because there is more than one photo. unfortunately iPhone does not have a .zip file reader so whoever is emailing the photos has to make sure they are not zip ing them and resend them as .jpg files. (usually gmail tries to convert several images into .zip files)

Can't open files that are downloaded

Hi,
I can't open up the files that are downloaded. When I try to open them up, they all say "the file may be corrupted". What's going on and how can I fix this?
Thank you

I am having trouble opening .dmg, .xls, and .ppt files. Most recently I tried to download a printer driver from the HP website that is a .dmg and it opened a window to save a binary file and saved as a Quicktime file. The .ppt file was a forward in an email and the .xls file was a file from another Mac. I have no idea why this is happening.

Can't open links that use Javascript even if Javascript enabled

I've tried to open links on a recruitment website but the ones that use javascript, or at least I assume they do as this appears at the bottom of the screen when i click on the link javascript:%20OpenWindow(350,402,%20'details.asp?dir=1&id=39649&type=O&checksum=df089b6b4eab6c4134db5582a6d77a31',%20'Update',%20'True'); but nothing happens. Direct links to another website work ok. i'm having no problems with this when using internet explorer.
many thanks.

I went to the web site. No problem loading.

I can open Firefox v4.0b4 no problem, and I can bring up links that are on the google page and pages that are bookmarked, but when I enter a web address in the address bar and either hit "enter" or click on the blue arrow nothing happens.

I have an Apple Powerbook G4 with Mac OS X v10.5.8. I downloaded the new Firefox to replace an older version (v2.0, I think). When I try to go to websites via the address bar, I don't get any errors and nothing appears to be loading.

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

Can IPhoto open pictures that are saved as Photoshop 7 files?

I have PhotoShop 7 and have a lot of photos that were saved in Photo Shop on Mac Classic system. Most of these are very large. 24MB to 56MB files. I upgraded to Mac 10.5.8 and now they will not open without a $700 upgrade from Photo Shop. I do not need to edit the photos. Only be able to use them. That means they need to be reduced in size to under 1MB. Will iPhoto open up these Photoshop pictures?

I am pretty sure that PSE will open more PSD's than iPhoto will. Someone was really pushing PSCS. As the first link I posted said, there are some PSD's that PSE won't open. But iPhoto won't open those, either.
I migrated from PS7 to PSE and never had a problem. But my files were relatively simple PSD's.
Don't take my word for it, download the free trial and try it.

When i open links in firefox (mac) it gets redirected to another page

when i click on a link (e.g. after preforming a google search) It opens to a new tab and it opens to a different page instead and I have to press the back button (sometimes repeatedly) to get to the desired link.

Today I think firefox automatically installed a new version and after that it said my adobe flash was old so I had to update that. Now I can't open links in a new window.

Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically. 
You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85 
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:

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

I don't know where to find my photos that are supposed to be stored on the "cloud". I don;t want to erase them until I can locate them.

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.

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. 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

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!

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.

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.
