Firefox shows Fatal Failure when clicking on embedded URL Link

I use Mozilla Firefox 3.6.11 as my default web browser, on Windows 7.
I have a web-site at http://www.over-count.org.uk which has dedicated Pay-Pal “Donate” buttons embedded in html code Links on the home page, so that visitors can click on them to donate to us via Pay-Pal.
However, if I'm using Firefox as my web browser, clicking on either of these links only results in a Message appearing stating “Fatal Failure”.
If I use Internet Explorer 7 as my browser, and then click on the same Pay-Pal links, both work perfectly, and takes me to my dedicated Pay-Pal “Donations Page”
Also, using Firefox and accessing my Pal-Pal account via the 'normal' log-in procedure, there is no problem- it seems to be with linking to the https/ secure server via an embedded link.
Is this a known problem with using Firefox, or do I need to have a different html code inserted on my web-site publisher?
Any advice or solution would be appreciated, thanks,
David Grieve, Scotland.

It also works if that page is not in a frame: http://over-count.weebly.com/

HT202181 10.9 and 10.10 mounts the folder and not the sharepoint when clicking on a URL link

I have tested this on several computers and it appears that 10.9 and 10.10 have reverted to mounting the folder and not the sharepoint, similar to 10.6-10.6.6.

How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?

Hi Folks,
How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?
I go in-and-out of the iPod app quite a lot (I use the iPad to help me while practicing music and I use multiple apps), so it's frustrating to have to constantly close the album artwork.
Apologies - I saw many threads about this but none that answered how to ALWAYS stop iTunes from jumping to artwork. If I missed the correct thread, I would appreciate a link.
Thank you.

That's what I thought - Apple generally has clean interfaces, so if I can't find an option to do something, it probably doesn't exist.
Thank you for a quick answer - and yes, I'll add this feedback.
I also just dropped Google feedback to PUT THE HOME LINK BACK IN THEIR LOGO.
What madness came over them to remove it??
I heard their engineers had a battle over this decision as well.

Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
Thank You!
I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
I have:
Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

Yahoo is my home page and News, Sports, Business links now shows a few sentences after each main URL link. How do I put it back to show just the URL links?

Yahoo is my home page and News, Sports, Business categories/links changed and now shows a few sentences after each main URL link/topic. How do I put it back to show just the URL links/topics without having to scroll down and down the page. All the extra sentences after the links causes too much scrolling to view the topics.

Those steps did not solve my problem. Here is an example of what I see although it's not exact copy/paste. All I want to see are the links but I get all the verbiage after the links

Firefox crashes/hangs when clicking on bookmark toolbar links

Hello. I have had an issue for the last 6-8 months at least, where during daily use, Firefox will crash or frequently hang when clicking on a frequently used bookmark on the bookmarks toolbar. One such bookmark opens a pop up window to enter data and uses javascript, but it also happens with other bookmarks. The error prompt firefox shows is "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working" and sometimes, not always, give me a chance to make/send a crash report, which I have done several times. I then have to restart the browser. The crashes don't happen every time I click on a bookmark, but at least a few times a day. Sometimes, the browser will instead hang for 3-10 seconds and will not crash.
I have gone through all the normal troubleshooting suggestions. Not long ago, in an attempt to find a solution, I made a new Firefox profile and enabled as few extensions and plugins as possible. The crashes still happened. I have more extensions and plugins installed now, but still as few as possible. The computer is virus and spyware free.

Any help would be appreciated. Attaching a recent crash report, I have more available.

I ran Firefox all yesterday with hardware acceleration off. It didn't crash but began to hang for a few seconds a few times when I clicked on a toolbar link. Today I experienced more hangs, and it did finally just crash like usual.
Not sure if it helps but I'll include the new crash report.

Firefox won't open when clicked on

It does the windows loading symbol and then doesn't open. Only just installed it as I'm currently using google chrome and it won't let me open it.

