Clicking links in emails in Thunderbird, Firefox disappears from view

When clicking links in emails in Thunderbird Firefox disappears from view along with its task bar button. Firefox is still open and works, if you know what you are clicking on and prevents other still visible windows being worked with as the mouse only "sees" the Firefox window invisible to human eye!

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

All emails in yahoo somehow disappeared from view. Unaware, I made some change.

My yahoo email was normal until the left vertical page bar came into view. I moved it all the way to left hiding inbox outbox, Trash etc.
Trying to correct this, I inadvertently clicked something unknown
that hid all my emails from view. The emails are still there, I just can't figure out what to do to bring them back visibly to my email page. Computer shows that I made a change, but doesn't tell me what change I made.

Most likely the now missing mail files were not in the PCV archive in the first place (for whatever reason).
I do not use MozBackup, but I believe a user can (or has to) choose what items are to be included in the backup.
You may look at the MozBackup support site for anymore details.

Unless you still find those missing mail files in another backup I'm afraid they are gone.

Error message when clicking link in Email

Hi, for the past day or two I have had a problem with clicking links in emails sent to me - mainly, I think, when confirming that I have signed up to a newsletter or forum, and needing to confirm my email address. This happens in Windows Mail, though I am sure I have been able to do it ok in the past. (I also use Internet Explorer 8 and can activate the links ok if I open the email in BT Yahoo Mail). So guess it is something to do with Windows Mail. The error message just says 'Application Not Found'..... can anyone help me get this sorted please? Thanks in advance!
NOTE: Have found the answer to this elsewhere. For anyone who needs to know, it is: Go to START button, select DEFAULT Programmes > Set Program Access and Computer Defaults. Make sure Microsoft (Windows Mail) is selected.

I randomly started getting this problem and fixed it by doing the following:
# Close both the Firefox and Outlook (2010) programs. Make sure the processes have exited.
# In Control Panel, go to "Default Programs".
# Go to "Set default programs" and set Firefox as default.
# Go back and then to "Set program access and computer defaults" and set Firefox and Outlook as your default browser and email program respectively.
# Restart Firefox and Outlook at the problem should hopefully be fixed.
If this doesn't do the job, then you may want to attempt the registry hack described [http://www.pcworld.com/article/200103/fix_outlook_general_failure_error_for_email_links.html here] here.

Firefox disappears from my dock and I have to copy it to my Apps folder each time I start up, and I am then prompted to install the latest version, but notification will not go beyond contacting server.

I have tried many of the suggested solutions from online communities, like uninstalling and reinstalling, but I still have the same problem - Firefox disappears from my dock, when I click on the 'question mark' in the dock to open it, I'm asked to copy to my Apps folder, which I have to do each time and replace old version. Then I'm prompted to install the latest version, but when I do this, it gets stuck on contacting server. Please help! I'm using Yosemite 10.10.

Do you have the current version of list.it (version 0.4.8.9.1)? This page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12737/ indicates it is compatible with all Firefox 3.6.* versions.
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions shows what version. If it is old, click "Find Updates" at the bottom of the Extensions window.

My library keeps disappearing from view when I open itunes

I recently bought a laptop and have transferred all my music from my old PC computer to my laptop. I have noticed that when I open itunes from time to time my library has disappeared from view. It's annoying as I have to keep bringing my library back in from my music folder, importing my playlists and then the podcasts have to be resubscribed. It also means I keep losing my play counts and history. It has happened about 4-5 times now. Then when I restore the library and I link my classic ipod to sync all the content has to be reloaded, which all takes time. Is there something silly that I have not done. I have been searching to see where I am going wrong and now about to lose the plot alltogether! My laptop is using Windows Vista, my PC was Windows XP. Any help much appreciated. I'm sure it's something simple!

"Reload" disappeared from "View" dropdown- asking again

Can't find my already-asked question posted on forum so I'm asking again: "Reload" option has disappeared from "View" drop-down in navbar. I have tried all of the following, as suggested by a contributor:
Restarting with Add-Ons Disabled
Restarting with "Reset" option
Disabling hardware acceleration
Completing entire troubleshooting protocol for add-ons & extensions
Nothing has restored the "Reload" option. The Add-Ons Manager tells me there are no extensions installed, so there's nothing I can follow to troubleshoot there.
What else can I do? If nothing, I'm switching to Safari for default browser. Don't want to as I've liked Firefox, but I use "Reload" a LOT and this situation is not sustainable for me.
Really stuck and really

If your talking about the reload button that Refreshes the page your on you can do one of two options
'''Reload the page using the shortcut:'''
Mac: Command+R
Windows: CTRL+R Or F5
Liunx: CTRL+R
'''Pressing the Reload Button'''
On the default Firefox Layout (no custom toolbars, Buttons, ECT, installed)
You can do so by pressing this button here(see pic):

What is your iTunes version?
If iTunes 11, have you checked the "Up Next" list? If it is not empty, try if clearing "UP Next" will help:

How do I set Mail to launch clicked links in Safari, rather than Firefox?

