Email pictures open much to big in Firefox/Waterfox cant fix it.

Hello.
Im having issues with a new tablet I recent bought, an ASUS Vivo Tab RT. It takes very good photos, but when I open them in certain email clients they are HUGE. They are so big they actually go off the screen. It doesnt happen if I use Outlook Express, but when I use my Cox Communications Email client it does. Ive tried putting about:config in the address bar, then changing the browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing. I then shut down the browser and open it again to my Cox email client and the results are the same on both Firefox and Waterfox. My dad also has the same issue in Yahoo mail. The only quick option is after opening an email with one of my photos, and it auto opens the image too big, to then right click the image and open it with the default windows image viewer then its normal size. Is there a way to fix Waterfox and Firefox to open images at normal sizes instead of way too big? Thanks in advanced for any help.

Hi Edmeister.
Yes I can right click the image right after I open the email and it blows up the picture. Once I right click it, I can open it with the normal windows image viewer and it displays properly. Also my outlook email client opens them normally too, just on cox and yahoo email clients they open way too big.

Using Firefox with my Yahoo account, email picture attachments are missing. If I open with Safari the pictures are there and viewable. Do you have any suggestions so?

I use Yahoo mail, and recently when I receive an emailed picture, the attachment is missing. I thought this was a Yahoo issue and contacted them. They told me to try Safari and the pictures in my mail account are visible. So I went back to Firefox, cleared my caches, history etc... and I updated Firefox, my ad-ons and restarted my computer and the pictures are still not visible via Firefox. I like using Firefox, but I need to be able to view pictures ( In place of the picture attachment is shows: 3.txt

Every time I click a link in an email, it opens in Firefox instead of Safari. I want the links to open in Safari again. How do I make that happen?

I'm pissed. How dare you assume I want my emails to open with Firefox, and change the settings on my computer without my permission?!!!
How do I get my email links to open in Safari again?!
I'm using a Mac 10.6.8 operating system

No. If you simply click on a hyperlink in pretty much anything, Safari will open since it is the default browser. The only option you have is tap and hold on the link, and then select Add to reading list. It will then be stored int eh reading list in Safari.

I want links (ie in an email) to open Firefox, not Safari

When I click a link in an email, it opens in Safari. How do I open it in Firefox by default instead?

You're welcome. Glad to help.

How can I make Firefox default browser for links in Earthlink emails? I have already verified that Firefox is my default browser, but clicking on links usually opens IE rather than Firefox.

Basically I have verified that Firefox is my default browser and it works great. Earthlink is my default email program. About 70% of the time when I click on a link in an Earthlink email it opens with Firefox, but the other 30% of the time it opens with IE, which I don't want to happen. Is there any way to fix this?

Hypertext link in email opens my previous version of Firefox, not the one I upgraded to.

Greetings, each time I upgrade to the newest version of Firefox I'm running into this problem. If I open the browser directly, it opens the newest version. If I click a hypertext link in my email, it opens my previous version and I get a message saying I need to upgrade. How do I fix this?

I also had this problem. After the hint from jsher2000 above, I checked the add-ons.
It's still called "AVG Safe Search" in the Add-ons Manager in Firefox. (Either under Tools/Add-ons or under the orange "Firefox": Add-ons (Or Ctrl-shift A)
I found AVG Safe Search disabled in my list of add ons, and enabled it.
Voila, the icons now appeared in the searches!

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.

How do I change my mail so that email links open in firefox and not safari

When I last took my macbook pro to the apple store, they inadvertently set the email links in my received mail to open in Safari. How do I change it back to Firefox?

See Imbeded links in my email always open with Safari. How do I change the default browser to Firefox.

When I have more than one tab open, if I click on a picture to view, when the window opens to view the photo, firefox crashes. I also notice while looking at a web page, the pinned tabs to the left of the bar are constantly reloading for some reason.

When I have more than one tab open, if I click on a picture to view/enlarge, say eBay, and I click on the items photo to enlarge it, when the window opens to view the photo, Firefox crashes. I also notice while looking at a web page, the pinned tabs to the left of the bar are constantly reloading for some reason, The green circle starts going round and round for no reason even though the tab is not being viewed. Both problems seem to have started after the last software update.

The Firefox browser doesn't run on the iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch. There is a Firefox Home app, but it isn't a browser.

I get green fuz in my email pictures when using firefox.

I can switch to google chrome and the pictures are ok. I use firefox as my main browser.

