Clicking email link opens IE not firefox even though FF is my default browser?

I had no issues before, but after my recent auto update by FF i suddenly do not have my yahoo email within firefox open when clicking someones online email link. It instead opens yahoo in IE.
How do i make it stop this and open in FF?

Hi,
Please also try this: Windows Control Panel > '''Default Programs''' > '''Associate a file type or protocol with a program''' > look for '''.url''' > '''Change program''' to Firefox.
edit: You have to restart Outlook or sometimes reboot the system for the change to take effect. Thanks AUnderhill.

  • Links do not open in my firefox even though it is my default browser. Not all but many links. It was working fine. Maybe it is firefox 4 that is the problem.

    When I click on some links, it does not open them. It use to work just fine. I have tried everything to help this situation. Many people are complaining about firefox 4. Maybe this is a bug.

    Hello,
    I have checked all the above trouble shooting suggestions. I still am having the same problem.
    I use Firefox as my default browser and have it checked off as per your last email. I am only having this problem in my emails. I cannot open url links in my emails anymore by double clicking on the mouse. I have to right click the mouse and choose open in a new window. It will then open that url link and take me to the website link.
    If I try this by double clicking the url link, it takes me to a blank page with this "https://mail.go....er=ohh14rw8mbn4"
    at the top of the page in the tab.

  • I'm using outlook email, Firefox 11 and Windows 7 Home but email links do not open Firefox even though it's my default browser, Fix?

    My email links fail to open Firefox 11. They used to last week but IE updated and now links in my outlook emails do not open Firefox 11 even though it's my default browser. When I change to IE as the default the links open IE.
    Your assumptions about my browser, operating system and others are correct.
    VERY FRUSTRATING. HELP, Please

  • Netscape mail wont use firefox as default browser even though set up as default browser in firefox.

    I want to continue using Netscape Mail 7.2, but when I click on a web link I want it to use Firefox browser. I set Firefox as default browser in Firefox options, but it is not staying set when I look again. I don't know if Netscape is resetting it or what.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
    Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
    So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

  • When I click email links on firefox, it won't open my AOL email client to continue, I get "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix?

    When I click email links on firefox, it opens AOL, but comes up like this.. "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix? and yeah, I know, ditch AOL and all that good stuff, but I have so many things tied into my email address that it's not in the cards atm..
    Thanks!

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • Every time I click on a link from an email it opens two exact firefox browers.

    Every time I click on a link from my emails it opens two exact firefox browers to that link. Not two tabs, two browers. How can I prevent this from happening.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Clicking email-links doesn't open "new message" window

    Hi,
    When I click email links, safari doesn't take me to the "new message" window. It activates safari: the program comes on in the dock and the text next to the apple logo changes to "mail", but I don't get the "new message" window

    You're welcome. Glad to have helped.

  • Firefox insists on opening last page visited even though it's supposed to open on home page.

    Bad job guys, this is dumb, I am disappointed.
    I've followed instructions found in the following links with no luck:

    I deleted sessionstore.js it worked once but the issue re-occured afterwards. I don't have the file user.js.

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent Session Restore from reopening those tabs.
    Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
    You can leave the sessionstore.bak file with the time stamp appended that Firefox creates automatically in case of updating.
    There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
    If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

  • BB Curve 8350 quit email function. Can't load address for email setup..."blank entry not valid" even though info entered

    HELP!!  My BB quit sending/receiving emails 6 weeks ago.  I tried to do the setup again, but error message says "Blank entry not valid" even though the info has been entered (Email & password)   I tried to get help from Sprint but as they aren't supporting BB anymore, they just want me to upgrade. 
    I swapped devices this AM (8350 Black for 8350 Red) and the same issue on this device.  Any assistance is welcome!!!
    Thank you!

    If they cannot resolve your issue ask them to escalate your case to RIM. it is what they are SUPPOSED to do when they cannot resolve a BlackBerry issue. Whoever you have been on the phone with does not know what they are doing.
    This forum is not an official support channel but rather a peer-to-peer support forum community where other users just like yourself help each other out with their BlackBerry device.
    Some things can only be solved by RIM, however, and the only channel to their support is through your carrier.

    <Email Edited by Host>

    As these are public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support,  I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post - it's not a good idea to post it unless you like spam email.
    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - a rescue email address is not the same as an alternate/secondary email address, they are different addresses/settings on an account.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    Yes, it will be a problem. Convert the images in Photoshop using the printer's color profiles or a standard CMYK profile.
