Firefox seems to be embedding links to non-related sites in my homepage

Here is the problem.
I go to my homepage, www.optuszoo.com.au There appears to be a link in one of the stories.
If I click the link I am taken to http://wn11.funatme.com/?sid=502&lpn=896314&kw=alert&uq=36645-1370292632
My question is, are the good people of Firefox doing this, as I can't see the links in Internet Explorer
I can’t see the link in Internet Explorer.
Many thanks, have a great day,
John Lawrence

The prime suspect is an extension. Could you review your installed extensions on the following tab and disable ALL nonessential, recently added, and unrecognized extensions? Then restart Firefox and test again:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Some of my website images with embeded links only show the link with firefox, with IE8 the image appears correctly, why does this happen

my website http://www.functionkey.net. If you view my homepage you will see that 3 of my images with embedded links only show up with the links. I am not using "_blank" in my code. The website was created using Microsoft Frontpage 2003.

If you look at the page source then you will notice that there are some errors with (missing) closing tags.<br />
Such errors shows as RED text.<br />
You need to correct at least all codes marked as red text.
The first <a> tag isn't closed here and you open a second <a>

Embedded links in emails won't open new window or tab in FF.

Running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and FF Version 3.6.12. I'm using Mail Version 4.4 as my email client and when I try and open an embedded link from an email, the link doesn't open a new tab or window. FF recognizes the link, but doesn't respond with a new tab or window. If I copy and paste the link into the browser the links work fine, so I feel like it's a setting or bug that has been changed somewhere somehow. This problem only happens when I try to click directly from the email. I've tried searching the preferences in both Mail and FF, but can't seem to find anything that fixes the problem. This issue started happening two weeks ago when I did the latest Mac OS X security update. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

2 issues: 1. Firefox crashes everytime I try to open QuickBooks online 2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. Please advise.

2 issues:
1. Firefox crashes every time I try to open QuickBooks online. I have submitted numerous crash reports.
2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. I have set the default to Microsoft Outlook and also tried changing it to Gmail. Each time I click an email link on any web site, however, it just opens up a blank page instead of one of my email programs.

I'm not clear on where you are seeing that text. When I view Google's cached page from the page found in this search
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asitetrail.com%2Faskearth.com
It doesn't match yours exactly. There is an iframe with a Google map in it in the "Hosting Analysis" section, which in your pasted page seems to be the "Site Server" section.
Which Google site did you search?

Firefox does not load embedded google calendar month view (2014)

Recently (first complaint today), all of our embedded google calendars on our site stopped loading in Firefox browsers. Specifically, it is the month view. The calendar actually loads and the contents can be seen on agenda and week views. However, Month view remains empty (A google calendar framework appears complete with the tools that might normally be there[month selection, print, view tabs] but the expected calendar is not there, so it is quite short).
We have 3 online google calendars that are injected with the <object data> call. All three work in Chrome and Safari as they are designed to work. This is only effecting Firefox (have not tested IE). I reset firefox, and started it in safe mode. I also downloaded and ran Firefox 33,32,30,28, and 15. It effects them all.
So far I have only tested this on a Mac with Firefox, Safari, and Chrome
Let me know if you have any suggestions or if there is more information you may need.
thanks

Thanks for the response. I do have data defined. However, type is not. The specs don't seem to make it necessary to specify both, but if that helps I can. The webconsole shows one error:
Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead. That is an error in the jquery javascript code though.
Firebug doesn't show anything in its console.
I used iframe and the behavior is exactly sthe same. I'm beginning to think this is a google calendaring issue instead.
Thanks again.

Embedded links in text no longer available in Yosemite's Messages?!

Hello! I've been using iChat and Messages for years with my co-workers and I've discovered that in Mac OS 10.10 embedded URL's no longer seem to be possible. I am used to selecting text, hitting [command]-K and pasting in a URL before I send a message, but now my only option is to past in an ugly, raw URL in my message. This is a huge problem when I send a link to a funny video or cat meme picture whose name or descriptor is in the URL, completely ruining the punch line. I have to tell the message's recipient not to read the URL but to simply click on it and trust me, which ruins the joke. How am I supposed to rickroll my friends? I can still embed a link in Mail or even TextEdit. Even in this online forum format I can link in that stupid Rick Astley video.
Dear Mr. Apple,
Please let me add embedded link to my messages in the Messages app in Mac OS 10.10.
Love,
Bruce

Hi,
From time to time the thinking on this seems to change.
AIM stopped their App and other Clients (at that time this included iChat) from sending hyperlinked text due to several incidents of malicious code in links.
Only plain text links could be sent.
Some time later, when people seemed to have forgotten about this the ability was added back.
It would seem that the issue is back again.

