Firefox 5 doesnt seem to let me open mailto links in gmail. I am using a mac on snow leapord.
Further more I have gone into preferences and set to Mailto application to be gmail and it still dosen't work. Any suggestions.
I have the same problem with mailto links and Gmail. I have tested the specified link (https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s) manually and it works fine. The same link invoked with FF5 fails and no error message is displayed. This was definitely working in previous version of FF. Don't know of anything else that has changed. I am a Windows Vista user.

Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Use Firefox to open email links on GMail
Hi,
I am running Firefox on Windows 7.
I want to open mailto: links from different applications in Firefox.
I have followed the instructions on the support page :
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-program-used-open-email-links
If I am on a web page, and I click on a mailto:xxxx link Gmail opens: great !
But if I am in another application (like an ERP application) and I click on a mailto:xxxx link then Outlook opens.
When I go to Default Programs => Associate a file type or a protocol to a program, for the MAILTO protocol there is only Outlook defined and I can not find a way to define another program for that protocol: any idea ?Sorry, I don't need this addon: it doesn't solve my problem.
I can follow mailto links within Firefox, I want mailto links from an application to lauch Firefox.
At the moment, I have only Outlook as a possible choice in the window: Default Programs => Associate a file type or a protocol !
I have tried changing the registry settings with info gathered from several web page ... with no results.
Any ideas ? -

I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.
My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

I cannot open mailto links in external websites.
when I click on an email link in some websites, it says there is no application to open the mailto link. I went through the help menus, where I am asked to find the mailto feature and add an application. There is no mailto feature listed, so I can't link an application. It seems my firefox has no knowledge of mailto. I don't get a yahoo pop-up as others do. What do I do? I have Firefox 20.0.1and gmail and windows 7.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+the+e-mail+program+used+by+Firefox
You can check the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.
You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true. -

I am trying to open Cold Fusion files using Dreamweaver CC. We've never had a problem with the versions before the Cloud. My co-worker can open using a PC, but I'm using a Mac. I can connect to the server and see the files, but when I open, it opens the file in text editor. I have tried adding the extensions to the Extensions.txt file (they weren't there previously), editing the MMDocumentTypes.xml file (the file type WAS in that file), adding to the Preferences-->File Types/Editors (I can add the extension, but when I try to choose Dreamweaver CC as the editor, I get an error "You cannot use Adobe Dreamweaver CC as an external editor. Please choose a different application."). When I right-click the file, I do not see an "Open With" option, only "Open". Does anyone know of another trick that could make Dreamweaver CC more than an HTML editor for Mac? I cannot us CF Builder - no approval for loading the extra files server-side to use that IDE.
Have you tried these suggestions...

Opening external links in the most recently used page
I'm having an issue where external links from Mail or elsewhere are always opening up in the oldest page, IE, the page that was opened first, rather than the most recently used page.
Normally, this isn't that big of a deal, except when the oldest page is minimized, and every time I open a new link, Safari open up that minimized page to load in a new tab.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks!You can't COMPLETELY remove it, but you can reduce it to one (1) item. Under Preferences>Documents
1 is the minimum and 10 is the maximum. Hard coded, no way to expand or reduce these limits.
The ONLY other option is to disable the "welcome screen" altogether under Preferences>General -
Why would firefox suddenly decide not to let me open more tabs?
Yesterday, my firefox was working fine. Today, I went to ope a new tab, and nothing happened. I tried going file>new tab, I tried ctrl+t, and I tried clicking the little box next to the already open tab. Nothing happened. Is there a way to fix this?
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]]
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") -
Why is firefox download not allowing me to open files I have downloaded when it says the download was complete.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I downloaded files yesterday and todayIt is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files (Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows) -
My firefox was running fine until I was prompted to upgrade to Firefox 4. I did so and now when I try to open, I get a message window saying I cannot run firefox on the mac I'm now running (10.4.11). How to I get back to the version of firefox I was running?
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Question says it all.
Thank you. BUT, I've been downloading since noon. Download speed is 1KB/s, and it says that I have 2 hrs, 25 minutes, no, 2 hrs 27 minutes, wait, 2 hrs 28 minutes (and growing) to go.
I hope the Mozilla folks post a system requirements warning, next time. -
I can open web pages and click on links that don't require a login, but if I am trying to open a login for email or anything else "connecting" shows up in the tab and runs constantly with no connection taking place.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
