Click url links from email (thunderbird) don't work.

click url links embedded in email don't work. I tried the "fix" to go to thunderbird (email account) and follow tools-options-...but when I got to "advanced" it would not click. Clearing the "cache" seems to be important, but I'm not even sure that's the problem. It started to develop after I upgraded some add-on movie-audio feature to firefox. So, I suspect there is some incompatibility there. Please help.

Since posting, I figured it out with a google search - to simply find a way to identify firefox as my "Default browser" - apparently, any time you update windows or do add-ons from Bill Gates, he makes your computer take IE the default browser - so the clicking doesn't work from email on firefox. So, I went into the control panel for "default programs" and clicked again to make Firefox the one, re-booted and everything works fine now. I suspect that many people will find this approach very helpful when they get frustrated with the same problem. Thanks google!

I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't Work.

I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't work. When I called apple support she said to hard boot by holding off and home keys and restart. However this is only since the new release of the operating system, it happens ever day and it's getting OLD.. Any solutions?

Yes, almost daily since the iOS update. Is there a permanent solution. And does the hard reboot hurt the iPad?

Links from My Yahoo don't work

Links from my My Yahoo page are popping up a 403 Forbidden page. I've confirmed the links work in Explorer. Most of my links are RSS feeds, and I get this error:

Video Freezes in Firefox. Also links from email don't work(404) (same link works in chrome)

Most videos freeze after 5-15 seconds if the mouse is not hovering (and moving) in the video window.
Also many sort URL links from email (Open in new Tab) fail with 404 error. Videos don't freeze and same links work fine in Chrome.
Searched problem using Google and followed several pieces of advice -- same problem.
Removed all add-ons and extensions - same problem.
Removed Firefox 24, Reinstalled using latest version 25 (import nothing) -- same problem
Replaced Firefox with version 22 and it seems to be working fine.

How to execute a APEX process on click of link from a email message

I have a download procedure which will ask user wheather to save or open a file. This procedure uses standard "owa_util.mime_header","htp.p('Content-length" commands do do this. The procedure works fine. I'm sending a mail to user where this procedure is link to save or open a file. But for security reasons, I don't want to embed this procedure in the email, instead I want to redirect to APEX page. In the APEX page, I have put the procedure code in "onSubmit" process and it workd fine on clink of button. But I want to execute this process "Onload", so that user doesn't have click a button, all the user does click the link in email which will go to APEX page and ask wheather to save or open a file. any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Surya

Hi
Perhaps you could use an on-demand application process instead - you can specify these in the URL.
The URL syntax (for your link) would be like...
f?p=application_id:page_id:session:APPLICATION_PROCESS=process_idIs this what you mean?
Cheers
Ben

Barney,
I have four groups.
I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
Invalid Address
"<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address. Do you want to send it anyway?
I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.

Links from emails in MacMail no longer open sites on Firefox

Since updating Firefox, links from emails in MacMail no longer open sites on Firefox; I click on them, it goes to Firefox, but no page opens. Is this a problem caused by the latest security upgrade to Firefox? It happened immediately after I downloaded it. I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.6.

The irony that you sent me an email to confirm my post...by clicking a link... is not lost on me.

After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!
:o)

I can't always click on links in email to get to Firefox.

Firefox suddenly doesn't respond when I click on links in emails. The problem is sporadic, as sometimes it works fines. Sometimes I can solve it by double-clicking, sometimes not. Sometimes I can fix it temporarily by closing and restarting Firefox, but the fix only lasts a short time and I'm back to square one. I'm using Firefox 32.0 on a Mac using OS10.6.8.
I already tried making another browser my default browser, then switching back. Please advise. Thanks!

Do you only get this problem when Firefox isn't running or also when Firefox isn't running?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
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 files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

#Site.URL# link in emails

#Site.URL# link in emails
Hi - we have a new link for newScale for Request Center and it is https instead of http. Now when we add a link to an email to the request center, it changes the https link back to the http link which doesn't work. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks Tylor - that didn't work. Here's what I'm putting in -
<A href="https://our site url" target="_blank">OnlineServiceCatalog</A>
and this is what it changes to - which errs out when user clicks on link in email.
<A href="#Site.URL#application.do" target=_blank>OnlineServiceCatalog</A>
The #Site.URL# is standard in newScale and we know that it must live somewhere in the code, but we can't seem to find it to change it so

In Three20, Clicking URL Link on TTStyledTextLabel doesn't push a new page

hey. When I am clicking URL link on TTStyleTextLabel, it doesn't push a new page. But when I looked at the TTCatalog, they don't have any method in the styledtexttestcontroller which seem to open up the webpage. So how does TTCatalog do that? How can I do that?

problem solved!
you just gotta link the TTWebController with the object using TTMap

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?

Zzxc: Links from email and web pages

When I click on an email link - Firefox opens two browser windows - My homepage AND the page relating to the link. Tried setting up DNS and that hasn't helped. This problem began with version 3.6 and none of the subsequent updates have addressed the problem.
== Operating system ==
OS 10.5.8

The suggestion to change the DNS server was to address the problem with "Server not found" appearing part of the time. Is this still happening?
Both tabs opening when clicking a link from e-mail is a known problem in Firefox 3.6.x versions. It has already been reported - and is currently targeted to be fixed in the next major version of Firefox (4.0).