Firefox not displaying some images linked from Photobucket

Firefox 19.0 there is a website where they have a gallery of pictures all the images from the gallery are hosted on Photobucket, they use to show up as normal but now for some reason they don't, I tried clearing the cookies and the cache, I made sure the download images automatically is check and every other bit of advise I could find on the web to no avail.
One thing I notice though is if you right click the missing image to get to view image information you will see Location: the address of the image is correct (copy and paste in the address bar bring up the image)
Type: text/html (This is odd it should be img/jpeg)
Size: 0 kb (of course the image was not downloaded)
Dimension: 0 x 0 (again no image downloaded)
So if anybody has an idea how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The images on that page aren't links to real images, but at least currently link to an html page (page info > media shows type text/html).<br />
You can see that if you right-click an image and open the image in a new tab by middle clicking the View Image entry in the right-click context menu.<br />
Firefox seems to have a problem to display the image in this case.

Firefox freezes when using "Save link as" or doing anything that needs to browse local file directory?

System: Windows XP, Firefox 17.0.1.
Firefox freezes when doing anything that needs to browse local directory such as saving file, uploading, etc....For example, can't save any image using "save link as". When attaching a file in email, whenever the browsing to other location on the hard drive will freeze firfox, which turns to "not responding"....

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
#Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Embedded link not showing up in Illustrator

I had a client send me a word document as a pdf which I dropped into Illustrator to make it print ready. When I pulled the file into Illustrator, two of the embedded links, which happened to be the logo of said client, did not show up. The file is in the links panel and shows it as embedded, I can even see the bounding box when I hover over where the logos are supposed to be. However, when I open the file in adobe reader or acrobat, or even preview, those logos show up. Illustrator showed no errors and none of us caught it so it was printed without the logos.
Is there an explanation for this and how can I check for it in the future just in case it happens again?

You may need to get the embedded files from the person who authored the Word doc. and relink them to have them show up correctly. I'm not the biggest expert on Word but it may have something to do with the way the PDF was created from Word. Best way to prevent this from happening again would be to make sure if you have embedded files in a PDF you are opening in Illustrator that you address each one with caution. Select the links, one at a time in the links panel and click the go to link icon in the bottom of the links panel. This will highlight the link and zoom you into its location, if you see nothing, no graphic in the linked graphic area then you most likely need to get these graphics from the Word author and Relink them into the Illustrator file. Other possability would be to find out if there is a preset for PDF creation you could supply to the Word author that allows him/her to create PDF files that work for you.

How do I set Firefox 8 to mark accessed links as read?

Firefox used to indicate which links provided in a search list had been accessed by changing the color in a read link. That seems to have disappeared in Firefox 8. I cannot find a setting to recreate that function.

Hey, cor-el -- long time no see! Hey, I have a problem, & my brain isn't working well enough to suss it out at the moment. :(
For some reason in the last week or so, links selected from either bookmarks or address bar no longer open automatically on selection, plus google search has disappeared from the nav toolbar . (Don't ask "what add-ons have you updated?" I don't know, & the add-on manager says I haven't done any recently.)
I checked about:config for browser.search.openintab; value is still set true. I toggled it false, restarted FF, then re-toggled true & another restart -- no joy. :(
I'm running 7.0.1 (release channel) on my work machine & the latest 8.x beta candidate at home; both exhibit the same behavior, so I'm assuming it's not a beta bug. What am I missing? I know it has to be something simple, but my brain refuses to compute. I know I could use safe mode & successively re-enable my add-ons, but I don't really have the time or mental clicks available.
I'm hoping it's something simple since I really don't have time to plod through everybloodydangthing for the one bad value that I'm sure is causing it. :/
Regards & Happy Monday!