Both thunderbird and firefox crash my computer when clicked on

I turned off my computer yesterday in anticipation of a nearby tornado. When I turned it back on, both of my Mozilla products--Firefox and Thunderbird--shut down the computer when clicked on. Internet Explorer works fine. I had to have my entire Windows 7 reinstalled recently for what the techie called "a Mozilla related problem" that he couldn't understand. Now the trouble has reappeared the first time the computer was totally turned off. What to do now?

Please help me figure out how to re-install either firefox or safari. I erased both of the applications and my laptop has no internet.
I assume you say "no internet" access because of no browser.
This terminal command will download Safari Version 5.0.5 to your home folder from terminal.app ( no browser) copy and paste:
curl -o Safari.dmg -R http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Safari5/041-0564.20110413.Fi9pb/Safari5.0.5SnowLeopard.dmg
note: you can cd to Desktop to download to Desktop instead of home folder, before you start the above download:
cd to Desktop
After download is complete click the .dmg and install as usual.

Firefox won't open when clicked in the dock on my Mac

Mac Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8, Firefox icon in dock, won't open when clicked

As a point of clarification, does Firefox launch if you double click it from your Applications folder through the desktop (Finder)? If yes, right click (or Ctrl-click) on the Firefox icon in your Dock and choose Remove From Dock, then drag it on again from your Applications folder. The only other thing I can think is if it's already running but with its window hidden, clicking it again in the Dock might not be bringing it up. In that case try a Force Quit (from the Apple menu at top-left of your screen, click Force Quit..., choose Firefox in the list and click the Force Quit button).

I get "application not found" when clicking on a http link in a mail, even after having set firefox as the default program for http links.

After installing firefox 15.0, I can not open links form email or other office 2010 applications. I get "application not found" error. I tried setting firefox as the default program both manually (in the Windows default program panel) and automatically (having Firefox to do it automatically on startup (tools->options->advanced->General). I still have the error.

That sounds odd. Is this error coming from a particular e-mail program you're using? It could be that that program has its own settings for which web browser to launch, ignoring the "default browser" setting in Windows.
Does the same thing happen if you click on a web link from any other external (non-browser) application on your computer? If it happens with other apps too, I would suggest to re-download and install Firefox (www.mozilla.org) and see if that takes care of it.

How to stop firefox from opening new ad tabs when clicking on a legit link or even a blank space?

This has been going on for months now in every computer in my house. If I go to any legitimate website and click on a legitimate link (not and ad) a new tab opens up to either a bogus virus warning, an ad page, or a survey. I have reset Firefox to default conditions several times without any results. I have Kaspersky Internet Security 14 and ran a scan (no virus found). I have Hitman Pro and ran a scan again without results. I have also ran Malaware Bytes, and Norton Power Eraser to no avail.
Mozilla has to do something about this as it is happening to may users.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Why do I not get the checkout option when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

No the person who can check out using the link in the email has the same permissions as me. We have looked at all kinds of settings, profile etc and nothing evident can be determined to explain the reason. However, one difference we did notice is that this person does not have a default web browser set and thus when clicking on items to open, it always pops up a dialog box asking which program to use to open it with. This person chooses Adobe Reader and it opens on the Sharepoint server as it should and she gets the checkout option in a dialog box just like clicking on the document in the library. My theory is that this step of choosing the program to open with is interrupting the typical way a pdf file is handled when clicking on URL links to the document, which is…. it is opened as temporary internet file rather than on the Sharepoint server. Hopefully someone can figure this out ☺

How to open reports in same portlet when clicked on item report links in menu portlet

Hi,
I am not sure what forum I should ask this question. Anyway, I am trying in the content areas forum.
Let me explain what I trying to do.
I have reports links as menu item links in a menu. I have published this menu to portal and added it to a page. I can now see the report links. If I now click on the report link, it opens the report in a whole window. How do I open the report in the same portlet or if this is not possible, how do I open this in a different portlet on the same page ?
thanks for helping.
Mainak

Hi,
This is part of JPDK. You will have to install it. Which version of portal are you using? You can also try this out using
URL portlet which is available with webview in 309.
Thanks,
Sharmila
