Email link in AS2 opens Safari window

Does anyone know how to stop a browser window opening up when the email link is clicked? I'm using a button with this script:
on(release){
getURL("mailto: [email protected] ");
Thanks

Try testing it live on a server. Often when testing locally opening other windows/applications doesn't behave as desired.

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

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.

My mail stamp logo shows 7 messages but when I click to read them there is nothing there. It also shows 7 unread messages next to my icloud email address when I open the window. I am an original .mac email account holder now it seems like I have 3 emails

My mail stamp logo shows 7 messages but when I click to read them there is nothing there. It also shows 7 unread messages next to my icloud email address when I open the window. I am an original .mac email account holder now it seems like I have 3 emails an @mac.com, an @me.com and an @icloud.com.
I'm so confused! Is there a way to combined these all into one?

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.

Email links won't open in Safari - keeps resetting to Mail

OS X Mavericks
Safari 7.0
Mail 7.0
My email links in Safari were opening in Chrome. I opened Mail, went to Mail > Preferences > General and changed 'Default email reader' to Safari. Then my email links opened in Mail! Went back to Mail > Preferences and it was reset back to Mail. Safari will not stick. I changed it to Firefox, that stuck. I set it back to Google Chrome, that stuck. But when I set it to Safari, it sticks only as long until I click on an email link in any browser, then it resets back to Mail.

Do you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro installed? If so, that is the problem.
You need to quit Safari, start the applicable program(s) you have, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box where it says "Display PDF in browser using:". Then go to Users/username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove the Adobe PDF plugin. Restart Safari and try view a PDF in the browser.

When link in email is clicked, firefox opens two windows.

I have XP Sp3 and firefox 9.0.1. I use outlook 2003 for email. "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is checked. When I click on a link in email, firefox opens two windows. The first opened shows the link and the second opened shows a blank "new tab". Clicking the link again causes the second window to open a second tab displaying the link. The first window stays the same.

That is this bug:

Opening Links in Mail, Which Safari Window is Used?

It appears that whenever I click on a link in a Mail message, it always seems to open up in a new tab on the same window. Regardless of how many windows I have open in Safari, it's always the same one.
Is there a way to configure this?
I'd prefer that Mail links open in a new Safari window, or have them open in the last active Safari window.
Thanks.
OS X 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Mail 6.6

Linc,
Sorry, I think I should have been more specific.
I have it set to Automatically. When I click on a link in Mail, the link opens up in a specific Safari window, the same one, for each and every link in Mail I click on. Each link adds a new tab to this specific window. Regardless of how many windows are open in Safari and regardless of which Safari window was last active, the Mail links always open in the same Safari window. Each link opens in a new tab in this specific Safari window. Even when I quite Safari (leaving this specific window open), Mail links keep using this window.
I don't want Mail (or links from other apps, like RSS readers) to open in new windows. Then I wind up with lots of windows, one for each new link. This is what I seem to get if I choose Never.
I'd prefer it if Safari would open the mail links in the last active Safari window. This doesn't seem to be an option in the Safari preferences. I was wondering if there was some other way to achieve this. Perhaps via Terminal, editing some preferences file?
I'm not even sure what logic Safari is using to pick the window. It's not last active. Is it first window opened? I suppose I should try that out.
Either way, if you have any other suggestions, that'd be great. Otherwise, thanks for you help.

Email links will not open in my Firefox browser

Hello, Using my Firefox web browser when I am in my emails. Inside the email body and there is a link to click on inside. The Firefox will not open the link page, it comes up as an error. However, if i right click and open in a new window. Firefox will then open the link and send me to that page.
I then decided to try IE and when I double click the link within the email body, it opens it up with no issues at all.
Firefox is my default browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Two days ago

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.

email links go dead

Win7 / FireFox 3.6.13 / Win Live Mail 2011

Tried setting .url association to poinr specifically to FF - still no go.
Hyperlinks do work fine when running Hotmail via the net instead.
Waiting for a reply I guess as I'm still 'finding my way' around Win7
Can Mozilla please build their own OS :-)

Email links don't open firefox

I noticed yesterday that when clicking on a link in an email, nothing happened. I thought it was just a problem with the link.
Today, another email link would open firefox for a split second and then firefox would close.
I also noticed that clicking on some links in web pages while using firefox would cause firefox to shut down immediately.
I tried creating a new profile and I tried disabling all addons, but didn't help.
I think this all started when I allowed firefox to install the latest update a couple of days ago.
Any ideas how to fix this problem will be appreciated.

Open Windows Internet Explorer. Have it declared as the default browser.
If you want, you can turn off the "check if default" option.
Now open Firefox, and have it declared as the default.
Did this help?

Add Attachment link doesn't open attachment window

I'm trying to debug a custom page, written by someone else. It's in the recruitment module, and delivered subpages HRS_CE_A_RES_SBP and are included to allow attach/view/delete of attachments.
When the Add Attachment link is clicked, it should open a window that lets the user enter a filename or browse, but on this custom page, nothing happens.
Because the delivered code is unmodified, I suspect that there is some setup that hasn't been done. The component does contain table HRS_APP_ATTACH, which includes subrecord FILE_ATTACH_SBR. The component also contains record FILE_ATTACH_WRK.
Can someone suggest my next step? Thanks.

Generally Add attachment issues are enountered while setting up new regions for the reason URL not updated while setting up new region.
In this table PSFILE_ATTDET a row is inserted temporarily with Oprid and deleted once the specified file is trasferred mentioned url successfully.
Example: AddAttachment(&URL_ID, &ATTACHSYSFILENAME, &FILEEXTENSION, &ATTACHUSERFILE, &FILESIZE)
works when &ATTACHUSERFILE =file-name and &URL_ID=gerurl(url.urlname) are given properly.Please check these parameters.

Mail- I click an email link and Mail opens, but nothing happens

I dont use mail.app How can I disable it completely so that it wont bother me? Whenever I click an email link, i dont want Mail to open. It would be nice if my gmail opened though.

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.
