Firefox doesn't mark threads or links as read

If I am on a forum or web page and I click on a link or thread Firefox does not mark it as read by changing the color of the link. How do I get this back. It happens with no extensions or themes and in safe mode.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser. Sorry, but your problem isn't with Firefox.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, please Tag this thread as being for Thunderbird in the right-hand column of this page. This question currently is in the Firefox queue for answers.

Firefox doesn't display content, especially links.

This is my problem in a screenshot: http://d.pr/i/DjkB
The content isn't displayed and especially links. Links are always not there and sometimes text is displayed but all websites are disfunctional because of this.
Here's a link to a screenshot displaying how the same website should look like: http://d.pr/i/ZRvN

Did you manage to find out which font Firefox is using in the case when text doesn't display?
You will have to remove or update that font. 
You can also check that font in Fontforge.

Updated Firefox doesn't like to use Adobe Acrobat reader to read pdf files. Why

Since I have upgraded to a newer version of Firefox, I can no longer read or print most pdf files found on the internet with Adobe Acrobat reader. This is very frustrating. It has been happening for the past 3 weeks.

Firefox 13.0 marks my "New" emails as "Read" even if I haven't read them yet

When I go to read my emails, I will notice I have emails that I "did not" read as having been "read".
They are not "highlighted" letting me know that they are "new". Is anyone else experiencing this?

I couldn't reproduce this and I just sent myself a test email from my gmail account. Are you using the new Yahoo Mail interface or the old one?

Is there a way for not book marking the same link Again and again ?

When I browse the web i keep book marking stuffs i feel intrested in. But the problem is i may book mark the same page again since i look up to my book marks maybe weeks later. So is there a way to stop this. maybe some think like a pop up menu reminding me i have already book marked this page.
I would also like to know is there a way to arrange book marks in order. Like the links from same page get organize together. Similar stuffs automatically gets sorted out. any thing like that..?

You can't avoid that if you drag a link. 
If you drag a link to a folder then Firefox doesn't check if the link already exists as this is a way to have multiple copies of a bookmark in addition on to a copy/paste. 
To avoid having multiple bookmarks of the same link you would have to click the star on the location bar twice to bookmark the link and subsequently open the Edit This Bookmark dialog.

Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

When I click on a link within a website to open a document (word, excel etc.), Firefox doesn't open it. Even when I tell it to open in a new window, it just opens a blank tab labeled "untitled."

When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 2 months ago?

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

I try to email or IM a link or comment on a website page and I get this error message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (ymsgr) isn't associated with any program.

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (ymsgr) isn't associated with any program. I try to email or IM a link or info on a web page I get this error message. How can I send an email or IM?

Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...
Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:

Can't open any links within the emails using Firefox. I can open them in other browsers however. The message reads, "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program.". How can I fix this?

Looks like blocking software to purposely block a page by messing with the url.

When i click on a hiper link, i get the following response: firefox doesn't know how to open this adress, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program.

when i click on a hyper-link, i get the following response: firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program.
My question is: how do i get this hyper-link to open?

You have blocking software to change the url to prefix blocked to the url to get '''blockedhttp:''' to prevent you from opening the file. It might be the "Blocksite" extension, but I just typed in something I blocked into the location bar and I didn't see that happen. but that might not be the same as clicking on a link.

Maybe it's from the blocked sites list used by Firefox and other browsers maintained at google, or a parental controls application.

I am trying to get Firefox to open Vuze when I click on a magnet link, I get the following message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any programme. tell me the solution

when i try to open torrent using magnet, I get the following message. Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't association to any programme.

'''I had this problem and just re-installed Firefox. Problem solved. In my case I believe it was due to installing FlashGet. Though I uninstalled FlashGet, it had pre-empted the Magnet links / protocol. I hope this helps you with your instance. Happily I had the installer for my version of Firefox (7.0.1) saved and used that but you might need to search for your current version or install a later version'''

When I add an email address or website to an email Firefox doesn't highlight it so people can just click on the link

When I'm typing an email to forward to someone and I add an email address or website link Firefox doesn't highlight it so the link can be clicked on by the person I'm sending the email to. This problem doesn't occur when I use Internet explorer to login to my email. It automatically highlights the link so it can be clicked on and re-directed to the email address or website. How can I remedy this?

Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic. 
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button). 
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink. 
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

Firefox doesn't recognize some links on a home utility website

I logged on to my gas utility provider. There is a link that asks you to choose the region where you are receiving the service. The link opens up a pop-up which offers you links to all the available regions. When I click on my link, nothing happens, except for the url showing on the bottom of the browser as if I am only hovering. Other links on this pop-up work. I would think this is a current broken link on the website, BUT, the link works fine in internet explorer!
There is a trick I can use to open the link: I can right-click on the link, and choose open link in another tab, and the link then works. This is driving me mad. One time I saw a 2 second comment about my K-9 security software, but it was too fast to actually read it. I've used this site countless times and never had a problem. There are a number of places on the site that offer this pop-up. It always refuses to acknowledge regular clicking on the link I need.
Again, I would think this has something to do with the website itself, or the K-9 protection I saw for that split second, but the reality is, it's NOT happening in Internet Explorer, only in firefox.
I tried clicking on this link from firefox safe mode, but that didn't work either. I know I can continue using my "trick", but I don't like that firefox is simply refusing to recognize and connect to a link for no apparent reason. I've emptied my cache, deleted all my cookies, history, logins, and anything else that
might be preserving some kind of glitch that may have occured once. I've closed and re-opened firefox. I've closed and restarted my whole computer. Firefox refuses to respond to this link, without my using the "right click - open in another tab trick".
Does anyone have any other ideas of what to tweak?

It looks like an overlay in the page rather than a separate pop-up window. Firefox's pop-up permissions do not apply to overlays.
Did this problem just start after August 6th? Firefox 23 has a new mixed content blocker which could affect sites that are showing an insecure (HTTP) overlay on an secure (HTTPS) page. Typically a "shield" icon would appear to the left of the URL on the address bar. This article has more information about how to recognize that situation and deal with it: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]
Does that seem relevant?

I am trying to get to a college webpage for information and get this error message from firefox Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (html) isn't associated with any program.
== This happened ==

== whe trying to access webpage

Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu.

Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?

Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?
When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

As people posted, You can select whatever language you want instead at the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the download button.
