Firefox refuses to display some emails that do display in Internet explorer

This problem has been going on for some time. I get automatic emails from Redstate. Since I can read them on IE, but not on Firefox, I wonder why.

Hello nanemy1854, set also firefox as default browser in Add or Remove Programs list in win xp, see for more information : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work#w_windows-xp Firefox as default browser in win xp].
thank you

On your iPad - go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Load Remote Images>On. Try that first.
You can also try a reset. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail and all other apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Why can't I delete some emails that have no content?

I have some emails that when I try to delete them the email app closes I cannot even select the email without the app closeing

Did you try swiping the emails from the list view? You don't have to open the emails - just swipe on the message in the list from left to right and a red delete button pops up.
Try resetting the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 101-5 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.
You can try closing mail as well. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close it. Restart the iPad - by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if you can delete the emails now.

In Mac OS X Mail some emails are not displaying the correct font size.

I have set my Mail to display email messages (Inbox) to Courier 13 point (easy to read) and most messages are displayed that way, however I often get emails that are displayed in unreadably small and often colored type. I don't understand why this is ... could someone explain how to fix this? Thanx.

The email was probably sent from Outlook as RTF or HTML. You can tell Mail to display those as plain text as well by opening Terminal and typing this command (quit Mail first):
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
See http://www.hawkwings.net/2005/09/27/viewing-html-messages-in-apple-mail/ for more information.

I think that all of my mail settings are accurate, but there are some emails that are not making it to my inbox.

Why might some emails that go to my .mac account not make it into my inbox?

This appears to be a continuation of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1019514 So I will close this thread. Please continue discussion on the original thread.

Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line

Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line.
My preview shows first three lines of email, but when I chose the email specifically mail doesn't display any lines of text. Been this way for about ten days. Please help. Ben

Awesome. Rebooting the phone worked. I had never turned the phone off before (for the next guy - you hold down the "sleep" button for longer than you'd think and that'll do a full shutdown). thank you for your help.

I have no COLOR TYPE in my EARTHLINK email..but DO on INTERNET EXPLORER.

I am a "newbie" on the computer.
I use EARTHLINK as my email provider.
When I use FIREFOX .... I can NOT TYPE in "COLOR" when sending email.
When I use INTERNET EXPLORER .... I DO HAVE COLOR when sending email.
WHY? HOW can I correct this?

When websites provide features to compose a message, they sometimes offer different features to different browsers. Without creating an Earthlink account, it's hard for me to know whether that is the problem here, or whether something in Firefox or one of your add-ons might be blocking a tool the sites is trying to display...

Photos in some emails don't display they will with live mail

Some emails don't download photos and these photos don't come as attachments they are part of the original email. I checked that the photos have been sent in live mail which i want to move away from.It has not happened a lot. I can see no difference with the emails as i receive many emails from this person with photos as part of the email.

Some emails, that are on my server, do not appear in my thunderbird listing (or do appear one day and not thereafter), why?

I seem to be loosing some emails. They may (or may not) appear once in the thunderbird listing, but thereafter they are gone. These, typically are from the same source that have previously been received (ie follow up emails) but, once gone from the listing, are not grouped with the previous email or put in the TRASH file.

There are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.

Even though Firefox is my default browser, I get emails with links to webpages that come up in Internet Explorer, how do i fix this?.

My default browser used to be Internet Explorer. I use Outlook Express for my emails. My OS is Windows XP.
A few days ago, I changed my default browser to Firefox.
This morning I received an email with a link to a web page which came up in Internet Explorer, even though my default browser is now Firefox.
I would like the links to web pages provided in my emails to come up with Firefox instead of Internet Explorer which, I understand, can't be uninstalled since it is intertwined somehow with my Windows XP operating system.
Thanks for any help you can supply.

Firefox can not access some sites that use identification system type "captcha." As you enter characters returns error response. With IE it does not.

My desktop using Win 7 Ultimate. On every page that gives error in entering the captcha characters, if you use Internet Explorer I get by with success.

hello edalsi, maybe one of your addons is interfering here - can you try launching firefox in safemode once and see if the problem is occurring there too...

I cannot open PDF links in Firefox. However, I can open those same links with Internet Explorer. This failure has happened since downloading FF 4.0. What did that "upgrade" change so that these PDF links do not open?

I use TD Waterhouse Webbroker, which has links to PDF documents. These links have always opened - that is until I "upgraded" to the latest Firefox version (I think it's 4.0). Now those same PDFs do not open. I cross-checked with the arch enemy, Internet Explorer. Those same PDFs opened in Internet Explorer. So Firefox, what did you do in the latest "upgrade" that has altered the way the browser handles PDF files on Webbroker??

Hi tlaclair, when I click that link, here is what I see (observed using the Fiddler2 program, which intercepts web traffic between your browser and websites):
(1) The server at link.p0.com sets 1 cookie and redirects to http://t.mookie1.com/t/v1/event?migClientId=181&migAction=email-click&migSource=mig&migDest=http%3a%2f%2forder.dominos.com
(2) Firefox follows the redirect and the server at t.mookie1.com sets 3 cookies and redirects to http://order.dominos.com
(3) Firefox follows the redirect and the server at order.dominos.com redirects to a secure session ([https://order.dominos.com/])
These kinds of redirects are completely standard; if you set Firefox to warn you about redirects, then a bar usually appear below the address where you can click an Allow button to continue. You can check whether you have this feature turned on here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General
If Firefox isn't blocking the redirect, it's possible that one of your add-ons is doing it. A standard diagnostic for interference by add-ons is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If the link works correctly, this points to one of your add-ons or custom settings as the problem.
Any change?

When clicking on an Email link it defaults to Internet Explorer browsing and I want it to use the Firefox browser

An email will have a "Click here" link and when I click it goes to a internet explorer browsing, not a firefox browser

That is is always a problem when you are using multiple profiles and Firefox isn't running.
It might work if no profile is selected (i.e. marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini).<br />
You can use desktop shortcut that open with a specific profile (-P "profile").<br />
There is also a setting in the Profile Manager (Don't ask at startup).

The new version of Firefox won't let me access the internet. How do I fix that? I hate Internet Explorer!

On Saturday, 5/10/14, I was using Firefox at work with zero issues. I attended to work briefly, and when I looked back I saw the status bar saying my "add-ons" were being checked. Ever since then, Firefox WILL NOT connect to the internet, and I am forced to use Internet Explorer, and THAT jams more than I am willing to tolerate. I have no idea what actually was done, from a technical perspective. I tried system restore, and even found the link with the older versions of Firefox on it, but its all code, and way above what I know how to do with computers.

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

I have 1500 bookmarks that were transferred from Internet Explorer as favorites but they are now uncatagorised and unlabeled - how do I delete some of them or put them into groups?

I was using AOL 9 with Internet Explorer and saved 15oo Youtubes as "favorites". I changed to Firefox and upgraded to AOL 10 - my favorites now appear as bookmarks but they aren't arranged in groups (guitar, drums, blues, country, lessons...etc.) and there aren't names to identify them. Do I have to delete all of them and start afresh and if si - how do I delete some of them?

* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
