Fillable Form posted to website will not open web links in new window-wipes out data

Using Adobe Pro X, have a link to open a web link, but this is posted to our website and when a user clicks on the link, it does not open in a new window, so when they go back to the form, all the typed data is gone. I do not see an option for the link to open in a new window. Help!
Thanks

Ajlan,
I tested it with Firefox, which does not support filling in of forms and makes you open it with adobe reader, which it fine once you get to that point since you are no longer on the web. I have Adobe Reader XI. I am not aware of any clipboard policy.
I have actually found a fix that requires a java script that solves the issue.
Under link properties/Actions/Run a JavaScript-input the below.
app.launchURL("https://infoshare.jccc.edu/communities/toolbox/Desk%20Reference%20Manual%20Documents/per-d iem-and-mileage.pdf", true);
To truly fix this issue, I believe there needs to be an option of "in a new window" when you choose "Open a Web Link".
There are hundreds of individuals using this form and there is no way to know which browser they are using or which version of reader they have.
Thank you for your time.

Firefox will not open tabs in a new window

When I right click a tab, and select the option "Open in a new window", Firefox does not respond.
I can add as many tabs as I like, but can not open them in a new window.
I can also right click a link and open it in a new tab, but Firefox does not do anything when I try to open the link in a new window.
I reinstalled Firefox on my computer, and also updated Java and it did not solve the problem.
This started happening about a week ago for no apparent reason.

First check to see if an add-on is causing this problem, for details on how to do that see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
If that does not help, try creating a new profile. Firefox stores user data in the profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows]. If the new profile works, you can transfer select data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. DO not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install add-ons. For details of how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile].

H8-1237c will not open web links/connection issues.

Hello,
I have a new HP H8-1237c with Windows 7 64bit. Verizon dsl with a Westell Versalink 327 modem and an Apple Airport Extreme.
Internet Explorer 9 will open the standard homepage, but will not open any links, or will sporadically open a few. It will connect to google.com when I type that in the address bar, but not when I try to click on any search results.
Verizon tech support had me reset IE9 and it got hung up. We restated the system in safe mode with networking and were able to ping google with good results. Most links opened.
Upon restarting the system in standard mode, the links are not working again, He suggested HP support.
I have not had any previous problems. My laptop and ipads/touchpad all connect normally.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Mazz520, welcome to the forum.
I suggest trying Firefox or Chrome to see if either of them works properly. If they do, it is a problem with IE9 settings. If they don't, it is most likely your ISP/Network settings.

Firefox will not open or create a new window if a link is clicked in Thunderbird or any other software

Hello,
I'm using version 3.6.13
I'm on a Windows 7 platform
In Thunderbird or any other software that provides a hyperlink, clicking on the link will not activate Firefox if it's not running, or it won't open a new window if it is running.
I have disabled all addons, restarted, and it still doesn't work.
I have not installed any new devices, such as printers, for at least a year or more.
I use Avast for protection since I bought this PC
I do have Spybot resident.
I would provide a list of all my installed software, but I don't know how to get the list.
Thank you,
Robert

I'm using FF 4.1 and TB 3.1.10 and am having the same problem.

Open web link in new window or tab

Is it possible to have Pages create links in pdf documents that open in a new tab or window? It is a nuisance to have to re-render the base Pages pdf exported document every time you click on a link.

This is hard because links in a page can work in multiple ways:
* no "target" attribute - open in the same tab
* "target" attribute set to:
** "_blank" - open in a new tab
** "name1" (used before and currently open) - replace the page in the "name1" tab
** "name2" (not used before or already closed) - open in a new tab
* script attached to the link to override its normal behavior - a variety of results are possible, including a completely new window
You could try the settings tweaks in this old thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/985943
Does that do what you want?

Additional tab will not open for links

previously i have been able to click on a link, and the link would open in a new window or tab. but now whenever i try to open a link through a website, it will not open the link in a new window or new tab. how can i fix this?

Hi ArletteGH, I'm not sure which one of these is the better description of your issue:
If you Ctrl+click or middle-click a link:
* Firefox creates a new tab, loads the link in that tab, but the tab stays in the background rather than being made active (default behavior)
* Firefox creates a new tab, but doesn't actually fetch the page until you make the tab active
* Firefox creates a new tab, but the tab and address bar stay blank, as though the address never got transferred to the page
Are any of those close to describing your problem?

HT201413 suddenly itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention" is blocking itunes from opening....why????

itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention (DEP)" feature in Windows is preventing it from opening. (this is after I've been using itunes for years???? If I try to manually deselect itunes from the DEP filter, of course I get a message that itunes cannot operate without the DEP active...another Catch 22 from the evil program designers....

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Firefox will not open st george bank logon window

Firefox will not open the St George logon window. It has for morre than 5 years but in the last 48 hours it has stopped. IE and Crome still do. We have cached web content, opened Firefox in safe mode, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 6 times and tried many ideas other people have suggested in the online forum - seems we are not an isolated case! We are using Firefox version 19 and just about ready to uninstall it for the last time out of sheer frustration. I

Internet explorer will not open web pages

HPw1858, Windows 7 connected to comcast cable. norton anti-virus program.
Internet Explorer will not open web pages - refers to Domain Name Server missing or Error 403 (Forbidden) h30155.www.hp.com
very frustrating. can you tell me what settings i need to change?

Firefox Download

Try the free Fix IE utility.

