Firefox 7.0.1 causes windows live mail to report problem when link is clicked

When Firefox 7.0.1 is not open and a link in an email is selected (Windows Live Mail), mail reports an error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested website does load after this with no problems. This same error has been previously reported with Firefox 4, however I have only recently had the problem.

Solved (for me). The problem was Roboform 7.5.5. When they updated Roboform to 7.5.6, the issue with Firefox 7 was resolved. Note that the problem did not occur with any other browsers before, and now it is fixed in Firefox 7.

Firefox w/Win 7 and Windows Live Mail does not auto-hyperlink from Send Link. I know cut-and-paste. Is there fix?

On other computer, w/Vista, Windows Mail, clicking Send Link works perfectly, providing one click hyperlink. Running latest Firefox on both computers. Made Windows Live Mail default email. No help. Uninstalled Windows Live Mail and switched to thunderbird, made default. Didn't work.

I'm searching for a solution as well.
For now, when the compose message windows opens with the plain text link, I just click anywhere in the body of the message below the text. This will place the cursor at the end of the link. I then hit Enter, and the hyperlink becomes active.

I've downloaded Firefox 4, now cannot access Windows Live Mail and have spent many hours trying to resolve including uninstalling, system restore etc etc

I have a Sony Vaio Desktop (ie high spec) and have not had any software problems until I downloaded FF 4 and lost my WLM. I've tried so many ways to try to resolve this. The Sytem Restore is not working - ebven though I created a restore point for 4 May and disabled all the security settings etc.
I can access my WLM account on my work PC - but note that the address list has gone.
Really grateful for your help - thanks.

Update: I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure? Help!!

I'm using windows live mail as my default, when I click file, send link, the proper mail window opens but the link is not highlighted in blue and cannot be opened by recipients

The link that shows up in the e-mail I send cannot be opened, there is no hyperlink I believe.

There is usually a toolbar button in the editor to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.

HT1694 How to set up a Windows Live Mail email account?

I am attempting to set up my email account on my iPhone 4. I use a Windows Live Mail email account.
When I go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add Mail Account > I enter all of the relevant details in relation to my new account which I am attempting to set up (such as; Name, Email, Password, Descriptopn) and then I click next > Then here is what I am not sure what to do next.
I am asked under Incoming Mail Server to enter a Host Name, User Name & Password. Under that there is Outgoing Mail Server and I am asked to enter Host Name.
My question is where do I find this information?
Thank you.

Windows Live Mail - How to Set it Up

I've been trying to set up Windows Live Mail to display emails received by my BT Mail account.
None of the detailed instructions on the Internet correspond to the Wndows Live Mail screens that appear during the setting up process.
In addition to the above problem, Windows Live Mail asks for ingoing and outgoing details. I've been using imap.btinternet.com for ingoing, port 993 and smtp.btinternet.com for outgoing, port 465, all gleaned from BT on the internet (although I've lost track of where that all came from during my hours of searching).
At the end of the hit-and-miss set up attempt, the user screen in Windows Live Mail (which looks a lot like the old Outlook Express screen) displays my email address in the left column, along with some folder names that were there before I started setting up, but it won't display the folder names corresponding to my BT email address and it won't display any emails. Basically, my actions have only worked to the extent that my email address is displayed, but that's all.
Can anyone please give a detailed, step-by-step description of exactly what needs to be done from absolute scratch, such that a three year old with no computer knowledge could complete it successfully.
Thank you if you can help.

Many thanks for both replies and the links in the second reply.
I've digested the first recommended link and carefully followed the second recommended link, following the further sub-link therein for 'Windows Live Mail'.
As per my original post, there are differences between the recommended link screens and the screens that appear in the version of Windows Live Mail I've downloaded from Microsoft and installed.
Thus:
(1) - 'login user name' in the recommended link appears as 'login ID if different from email address' in the Windows Live Mail software. The recommended link completes that entry as 'example.user', which is meaningless. Is that my BT email address, without the '.com' extension? Then again, applying straightforward logic to the instruction, since my BT login ID is my email address, then the entry should be blank, should it not? Therefore, I've left the entry blank. If that is incorrect, what should I enter, please?
(2) - Continuing completion of the entries from top to bottom, I eventually come to the 'outgoing server information' entry, most particularly the port number. I've entered '465' as the outgoing server information port number. Continuing further, when I subsequently tick the box against 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)', the port number entered earlier is altered (without any other action by me) to 25. I can go back and change it back to 465, which is what I've done. Is that correct, or should I allowthe software to impose 25?
(3) - I then discover that the 'NEXT' button is greyed out. I therefore can't select 'Next', so, having completed the entries in the window, I'm currently stuck there.
Any help would be gratefully received, with thanks.

