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.

How can I open websites that use adobe flash ?

How can I open websites that use adobe flash ?

The website should open, but the Adobe Flash will not work as there's no Flash plug-in for mobile Safari.
After some failed attempts by Adobe to work out Flash for iPad, Apple decided to forgo it, and Steve Jobs published a famous letter on the reasons why Apple would not be supporting Flash on iPad.
The fall, Adobe announced that they were abandoning Flash on all mobile platforms, including Android, and they have deprecated the use of Flash as a plug-in on Desktop platforms. Flash will be moving to become a platform for development of cross-platform desktop applications and HTML5 will replace it for web and mobile purposes.
Web sites that still use Flash will slowly move away from the technology in the next few months. Most web sites that expected traffic from mobile device users have already moved away from using Flash.

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!

Links that use Javascript don't work after I updated Java; can I revert to earlier version?

I use private messaging to communicate with my doctor. I've always clicked a link ("Private Messaging") which opened a Java (Javascript?) window that displayed my messages and allowed me to write a message. A couple of days ago a message popped up saying that an update was available. I installed the update, now that link won't work. It is very important that I be able to access those messages, making this problem urgent. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!
(I did the Java check recommended on the Mozilla website, and it shows that Java is working and up to date)

You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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 > Firefox uses the about: protocol to access built-in about: pages that you can open via the location bar just like you open web pages.

I can't open anything that uses flash player in Firefox, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and no luck! but flash works fine on my seamonkey browser, can anyone please HELP me?

None of the flash games will work on FF, I have even uninstalled FF and reinstalled it, I have disabled QuickTime, I have uninstalled Adobe flash and reinstalled it and still NOTHING! Flash works fine on Seamonkey though

Check that plugin scanning is turned on (it should be by default). If it is turned off Firefox will not search the Windows registry for details of plugins that it can use.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''plugin.scan.plid.all''', if the value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change it to '''true'''
If it was set to false, re-start Firefox to see if the Flash plugin is now available.
Also make sure that you have installed the version of Flash used by Firefox. You should have it because SeaMonkey is using it, but if the Flash plugin is in SeaMonkey's own plugins folder Firefox may not be able to see it.
Download the latest plugin from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_10.2_for_Windows_-_Other_Browsers and run it to install the version of Flash used by Firefox, this will install it in the default location so that Firefox should be able to find it.

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: 
*http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html
You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.

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)

Can't open any windows in Safari even after re-install

I can't open any windows in Safari, even after installing Snow Leopard, not even the "About Safari" info window. I'm using Firefox to get online. I can open the program itself, but can't do anything else. I'm suspicious that it may be a virus, because I'm getting some weird messages on restart, such as asking me if I want to use some wireless network I never heard of, and if I want to give somebody access to my Twitter account - very strange. My son was using a website when this happened.
Message was edited by: Alba17

Greetings,
I'm suspicious that it may be a virus
Not possible, since there are no viruses for Mac OS X. You should ask your son what site he was one and whether or not he downloaded and installed anything. And you should turn off wireless networking and delete any networks that you didn't specifically setup. Use Ethernet to connect to your modem/router for Internet access.
Are you sure that Twitter is asking to give somebody access to your account, or just authorize them to follow your tweets? I've never seen Twitter do the former for anyone, ever.

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

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
'''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.

Why does Firefox 35.0.1 crash regularly on many sites that use javascript image rotation?

Since the latest update to version 35, many sites that use javascript to manipulate images tend to crash firefox and make either the guilty tab or all of firefox close suddenly. (Firefox on Debian 7 Wheezy Linux, all updates current). I use firefox daily for web development and this regression bug is VERY annoying for my workflow. I understand you cannot take every situation into account. I do not have the time to investigate what has made Firefox less stable. I really hope you can fix this performance problem. If I can do anything concrete to help besides jumping into the code, let me know.

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.

You can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use the latest version of iphoto

you can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use latest version of iphoto. iphoto 11 is installed.

This is a message you got?
If so, as your post isn't clear, it may be a bogus message caused by a corrupt database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards
TD
