Firefox won't launch Zimbra Desktop for mailto links

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Core 2 Duo
Running Firefox 26.
Installed Zimbra Desktop Email client, when I click mailto links it only offers Yahoo and Gmail.
In IE and other programs Zimbra launches when I use email features of those programs.
Zimbra is set to default email client.
Also strangely enought the download button in the top right doesn't work, I can see downloads but when I click the button nothing.

Usually Firefox will discover your default email client through the registry and offer that one prominently.
Sometimes the file that stores file associations becomes corrupted with conflicting entries and no longer updates correctly. The workaround is simply to rename the file and have Firefox regenerate it. If you'd like to try that, here's what you do.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, wwitch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox. Hopefully now Zimbra will be detected and you can select it. Please note that if you previously changed your setting for PDFs from the built-in viewer to another one, you will need to change that again.

Firefox won't launch entourage email from email link on website. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8

since i upgraded to a more current version of Firefox, Firefox won't launch my Entourage email from an email link on websites. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8

It amuses me that the email that was sent to confirm the posting of this question had a clickable link. Naturally that link did not work. Cutting and pasting it into FireFox allowed me to complete the posting process. Annoying.

Safari and firefox won't launch and explorer opens but won't load correctly

Hi
Something weird is happening to our emac!
Got home yesterday after a few days away and all the apple aps have stopped working
Safari and itunes won't launch at all - they just bounce a couple of times in the dock - then nothing.
Firefox won't launch either - the only browser I can get to launch is explorer - and that won't load properly.
I've tried the software update - it says there's now software - but 'unexpectedly' quits if i try to download anything.
In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better.
I saw a thread earlier that suggested that rogue fonts might be to blame - which could be something because the only page that loads in explorer displays strangely with the fonts all over the place.
Any advice that someone could give would be much appreciated
thanks x

HI,
*"In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better."*
Better check the startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

Installation of Comodo Free Firewall Crashed System, Now Firefox Won't Launch

I installed Firefox 4, then my ZoneAlarm Free Firewall and Free AVG 2011 Antivirus were rendered incompatible. As a result, I installed Comodo Firewall --- I did not uninstall Zone Alarm or AVG. Comodo instructed me to restart the laptop in order to finish the successful install. When I restarted the laptop, it crashed. I restarted in Safe Mode and did a system restore ---went back 6 days. Now Firefox won't launch.
What happened and how can I fix it?

Hi thanks for that. I've been through those pages already. I think maybe my lack of knowledge is hindering me somewhat. However the page you linked assumes two things: I can see the processes on Task Manager and I can start up Firefox. The latter is unusual. You see when it suggests changing or creating a profile, I have to use the profile manager which is part of Firefox - which I can't open.
I don't think a previous session is still running because I've restored and installed so many times.
While I appreciate the speedy response, if anyone has any ideas using words, I'd be extremely grateful. :0)

Firefox won't launch and I can't get into Profile manager to make a new profile.

Whenever I try to launch Firefox it doesn't open. i've had this problem before and I fixed it using the profile manager, I'm trying to do the same thing this time. However the Profile Manager won't open at all.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe Mode</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut

Firefox won't open the toolbar for Roboform - it just shows "close" - it used to open the entire toolbar

Firefox won't fully open the Roboform Toolbar any more. It used to work well. Now when I click on View/Toolbars/Roboform it opens a blank toolbar with the only option as "close", which closes the toolbar. How do i get Firefox to make this work normally?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== A few days ago

RoboForm usually has an update ready for a new version of Firefox within a week of Mozilla releasing the new version of Firefox. You just need to install the latest Roboform '''adapter''' for Firefox.
Install the Roboform adapter for Firefox 3.0 - 3.7a1pre from here:
http://www.roboform.com/firefox.html
You want the one under '''Full RoboForm for Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape'''.
Browser Version XPI file to use if not installed automatically
'''Firefox 3.0 - 3.7a1pre ''Installed Automatically (roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi)'''''
Or, you can install it with this link:

Program won't launch on Mac for one user but will for another

We just installed a new program (that is Java based) that we are about to start using in our office. It is the WorkFlows client from SirsiDynix. It works fine on my MAC but 2 other users in our office have MACs and it won't launch. We have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. We created another user on one of the computers and installed the program and it launches fine. Both users are Administrators. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the program but still no luck. We have ran the Repair Permissions utility on the HD. Is there a tool or software that we can use to compare permissions or settings of the 2 users to find out why the program won't run under one of them?
We have Mac Mini OS X version 10.9.5
Thanks for any help you can give.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

Firefox 4 will not open thunderbird for mailto and Send links

I am using Windows 7 business.
Since update FF4 will not open Thunderbird when a mailto link or send link is clicked. My system has Thunderbird selected as the default mail client and these links work in other browsers.
Following some online help suggestions about selecting Firefox's default mail client:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Changing%20the%20e-mail%20program%20used%20by%20Firefox?s=mailto&as=s
There are no options for 'mailto' or 'mail' in the content type window.