Windows Live Mail doesn't work in Firefox after recent updates to Windows 7. System Restore doesn't help.

Installed around 8 important Windows 7 updates over the past 3 days (so, nothing I could uninstall as they're security updates mainly). Since then, Windows Live Mail doesn't respond in Firefox. Did 2 System Restores and downloaded Live Essentials again but nothing works.

Did you try to clear the cookies as well?

I would like firefox to open links in windows live mail.

I want Firefox to open links I click on in windows live mail 2011 instead of internet explorer

This happened to me when I installed 4.0 BETA. I un-installed BETA as I didn't like it. I then used 3.6 but the links opened with Internet Explorer. I re-installed 3.6 and it's now working fine so I would suggest re-installing whatever version you have.

VERY SENSITIVE TOUCHPAD CAUSING PROBLEMS WHEN TYPING MESSAGESS IN WINDOWS LIVE MAIL

The laptop was recently purchased new. Windows Live Mail was installed and a mouse is used.
In respondng to an email, new email or typing a message in a forum setting such as this, the entire text would disappear which was often before a complete sentance could be typed and could not be retrieved. This process would repeat itself over and over again.
A technical representative from the company that sold the laptop concluded that combined with a very sensitive touchpad,
a moving cursor arrow, shadow from the typing hand and lightly brushing the touchpad with the typing hand either singularly or in any combination were the likely causes of the problem. He then, using the software in the laptop, deactivated the tap function in the touchpad leaving all other functions in the touchpad in place. This resolved the problem.
- Is there a device or software in the laptop that adjusts the sensitivity of the touchpad so that the tap function can be restored?
- Is it possible that the combination of Windows 8.1 and Windows LIve Mail is really the problem and if so, how is this determined and if necessary resolved?
-Is there a hardware / software malfunction in the laptop causing this problem?
Any advice and comments would be appreciated

Hi @unfinished ,
Welcome to the HP forum!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and suggestions!
I see that your new HP notebook's touchpad is very sensitive and you would like to be able to alter that. Here is a link to
Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8). There is a link to how to adjust the sensitivity.
As it is a new purchase you should be in warranty and can contact HP support for assistance if this did not help.
Please call our technical support at 800 474 6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get a support number for your region.

Problems with Windows Live Mail send/recieve after upgrading Firefox

I recently upgraded Firefox and since then I get this:
An unknown error has occurred.
Server: 'smtp.frontier.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80070057
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No

have you tried using imap instead?
if you can access your email from the web page then sounds more like a problem with windows live mail and not your BT account

Firefox and Windows live mail won't play well together

If I open windows live mail from the task bar in windows 7 (64) I have to click on Firefox 5-10 times until it opens. If I open Firefox first, no problems. If I open live mail first, (which automatically opens messenger) I have to close both to open Firefox. Firefox is my default browser. I installed updates. Everything's current .

Hi MadGirlDisease,

How to i go directly to my inbox in windows live mail using firefox

Nothing more than what I've already said. I want to go directly to inbox in windows live mail (my account is actually Hotmail.com) if that makes a difference. I've tried what others have but they have used IE and the options are there from there silly Msn toolbar, but the toolbar is not compatible with Firefox. Please if anyone can help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Joe

What do you think about using a bookmark? If you display the Bookmarks Toolbar, it's a one-click operation. If you save the bookmark to the Bookmarks menu, it's a two-click operation. You wouldn't need an additional toolbar.
After opening your mailbox, you can drag the padlock icon from the left side of the address bar and drop it on the Bookmarks Toolbar to add the bookmark there. Right-click and choose Properties to edit the name if it's not to your liking. (If you don't normally display the Bookmarks Toolbar, you can show it by right-clicking a blank area of the tab bar and choosing it from the toolbar list.)
Or to add it to your Bookmarks menu, double-click the faded "star" icon after the right end of the URL (or press Ctrl+d) to open the bookmark dialog. Change the folder to Bookmarks Menu if necessary.
Now... I should mention that for this to work in the future, you would need to stay logged in to your mail site (using Microsoft's cookie) or have Firefox or your favorite password filling add-on save your mail login. Otherwise, your bookmark will be diverted to the login page.
Any luck?

UPTIL NOW...While using Peachtree Accounting, I click Email and it takes me to windows live mail account. NOW it wants me to set up a new mail address through some WIZARD from Firefox. How do I get back to my previous setup? can I just delete Firefox?

see above

Were you previously loading Windows Live Mail in an earlier version of Firefox or in Internet Explorer?
If it was Firefox 3.6, either your settings did not carry over or an add-on associated with this function was incompatible and therefore disabled.
If it was IE, do you want to continue using IE as your default browser?
