Downloads from Emails will not open

I am running FF 17.0.1 on a Sony Vaio laptop with an Intel P7350 running Windows 7 Home Premium. I use Yahoo for my email client and until recently when I received an email with a PDF attachment I could save, or open the attachments. Recently, like a week ago, when I get an email with an attachment I can't do anything with it. If I save it and then try to open from the "download page" nothing happens. If I search for the attachment using the "search for programs or files" dialog box I can find a shortcut to the file but when I click on it it tells me it can't find it. And all I see are references to the shortcut and not the file itself. I have set the Application "Adobe Acrobat Document" to all the different possibilities and they all behave the same. If I switch users and open FF a different user everything works fine and it appears that the FF settings are the same. I can also use MS IExporer and everything works fine. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hi srf058,
have you tried to create new "clean" FF profile (using parameter -p) and tried to open it from there?
Also when the download dialog appears (you may as well invoke it by ctrl+j) you can right click the downloaded file and choose to show the target destination. When it is opened in file browser, does the file open from there?

  • Links from email will not open in firefox

    When I click on a link in my email it takes me to firefox but nothing opens. It opens with no problems when going from gmail.
    Thank you.

    I am having the same problem - remedies attempted - check FFx is default browser (yes), software update and computer restart, reboot Mail * 4, check all Mail settings for options (none I can see ), check all FFx settings for same (none I can see), no result, look in here and see that other folks having same issue - will Apple respond (I will book a support session by phone as I have applecare. Mail also used to mark mails as read once I had selected them - now it insists that I double click and open them before it changes the marking - pain in the butt ...

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1. My  photos from iPhoto will not open in camera raw

    I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1 in my iMac. My raw photo files from iPhoto will not open in camera raw. The elements screen opens without a photo, but camera raw willnot open. Help.

    You need to tell iphoto to send raw files out of iphoto or it will make its own conversion and send a pre-converted file. Go to the iphoto preferences>advanced and turn on this checkbox:

  • I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

    I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

    You're welcome. 
    But, no, don't look to  Epson for fixes to their  driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in.  Hoping for a solution there is futile.  That has not happened and it's never going to happen.  The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan.  Honestly.
    Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
    You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever.  When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software.  If you think about it, its most inefficient.
    VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist.  VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
    As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue.  Sorry. 

  • Links from emails do not open in Firefox

    Recently when I click on a link (usually from an email), it will not open in Firefox. Although I am taken to Firefox, the new link doesn't open, instead I just see the windows that were already open. This was working before. I reinstalled Firefox which seemed to fix the problem for a week or so, but now it's not working again.
    I checked and Firefox is set as the default browser, and there are no security problems in the error report. I am running version 3.6.12 on a MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard

    some say its to do with uninstalling chrome which i have just done.. there is no simple fix to it... well depends how computer literate you are i suppose... some suggest reinstalling chrome in order to resolve it.. i am not sure that i wouldnt make matters worse if i tried to fix it. see:

  • I recently upgraded my Mac to OS 10.6.5. Now the links in my incoming emails will not open in Firefox, but they will in Safari. What do I do?

    there is nothing more to add.... links from a wide variety of sources simply do not open up firefox and open the website like they used to. I can copy the links and paste them into firefox and they will open.

    this answer does not help at all. It tells me how to change my mail client for outgoing mail. I use iCal from mac, which is the default mail program, and it works well for me. The problem is with INCOMING mail that contains clickable links that will not open the page in firefox. When I click them nothing happens. iCal and Firefox used to play together just fine; now firefox doesn't answer when I click a link sent to me and received in my iCal.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Photoshop from LR will not open

    When I am in LR and want to edit using photoshop the program will not open directly. In LR, I click on the photo, choose "edit in photoshop", a pop up box opens asking me to choose what to open. I click "edit a copy with LR adjustments and then PS does not open. Any suggestions?

    I was also having this issue, and I did some more searching and found this answer in the Adobe forums: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back.... The issue appears to be caused by having not updated Lightroom to the latest version prior to having CC2014 installed (wow that's stupid). The trick seems to be to uninstall Photoshop CC2014 and to then reinstall it after having upgraded to Lightroom 5.5.

  • Downloaded iTunes 10 - Will not open

    Hello everyone - This is my first time posting here, but I am at an impass and need some help.
    I upgraded to itunes 10 and now it will not open. I have removed all other itunes files and quick time and loaded it again, still nothing. I have done all of the suggested fixes for this, and it still will not work. I tried loading itunes 9.2 and it will not work because it says that the library was created using a newer version of itunes. So, I removed everything and tried to load itunes 10 again, same deal. It loads fine, but when you click on the icon on the desktop, nothing happens. I called microsoft and they said that they suggest oly using upto iTunes 7.6! What should I do now??? -Harry

  • New Downloads of Firefox will not open

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    Just downloaded 19.0.2 and still getting an error message when I try to open:
    PROFILE MISSING "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
    I tried the terminal utility "profile manager" routine, but it can't find anything to manage. A search of the Mac returns null on "firefox profile". I don't understand why, if the profile is missing, a clean download will not solve the problem?
    I'm running 10.7.5 on a Macbook Air
    I feel like I'm in Mash. The following "help" assumes I'm in Firefox, which isn't happening.

    Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile.