Embedding linked PSD's in AI using AS/JS

Hi,
I am looking at a way of embedding linked PSD files into an AI doc using either Applescript or Javascript. The AI docs I work with already have the PSD's placed as linked images. I am using Illustrator CS2 (12.0.1) on a Mac, running OS 10.4.10.
I need to ensure that the PSD files are embedded with the "Convert Photoshop layers to options" option set, so that the blending options set on the PSD layers are honoured when brought into Illustrator. This works fine when done manually, as the "Photoshop Import Options" window appears for each PSD I embed.
I encounter a problem when trying to embed a PSD using AS/JS though. In both cases, there are no options available to be used in conjunction with the 'embed' command. 'Embed' seems to assume and use the "Flatten Photoshop layers to a single image" option, which does not honour the PSD layer blending settings.
i Things tried:
*tried setting the Photoshop options to preserve layers in AS prior to running 'embed' i.e.
>set photoshopOptions to {class:Photoshop options, preserve layers:true, pixel aspect ratio correction:false}
>set IllustratorPreferences to {class:Illustrator preferences, Photoshop file options:photoshopOptions}
I have tried the equivalent in JS too.
I can see that the preference is being set, but this still has no effect on the 'embed' command as these prefs relate to opening PSD files in AI only (same "Photoshop Import Options" window though?!)
*have looked at UI Scripting in AS - I am able to select and press the "Embed" button in the Control Palette in AI, but AI does not respond at all, i.e. I can see the "Embed" button change colour when clicked but nothing else. Other UI elements in AI respond correctly to being clicked, just not the buttons in the Control Palette.
So any help/guidance/suggestions etc would be greatly appreciated.

You need to expand and ungroup after the trace. Then delete the white you do not want. I missed a little piece in the last screen shot. But you get the idea. I put a black background behind the trace.

Firefox Mobile for Android download link = FAIL... Yeah it doesn't work....

I've tried to download the beta with my phone, with firefox, and with IE. The link is broken, or non existent... I've tried it for about two weeks now.

The link to download Firefox from the Android Market will not work on phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is compatible here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly from here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

I could not see how to continue after upgrade to firefox 4. This has never been a problem with ast upgrades. I am finding Firefox to be very user unfriendly for non-tech people.

I am being told that my current version of firefox is no longer protected. When I tried to upgrade to firefox 4 some time ago, the menu bar(?) was gone--no bookmarks. I set my computer back to an earlier date to get my book marks back and have been afraid to attempt this upgrade again. Firefox also appears to have tried to do the upgrade automatically and says I have incompatible add-ons. I have never had problems with previous updates. I have read negative reviews of firefox 4 and am frankly afraid of it. I hate to leave firefox and am afraid of losing my book marks as well. I find the "Help" forums etc. here extremely difficult to navigate and they seem to be aimed at people who are more tech savy than many of us are.

#Firefox 3.5.19 which you are using is no longer supported and is not being updated for any issues, including security problems.
#The Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) was replaced in Firefox 4 by the "Firefox button" in the upper left corner
#*You can turn the Menu Bar back on by doing one of the following in Firefox 4:
#**click Firefox button, click Options, click Menu Bar to select it
#**HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTM
#**right-click on an empty space in the Navigation Toolbar, then click Menu Bar to select it.
#Some information about Firefox 4 changes:
#*https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/
#*there is a link "watch the video" under '''''Improved Interface''''' on the above page
#You can make Firefox 4 look more like prior versions: http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/
Your bookmarks should be safe during the upgrade; they are in a separate place on your hard drive. You should keep them backed-up in case of any problems with your system. See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information#w_backing-up-your-profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

After upgrading I get comerical tabs opening when I click on embedded links.

I installed firefox 28 over my existing installation. Now when I click on embedded links half the time an additional tap will open for some commercial site. Any suggestions on stopping this.

Can you check your download history to see whether you got an unofficial installer bundle with some unwanted extras from a strange site?
To tame the ads, try this: Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the extra tabs?
If unwanted extensions lack a Remove button, this usually indicates it was installed by other software on your computer. Time to visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click "Installed on" to group by date and reveal secret bundled items you may have accepted. Probably best to remove everything recently added that you do not actually know to be useful.
Finally, you may want to run some extra scans to mop up any lurking crap. This article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Any luck?
