Clicking on links in emails sent to me, does not open into my browser

Hi,
Hopefully I am just missing something, but when I click on a link from within an email sent to me it will GO to my browser, but not do anything else. It just goes to Firefox, but keeps the window I was already in, it doesn't change to the content of the link clicked. Does that make any sense?
I just got a new iMac about a month ago, I'm not sure if this was always a problem or it just started. I tried looking through the preferences and couldn't find anything. Any ideas??
TIA!!

Okay... don't laugh, but I just restarted Firefox and it's fine. I'm not sure why it was blocked.
Problem solved... for now LOL.
Thanks anyway.

  • Global Policy Link Does Not Open A New Browser Window

    Hi All,
    On 11.5.10.2 version
    Global Policy Link which is located at the top of most iExpenses pages is
    supposed to open a dynamic web page (Core policy manuals) on a new browser when
    someone clicks on it. Currently this link, when clicked on it, brings the
    correct page on the same browser.
    I need the page to be opened in new window.
    if not so, i need a alternate solution to open in new window
    Thanks in advance,
    Vali

    Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
    Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
    My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

    Hi wayner,
    Thank you for your question:
    In the Firefox > Options menu under Applications, search for "mailto". From there select the action drop down and select the action.
    If you click on the details of the action it should have https://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?To=%s
    This macro should take you to a compose mail if you are logged in.

  • Email sent from MacBookAir does not appear on iphone or other windows?

    Hi All,
    Just started using MackBook Air, love it. Can someone guide me please. When i send an email from MacBook Air, it does not appear in the "Sent" folder on the iphone or other computer?
    How can i fix this issue, so that whatever email i send using yahoo or etc, appears on all, ie MacBook Air, iphone, windows.
    Thanks

    That will happen under two conditions:
    You have an IMAP mail account, such as iCloud.
    You select the option to store sent messages on the server in the account settings.

  • When i click on a .ics file in mail it does not open

    When I receive a .ics file in email, when clicked it will not open. When held it will ask what program I want to use to open it with. I have sent myself a calendar request (.ics) and it comes in a different format to my email. With this I am abe to accept or decline the request.

    This didn't help, because unless I'm missing something, all this does is give me the option of where to download, not the option to open instead of downloading. I used to get a window that asked me "What should Firefox do with this file?" It gave me two options: 1) Open with ... and 2) Save file. Under that there is another box that says "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." When I clicked on that box, I thought I was telling it to open the files from now on, but apparently I was telling it to save the files from now on. In a nutshell, I want to get this window back that gives me the option of opening the file immediately or downloading it. I don't just want the option of where to download, as your solution seems to be. I can't believe that selecting "do this automatically from now on" is irrevocable. Please help! Thanks.

  • Pop-up allows first pop-up page and the second pop-up page (linked from the first one) but does not open the data in the second pop-up page.

    I want to print my online bank statement.
    Please see screen shots below.
    The webpage has a link that says:
    VIEW STATEMENT
    Click the link and a pop-up opens that warns you about downloading using a public-access computer or sharing a computer with others.
    If you want to continue click OKAY.
    When you click this link another pop-up appears (a pop-up within a pop-up)
    but it is blank.
    When the process used to work, the statement would appear.
    MacBook running OS X 10.6.8
    When I tried it with Safari everything worked as it should so the problem is not with the bank.
    I went back to Firefox (my preferred browser) and did the troubleshooting RESET.
    Nothing changed.
    In the Tools menu - Page Info - Permission - Open Pop-up Windows is set @ Default - Allow
    In Preference - Content - Block pop-up windows is unchecked
    or when it is checked the website is listed in the Allowed column.
    It is the correct url because when I clicked the yellow options bar to Allow it, FireFox automatically chose it.
    I also tried adding the extended url as it appears on the web page which has the first pop-up link.
    Firefox would not accept it.

    Screenshots:
    # Part of bank's webpage with the link to the first pop-up
    # The first pop-up page with link to the statement pop-up page.
    # The second pop-up page - blank where there should be the statement. The page appears but the data doesn't.

  • When I click on links in other applications (email is one) Firefox does not open it.

    If I click on a link in another application, such as one to the application's help service or a link in an email, it looks as if Firefox is trying to open a page or tab, but there is just a brief flash and nothing appears. This is a fairly recent phenomenon.

    closed firefox, then did yum reinstall firefox
    didn't help, same problem

  • HT5312 I have requested changing my security questions and to have an email sent, but it does not come.  I have reset my password also.  I cannot get to the rescue email section.  Help

    I initially did not set up the Apple Acct.  My husband did.  I don't know if he set up a rescue email or not but I need to reset my security questions.  Help

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • When I am browsing the page will freeze for no apparent reason. I lose all ability to go to a new page either by entering an address or by clicking a link on the page. This does not appear to happen on any particular web page.

    Go back to FF3.6:

    I did yesterday and have had no hangs today. I did NOT have to uninstall FF4.0, I just put 3.6 into a new directory.

  • ATT email in updated form does not open on Firefox - how can I return to classic or make the new version compatible with Firefox?

    Since I updated to the latest version of ATT email from the classic email version, I can't get Firefox to open the mail. And I can't find a link to go back to classic. I need to know if there is a change that I need to make in my Firefox settings to make it compatible or how to return to classic.

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # 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 '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

    If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name
