Clicking a link on a web page is taking me to an advertising site not the page it should go to.

When I click a link on a web page it will take me to an advertising page not the page it should take me to. This is only happening with firefox not the other browsers I use. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and this did not solve the problem.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks OldFox
Downloaded one of the listed antimalware software and ran it. It seems to be working ok now.
Thanks for your help.

When i click a link on any web page mozilla opens a new window instead of opening the link on the opened window?

when clicking on any link on any webpage a new window opens.
Eg. On the bbc home page if you click "news" a new window opens instead of going to the news page of the web.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0. When I open Safari to a blank page, a small "Settings" icon appears against the white background. When I click on it, it opens a link to a web page that is not among my other bookmarks. How can I get rid of it?

Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.
For checking other extensions that may cause this, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Is this any link in any page, or one particular link in a particular page?

Firefox froze up. So I removed from computer and reloaded. If I close Firefox, can't restart by clicking on the icon. Have to end process in Task Manager. It then starts. Some links on some web pages won't work.

Hi,
As I say in the question I don't know what happened but Firefox just stopped operating and then became erratic. So I removed the firefox programme from my computer and reloaded Firefox.
It now runs normally but I can't run Firefox on two tabs, only one, and if I close it down during a session I can't reopen it using the desk top icon. I go to task manager, processes, and end process for Firefox - then I can start it using the icon on the desktop.
I have also noticed that some links on a web page won't work - javascript is involved.
Thanks for your herlp,
Mike FD

It sounds like you are getting in a hurry.
If you force Firefox to close in a hurry, then it won't normally start until you re-start the computer. There are ways around this, but I'm not going to go into them right now.
None-force way to close Firefox down: Close the program and wait. Do something else. Firefox appears as if it is closed, but it's not. Firefox cleans out cookies and it's cache after you close it. That takes a few minutes. You can't restart it while it's doing house cleaning.
After it is done, then you can restart Firefox normally. You can watch it in the Task Manager.
The same applies if you are installing javascript. You have to wait a few minutes.
As for running it with multiple tabs, I usually have 5 or 6, or more, tabs open at a time. Have no idea what the problem is there. Firefox needs special permission by use of a pop-up option to close with multiple tabs open.

Adding a link to a web page

Hi,
I'm trying to add a link to a web page to my project, but the url appears as regular text in the project and in the preview.
I've tried to search the cp help, the forum and the knowledge base for a way to do it, and didn't find anything.
Is it possible that this function does not exist?
Thanks,
Keren

Hi there
Typically you simply format the text in a Text Caption so it has the Blue and Underlined bit like a link would. Then you layer a Click Box over it to perform the linking.
Cheers... Rick

When ever link any link on a web page many popups are opening. I don't get popups or adds when I use chrome or IE. Really frustrated with Firefox.

Fire fox current version very frustrating and allows losts of ads and popups. When ever I click on any link from a web page ( any web page) i get a pop ups from ads like jabong, etc. I use the url of the same web page in chrome or IE I do not get such popups. It also crashes often.
The only way to get rid of this is to get use to Chrome or some other browser.

vksh89, What Extensions do you have installed as there are a few that can insert ad links on pages for example.
Also if Firefox is your default browser something on computer may be targeting it.

Creating Links for other Web pages within Flash C23

Hello Everyone,
First of all, I'm sure you're tired of answering the
questions regarding "Links". Although, I'm having a very
difficult time with this issue. I just purchased Flash C23,
taken all the tutorials from www.lynda.com, but
I do not find answers for linking one web page to another
within Flash C23. I have read all the answers
on this forum and still can not get my buttons to link up to
my other web pages.
I have figured out how to create the buttons, although, I'm
not doing something right when I try to link up my web
pages. You have to realize I'm coming from Adobe Golive (no
need for codes or scripts). I do not want to stop
using Flash... Can someone help?
Thank you so much, it's appreciated.

replace 'siteName' with whatever you use to target your site
in a browser. 'FranchelleDesigns' is what you named your page in
GoLive.
function loadPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.siteName.com/FranchelleDesigns.html");
navigateToURL(myURL,"_blank");
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPage);
EX: my website is
http://www.damonedwards.net
lets say I create some HTML page that I want to link to, and I save
it as, ContactMe.html... this is what I would use in flash to link
to it
function loadPage(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.damonedwards.net/ContactMe.html");
navigateToURL(myURL,"_blank");
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPage);

PDF links in IE7 web page open small

When trying to open a link on a web page I click the button "view" and the PDF page opens small.
In the past, using earlier versions of Adobe Reader, I did not have this problem of the PDF page opening small.
I drag the page to full size, but it does not save in the full size.
I have tried everything recommended on MS tech support pages to save the page full, but none of the solutions work for the PDF page.
I have repaired and re-installed Adobe Reader but the PDF page still opens small.
I am running under Vista Home Premium 64bit IE7
Thanks for any help you can offer to make the PDF page open full when clicking the "view" button

Hi,
Try this hotfix and check after rebooting the machine:

HT2506 In pages how can I link text within the document? I can find a bookmark option and links only allows me to link to a web page

Hi all,
This is my first time using this discussion site! Any help would be great, as I am getting very frustrated with pages!
What I am trying to do is link text at the bottom of a document to a page at the beginning of the document. I can't find a bookmark option adn when I clink insert link it only provides an options to link to a web page. Help! thanks

Bookmarks are missing (sadly) and with them, the ability to create an in document link.
I was looking for this feature in a Table of Contents. When you assign a 'style' to text in a document, you can Insert > Table of Contents. Then Pages will keep the TOC updated and you'll be able to 'link' from the page number in the TOC. (Not much help though, for the OP)

When you create a link to a web page in numbers and we export the PDF file, the link is offset by 3 rows. Example: if I put a link on the text in cell A1, I found the link A4. In fact, this feature becomes unusable. How can we solve this problem? Thank yo

When you create a link to a web page in numbers "Mavericks" and we export the PDF file, the link is offset by 3 rows. Example: if I put a link on the text (with Cmd-K) in cell A1, I found the link A4. In fact, this feature becomes unusable. How can we solve this problem?
Thank you.

Hi again Raja!
I did as you recommended and installed HTTPWatch and below is the outcome of that program. It is the exact string with the only exception of obfuscated servernames and portnumbers. The last part that begins with "sap_ep_baseurl=" makes me suspicious, is that part really correct? It looks like it's lacking things.
Best regards
Benny