I have both Safari and Firefox installed on my computer. Safari is the default browser, but when I click a link on an email that I have received, Mail opens it in Firefox. This happens even if I have Safari open and Firefox closed. In that case, Mail opens Firefox and then displays the location of the link. I can't find an option in Mail settings, to set the default browser for clicked links to Safari.

Great news Matt, thanks.
Likely it was done when you installed Firefox, it asks if you want to make it the default browser.

The OE New Message box does not open when I click on an email address in Firefox. This is not a problem when I use MS Explorer. How can I fix it?

OE is set as my default email in both Firefox and Windows XP. When I click on an email address on a website within Firefox the OE page comes up but the OE New Message window does not open. When I go to the same webpage using MS Explorer and click on the same email the OE New message does open. Is there a bud in Firefox that prevents the OE New Message from opening? Is there a way I can fix it?

Firefox disappeared from my computer. New version incompatible. Want to download a version compatible with Mac OS 10.4.2 but can't find on Mozilla website. Please help.

This is not the first time that Firefox has disappeared from my computer; however, there was always a version on the mozilla site to download. I can't find one now but expect older versions are still available for download. Can you help me out?

Not unless they were saved somewhere on your computer. You can check the Time Machine if that storage has been used and wasn't reset as well.

How to open Viewer from other apps? - App 'URL Scheme' has disappeared from Viewer Builder!

Hello
The 'URL Scheme' option in the Viewer Builder did let me to specify a url that made other apps open my viewer. But this option has disappeared from the newer version of Viewer Builder. So. How do I do now to let other apps open my viewer?

Is there a spacial reason that the URL scheme option was taken away from ordinary Multi-issue viewers? It was there in earlier version. I'll explain our situation:
Our client want to publish corporate information; annual reports etc, with DPS. Not really magazines or newspapers you subscribe to.
We are making another app where they publish news articles, videos etc. In that app, we want to have a link which opens the viewer with their publications.
To make this simple thing work, we have to create a 'subscription' to content which is not relly good for subscribing (it is free and announced with push anyway). We also have to tell the client to create Privacy Policys etc for this. A lot of hassle for something we do not really want.
Any chance that this option will come back in v19?

Airport Express won't join network and disappears from view once configured

Hi. I am having trouble getting my brand new Airport Express to connect to my network. I would appreciate any help you can provide. Here are the details:
Computer: iMac, G5 running OS X Tiger.
Network: Cable modem hooked to a netgear wireless b/g router. The router is configured to use WEP 128 bit encryption. I have connectivity on the router throughout the house on several computers and handheld devices (iPhone, etc).
Airport Express Version: 5.3.1
My goal is to add the AE to my current network in order to stream music from iTunes to my receiver.
When I initially opened up the airtunes utility to set up the AE the setup program was able to find the AE and walk through the configuration process. I followed the steps, entered the correct network name, encryption algorithm, password, etc. When I completed setup and hit the update AE button the AE disappeared from the setup application and the device began to flash yellow. While troubleshooting I have reset the AE dozens of times over the past couple of days. I have done both the reset with power on (press reset for 10 seconds waiting for the quickflash) and the hard reset (plugging the AE in with the reset button depressed until the quickflash starts). In either case, the AE is rarely detected by the setup utility (about 1 in 10 times). When it is detected, I walk through the set up and get the same results. I have attempted configuration using both the manual configuration option and the automatic "wizard-like" method.
I have tried to configure the AE wirelessly with it plugged in next to the computer and using a direct hookup via ethernet cable. Both methods produce the same results - flashing yellow light with AE undetectable by any Airport applications.
I have also tried to load an older version of the firmware (5.3) on the AE. When I hit the update AE button after configuring the update to go from the current version to version 5.3 I get an error message stating that "an error occured while attempting to update."
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi guys,
I think I'm having the same problem as you all, and its driving me crazzzzy!. I added an AX to my existing network with a AEX all thru gigabyte switch, including the new AX. I set the brand new AX up with all the settings, hit update, all settings were configured and its working fine (i can see it in iTunes, stream music to it, all works fine) EXCEPT when i go to AU and try to go into the manual setting of the AX it just hangs, and after about 2 min, i get an error message:
"An error occurred while reading the configuration. Please make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6722)"
I have tried resetting it hard/soft/default but not sure if it really does reset it, still keeps same password, and network settings. Tried connecting it next to my existing AEX incase the AX is trying to communicate via WIFI instead of the hard wired ethernet. I'll try hard wiring it directly to my mac as some have had success.
I have tried using OX 10.5.3, but still misbehaves as b4 with OSX.4.11. So its not my mac setup.
I'll try to find the old firmwares as some have described, that might work....????
This seems a common problem to many, I hope that Steve & the Apple engineers have got these messages and are fixing the problem as we speak.

Links in email program (Thunderbird) open in seperate Firefox window instead of one open

If Firefox is open and I click on a link in Thunderbird it opens in a new Firefox window without any of my tabs open. In Firefox I have selected open new windows in a new tab. The new window only has the one tab in it. (The link address) If Foxfire is closed it will open into the main window with all my other tabs. In order to have any links open into the main Foxfire, I have to close Foxfire after viewing each link.

Quote: ''There is not a tab to tear off to the other window''
Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Always show the tab bar"

When I click links in emails, it will not open the link in my default browser (Firefox)