Hi George, is this a problem viewing pictures that you received, pictures you are sending (while you compose) or pictures you sent (after being processed by the mail service)?
Which mail service do you use (e.g., Yahoo, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail)?
By default, Firefox will try to apply a color profile if it is specified in the image file. However, this does not always work out well.
You can turn off color management, or you can specify a color profile you want Firefox to use, but these settings are a bit tricky to access. You might want to try this add-on which provides a dialog to set them: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management].
Or, to peek under the covers and set them yourself, check out these articles: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gfx.color_management.mode Gfx.color management.mode - MozillaZine Knowledge Base], [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gfx.color_management.display_profile Gfx.color management.display profile - MozillaZine Knowledge Base], [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config About:config - MozillaZine Knowledge Base].

Open a Telnet link with Firefox and bad things can happen

I happened to come across a site with a number of links, and the one I chose happened to be a telnet link. Here was my experience, and I had to put myself into the shoes of the average user who knows nothing about programming.
The link that caused Firefox trouble when Firefox was chosen to run it is this:
telnet://dxc.nc7j.com:7300
Click on the link and Firefox tells you that you need to select a program to open the Internet Shortcut Shell extension DLL. I have never heard of this, and I have no idea what to do here.
Choose to open with Firefox.
Now, if some error-handling routine had caught that Firefox, which is not capable of doing Telnet, was selected by the unknowing person behind the keyboard to go ahead and do Telnet, the error-handler would advise the user to the fact that this protocol is not supported and kill the process that is going to run out-of-control otherwise. Or cause to open the program that will run the Telnet session.
Better yet, I clicked on the Telnet link and offer a better description of the choices.
After all of what happened below, I installed Iron, a Chromium-based browser, and it opened a Telnet session window right away.
So what did happen, I clicked on Firefox to do this chore and was greeted by a never-ending opening of empty tabs and upon closing the browser, it relaunched and was off to the races again. And again.
OK so this ain't getting us anywhere.
Firefox opens once again, this time hit the big red X to close it, and let the prompt to close however many tabs anyway prompt sitting there.
I chose to run CCleaner, and I set that to blow away Firefox Cache and session. Run CCleaner, and tell it to force Firefox closed when it prompts that Firefox is open.
If by chance Firefox launches again, timing was perfect that the file that was causing Firefox to open was not yet cleaned, so run the CCleaner again a few times. When Firefox is no longer opening, we are back to the world of sanity.
Now, I could go in and reset the Tools Options Applications tab and look for Telnet, and replace the use of Firefox with "ask me."
Fortunately, I know a little more than some about the computer, and I knew I had to use a utility to clear out the Firefox cache.
You have a description of the issue in your knowledgebase, but it has Firefox opening endless empty tabs, but Firefox was closed and the situation is under control.. Restart Firefox manually, start a new session and then enter the Tools menu and fix the setting.
There is a knowledge base article on this very topic, but it has the user close Firefox and then all is back to normal. One can open Firefox and get into the menu to fix the issue. There was a mention in there about malware as a possible cause of the constant reopening I experienced, but Malwarebytes scans were clean.
"Well, this is embarrassing!" I have seen that nice touch to Firefox for many years, and may I compliment those who thought of that one.

I agree, it can become a vicious circle.
The default setting to try to restore all the windows and tabs automatically after a crash isn't the best setting. Personally I do change that so I get the "this is embarrassing" screen. So one option would be to file a bug report suggesting this be changed going forward.
Another potential follow-up action would be to update the knowledge base article to better address how to recover in these situations. For example, a user could start up Firefox without restoring the previous session by:
* Launching Firefox with a specific URL
** Using a desktop shortcut
** Using a link in an external application
** On the command line, typing firefox.exe "about:blank"
** (Possibly more ways to do it)
* Renaming the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder
** On the plus side, preserves the option to restore that session later
** On the minus side, difficult for many users to find folders hidden by the OS, and the .js extension may be hidden by the OS

When opening Apple Mail links 2 Firefox Windows Open, The top one is blank and the one behind it contains the web link page???

Whether with previous version of Firefox, or new one (3.6.4), when I open an Apple Mail link, Firefox opens 2 windows. Top window is blank, window behind it contains web page for mail link that I hit. I can't find anything in preferences of mail or Firefox to resolve this issue.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have discovered one solutionto my problem, which is not really convenient and is something I don't have to do with Safari 5 -- If I have Firefox open, but not a window open, then when I click on an Apple Mail link, only 1 window opens. But I don't always want to have my browser open, so this is kinda annoying. I'd rather not use Safari -- Firefox is so much better. Please fix this! Thanks.

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

When I open a second tab in Firefox, it does not go to my home page. Instead it goes to a page that displays what looks like a collection of pages (or links) that I have visited in the recent or distant past. I would much rather have it go to my home page which is much more useful to me. I have tried to change this in 'Options' but with no luck. Please fix this.