You can try uninstalling IE8 then reinstalling it.
Uninstall IE8
I would take 'Y2ken's' advice and try Firefox. I have used it for years with XP Pro and Ubuntu, Linux. It definitely is more responsive. Most of what is in IE8 was developed in FF several years ago. FF was the first browser with tabs, for instance.

Google, Yahoo, and very random websites will not open

Google.com will not open, yahoo will not open and anything google- or yahoo-related will not open (including their search engines, which is killing me) as well as very random websites. Other websites open immediately. This is happening exactly the same on both Firefox and Safari.
Mac OS 10.6.8. The other iMac in the house (OS 10.7.5) is working fine as well as our Macbook, iPad, and three iPhones. I believe the problem started after we changed Verizon modems and wi-fi networks, but I cannot be sure, and I don't understand why the other devices/machines would not also be effected. There is no spyware that I know of installed on this problem machine. When I do a repair verification on the Utility Disk I get a lot of messages that read in different variations of the following: Warning:SUID file"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contens/MacOs/Ar dAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

It is the same with the other accounts on the machine, but not with any other Mac device in my house, including another iMac. I'm going to reword the question more clearly below, so that maybe others will have a solution. Thank you very much for your effort, Old Toad.
Google, yahoo, and apple sites (including their search engines) will not open as well as a few random websites. Most other websites open immediately. This is happening exactly the same on both Firefox and Safari, so it does not appear to be a browser-specific issue. The operating system on the iMac is a Mac OS 10.6.8.

I mention the other devices because I believe the problem started after we changed the Verizon modem and wi-fi network, but I cannot be sure, and I don't understand why the other devices/machines would not also be effected. There is no spyware that I know of installed on this problem machine.
What I've done so far:
Cleared all history on, and reset, both browsers.
Run a "repair disk permissions" on the Utility Disk and I've received many messages that read in different variations of the following: Warning:SUID file"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contens/MacOs/Ar dAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Cleared the caches in my hard drive Library and Users Library folders (the Internet is now faster for the sites that do work)

Websites will not open. Domain computers. Not Firewall, Not Cookies. Seems to be just domain computers cannot open 90% of websites.

I have a few domain computers that cannot open any webpages, 90% will not open. MSN CBS ABC NBC none of these pages will open. nothing loads on the page, it says connecting to.. If I click work offline, the page will load minus and video or pictures. just a format and wording appears.
I have cleaned cookies, reset to default, safe mode, rebooted, checked the firewall, checked the domain controller, re-installed, turned off IP V6, I followed every troubleshooting guide i can find. i check the network settings, check proxy, checked DNS, If i click help and try to get an update from Firefox, it just sits there at like 2.5 KB and says downloading forever.
The pages will set there and spin for hours. no error, no timeout.. just says connecting to ....(which ever page).

Internet Explorer 11 will not open Embedded links or update application software., Open a blank page

Hello,
I have a customer with a brand new HP workstation and the same thing is happening here.
Doing a search in Norton Toolbar and then clicking on one of the results it opens a new IE page but the page is completely blank, including the tab at the top to identify the page. Also when using a tax software program that is running from a web browser
and clicking on an update it does the same thing.
When logging onto Online Banking and if you click on a transaction to view a deposit or a check it will not open that item.
The computer was installed 15 days ago. The first time we installed Office 2013 it asked to activate the product over the Internet. It would not connect to the Microsoft servers to validate the new product. OF course we had to call(phone) it in to validate.
There are more examples of "On Line" things not working properly, these are just a few.
Should I uninstall IE 11 and install IE10.
So Far I have disabled all add-ons, reset IE, Ran a full viruscan - Results Clean (N360). Customer does use the password feature in Norton 360, i beleive it is called the "Vault".
I did uninstall IE 11 and Norton 360. Installed IE 11 on and the same results. Then I installed N360 back on.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Customer does not want Chrome installed>

Hi,
the first step in troubleshooting web browser issues is to test in noAddons mode.
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Internet Explorer (noAddons)
In your customers case you should also try navigating to the URL by typing it directly in the IE address bar.... (when asking internet related questions please include the complete address to any web pages you are having issues with).
It seems plausible that in this case a configuration of the Nortons security suite or toolbar may be causing the issue.... Without an example link we cannot test the site in question. The Nortons toolbar is probably using google as a search results provider.
To completely remove Norton 360 from the computer you need to download the N360 removal tool.
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us
have your tried support.norton.com?
you could try
a Reset IE Settings... (Advanced tab of Internet Options)
a Reset of IE security zone settings (Security tab of Internet Options>click "Reset all zones to default", then the Trusted sites icon, sites button....remove any domains from the trusted sites list.) (MSIE browsers have a security setting to prevent
navigation into zones of lower integrity).
Again... without a link to the website youre client is having issues with we can only guess.

Adobe Reader XI will not open MMS Links

I am trying to create a document in PDF format for a client that has an MMS link in it but it will not open from Adobe Reader. I got someone to test it with Adobe Acrobat and it works. If I try to create the document from Adobe Acrobat it doesn't make a difference. I have my default web browser set to Internet Explorer since that is the only web browser that works with this kind of link. (Microsoft Media Services). I can copy and paste the link into Internet Explorer and it will Launch correctly so it is something specific with Adobe Reader.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this.
I am creating the document with Word 2013 and saving it as a PDF ( The Links works fine form Word.)

Some other things to try...
Update to Reader version 11.0.5
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
