Firefox does not become active from the Dock when I click on a email link

In OS 10.5, I can temporarily put the Firefox window off to the Dock by clicking on the yellow button in the upper left of the Firefox menu bar. In earlier versions of Firefox, the window would become active again if I clicked on a web link in an email address or document. Firefox 3.6.3 will open a tab for the web link, but stays inactive on the Dock. Why the change?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.3, I think

Thank you, thank you thank you. This has been driving me crazy forever. I have looked for answers online but never knew to write or that anyone would answer my post so never tried. Whoever you are may lots of good things happen for you because your good deed. Know good karma is coming your way. Just changed the firefox default setting in mailto in applications to my regular email. saves tons of time and much swearing.

  • I use aol mail, and I want to change my mailto: to aol. Firefox won't let me do that. When I click on an email link in a webpage, my computer goes nuts.

    When I click on an email link on a webpage, my computer goes crazy. (Please note that links to other websites are fine.) My computer seems to want to link me to Internet Explorer, which I don't use often. The computer starts running very fast and hot. Sometimes, I get a multitude of identical error messages from Explorer, and it is often hard to delete them!
    I thought maybe I could solve this by changing my mailto: client, but there is no link for Aol. Please help!
    Thanks.

    PS: Why am I still on AOL? I still use the first email address I got many years ago. Friends and clients know my email and use it to contact me. I don't want to change it.

    Hi, cor-el,
    Thank you for responding so quickly!
    I tried to follow the instructions, but it didn't work. There are 10 mimeTypes.rdf files on my computer!
    I tried to follow the website instructions of
    Tools -> Options -> Content / File Types -> Manage
    but once I get to Content I am stuck. No Manage button. (there is nothing that says File Types)
    What do you suggest?
    Thanks again.

  • Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

    Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I deleted the password from the view password window.

    The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

  • Price field is not becoming invisible from the item overview of SRM quote

    Hi All,
    I am facing a very unique problem . I need make certain fields invisible in the SRM quotation . One of them is the price field at the item level.
    I have used BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI for the same. However the field is NOT becoming invisible from the item overview. It is becoming invisible from the item detail but NOT from the item overview.
    Is it because the field is defined as display only in the code ?
    I have implemented note 1062639. Other than this price field I am able to make all other fields invisible from the item overview.
    Code :
    IF iv_fieldname eq 'BBPS_BID_UI_ITEM-PRICE'.
            cv_invisible = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
    IF iv_fieldname eq 'BBPS_BID_UI_ITEM-PRICE_UNIT'.
            cv_invisible = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
    Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to solve the problem ?
    Regards,
    Ajali Sen

  • Firefox does not open proprely on the page but forms only 1/3 of page

    When i open any site Firefox does not form properly on the page but takes up only 1/3 of the page (to the right).

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • I bought a macbook pro on november 2011 wich had Lion OS installed on it. Playback plug-in in Mainstage 2.1.3 does not play files from the beginning (it leaves out like 50 mSecs or so). Is there a way to revert to Snow Leopard OS?

    ...Is there any way I can install a partition that runs snow leopard on my early 2011 MB pro with what I have (new SSD, New RAM, Current version Lion running, no external drive, lack of original snow leopard disks [I lost them ] and the general 10.6.3 snow leopard boot disks)...
    As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17.  They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
    Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
    Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

  • I selected save password; but firefox does not have it in the list of saved passwords??

    I selected save password; but Firefox does not have it in the list of saved passwords??

    Firefox will only remember a password if you click the Remember button on the sliding bar at the top that opens when Firefox detects a password.<br />
    If you mean a check box on a web page to remember you then such a choice is stored in a cookie on your computer.
    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

  • Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the 'new tab' button. It says 'done' in the corner, but never opens a new tab.

    Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the button or the 'new tab' in file. I have restarted my computer, installed an update, and I still have the same problem browsing.

    In past threads, this problem has been linked with the Ask toolbar.

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not  delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

    I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

    This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
    Hope this helps!
