Facebook, yahoo, google will not open in firefox. They don't even register as being directed to go to those sites.

I have completely uninstalled firefox and re-installed it and the issue has not changed. When I type facebook.com, google.com, yahoo.com into the location bar, firefox registers that I hit enter to do something but then reverts to an empty location bar within a second. Bookmarks to these pages do not work either. I can get may other pages to load, these three seem to be the main ones.

This issue is still present in safe mode.

Links in Mac Mail will not open in Firefox. This recently became an issue.

When I select a hyperlink in Mac Mail the courser changes shape but will not open in Firefox, my default browser. I have used Mail with Firefox for a couple of years & it worked fine, until now. I can change the default to Safari & it works fine with Safari.
Also periodically Firefox hangs up & I have to force close it. That started to happen only recently too.

The operating system has to have information about what the default browser is in order to open a link in a browser.

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it?

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it? OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I can not click certain tabs on my Etsy page & they will not open using Firefox, but I am able to open these tabs on Etsy when using Internet Explorer

When I am signed onto Etsy, there are certain tabs on the top of the page that I can not click open when using firefox, but when I use Internet Explorer, I am able to click open these tabs. The following tabs on my etsy page will not open: Your Shop, Your Account, Help, & Sign Out
Other tabs on the same page will let me click them open, such as:
Buy, Sell, Community, Blog, Mobile, when using Firefox & Internet Explorer

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Photo gallery popups will not open in firefox, but does in internet explorer

In the last few days popups within a website will not open. IE photo gallerys, logins for internet banking.
It seems to be a problem only in firefox as they will open with internet explorer

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Swf files will not open in firefox

hi,
I can not get my pages where I have swf files to open in firefox. I have several pages
with sound also and they will not open. here is the code that I am using. I have probably
8 pages of flash and the rest of the pages are javascript and html.
page10 = "<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,2,0\" width=\"578\" height=\"680\" id=\"page10\" align=\"middle\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\"   /><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"false\" /><param name=\"movie\" value=\"Issue007/Images/page10.swf\" /><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\" /><embed src=\"Issue007/Images/page10.swf\" quality=\"high\" wmode=\"transparent\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"578\" height=\"680\" name=\"page10\" align=\"middle\" allowScriptAccess=\"sameDomain\" allowFullScreen=\"false\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" /></object>";
page10Html = InsertDinamicDiv(10, "page10", "", 0, 0, 586, 680, "", "", "", "");
    page10Html.innerHTML = page10;
This is a magazine on the web and prior issues have loaded in firefox using the same code but not the pages with sound.
I hope someone can help. I have no problems in internet explorer. I am having problems with apple also. I figured if I got firefox working then apple would work. again in prior issues, we could see the pages in apple.
thanks,
Jennifer

you're missing the mozilla embedding code. use:

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.

Bookmark sidebar will not scroll and bookmarks will not open in Firefox 7 or 8

Cannot get past Firefox 6 without probelms with Bookmarks sidebar. Sidebar will not scroll and folders will not open to reveal bookmark contents. Had this problem with Firefox 7 and again with Firefox 8. Would like to use latest version for security reasons, but it is useless to me if I can't access bookmarks

Try:

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Apple Mail links will not open in Firefox. The address bar and page are blank.

I have just upgraded Firefox to version 4.0 and when I receive an email with a link in it, the link will not work. Firefox will load but the page is blank and the web address bar will sometimes show the link and sometimes not. If I cut and paste the address from the email it will not work.

In mail.app preferences there is a setting for RSS that lets one choose which program is the default RSS reader. Whichever program is set to be the default RSS reader is used by mail.app to open any urls in mail messages.
I really like my Mac but this is the most un-userfriendly, un-"it just works" thing I've run across in the 23 years I've been using Macintosh...

Frontierville will not open in firefox 4 (on mac)

Just installed firefox 4. Zynga Frontierville will not open. All I get is a blank page

Indeed that was the problem. Nikon Transfer
Is the culprit.
Copying the files direct solved it all.

Have you used any sort of Nikon software with these files? I've seen some files from a D4 that would not open in Lightroom or Photoshop, and the problem was caused when they had been processed with an older version of Nikon Transfer.

AOL will not open with firefox

aol home page will not open but i can bring up mail and other pages

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''

Since updating to iTunes 11.1.4(62) both my iPhone 5 and iPad Air do not sync.hen I plug them into my lap top directly, using the USB cord, they don't even register with iTunes as being present. I am completely stumped. I had no problem before.

When I plug my iPhone or iPad directly into my lap top, using the USB cord, the devices don't even register with iTunes as being present. I am completely stumped. I believe this bagan with my last iTunes update. The last time I syced any device was Oct 23, 2013. During that time I bought two new apple products and the same problem, when I plug them in they do not even show up as being available to sync. Any ideas why this is happening?