I've suffered with this for weeks and finally worked around it.
Thunderbird was set as the default client, but it didn't work with some other clients as well, so I went to Default Programs / Set Default Programs, selected Thunderbird, which was already set as the default mail client, selected 'Choose defaults for this program' and hit Save. That fixed it for PDF Complete, but not for FF4.
In FF4, I changed the mailto option to Always Ask (it had been Thunderbird(default)), then chose Thunderbird as the client after picking Send Link. that worked, so the next time I checked the box in the dialog to always use Thunderbird and now it works. grrr.

Firefox won't launch even after re-install

Firefox hung and I forcequit. It would not restart. I cannot locate the sessionstore.js file -- it is not where Help says it should be. So I reinstalled it. It still won't launch. Then I restored it from Time Machine - still won't launch.
I cannot find any preferences files to remove.

hello pedro, this crash is caused by the "Media Accelerator" part your nvidia graphics driver. please see if you can selectively disable it in the nvidia control panel or even uninstall it. otherwise please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

Dock won't launch at startup for all users

Any thoughts on why the Dock app won't launch at startup. This happens for both my admin account and the guest account. I am running OSX 10.8.2 on a 2008 MacBook Pro. Previous to this issue I had been messing/deleting the plists associated with the Dock (as per other discussions) because of the Dock process taking up 100% of the CPU and getting the box hot. This issue has of course resulted in the Dock not appearing, as well as Alt-Tab not working, reminders not working menu bar, and other Dock functions. I can launch the Dock app via the terminal but it's still wonky, like the iTunes (newest) GUI doesn't function and the DVD player won't work (seems to be a similar GUI issue). For now I've stuck the Dock app in the users login preferences but that's a bad work around since there are the other symptoms that are still going on.
Thoughts?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application (Dock) or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Firefox won't launch--using Apple Snow Leop. Tried to download new FF but could not. Am working from Shanghai.

I used Firefox last night to check my bank account balance
Forgot to log off before going to bed.
In morning my Apple laptop was frozen, so I turned it off.
Then after restart Firefox would not launch.
I am using Safari to send this, but need to get back to Firefox.
I am a US citizen working at Tongji Univ. located in Shanghai.
thank you....paul j. tremont

Starman, I'm sorry to waste your time. I had been assured by my employer that our MSDN subscriptions were going to be renewed, but I just checked the subscription status and it shows that it expired July 1st. I had just used it right before the 1st, and I was thinking it didn't expire until the end of July. That would probably explain it, huh? It's weird though, that I'm not getting the grayed-out icons. Again, sorry to waste your time. Thanks. Joe

Is There a Way to Set Up Verizon e-Mail as Default for mailto: Links?

I am not technically savy so I need to have this question answered in an easy-to-understand manner (i.e. as if you're explaining to a 10-yo). Seriously. I would like my Verizon email account to open whenever I click on a web link for "mailto:" or if I merely want to send something from the web to one of my friends.
Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to put a shortcut for my Verizon email on my desktop?
Thank you for any help you can offer.
Using: Windows 7 Home Premium; 86-bit; Google, Firefox and IE 9 browsers (Google Chrome most of the time).

Hi...
The recomended way of setting up Applleds is to have one common one for "the Stores" (iTunes, App Store & Mac App store) so that all purchases are shared, then a seperate individual account for iCloud syncing EACH
So for instance you'd have [email protected] for the stores and [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] & [email protected] for the individuals
Thats' what I've done here for myself, mrs & 4 kids.
Regards,
Shawn

Launch Lotus Notes on MailTo links

Hello all,
On Windows 7 SP1 workstations we have Office 2010 installed. Some users are still on Lotus Notes and have not yet been migrated to Outlook/Exchange. We are deploying Lotus Notes on these workstations via App-V however. For those users who
have not yet migrated to Outlook when they click on a MailTo link it opens Outlook and asks to begin setting up a profile. The desired behavior we would like to see for these users is for App-V Lotus Notes to launch. We've tried implementing two
registry keys to resolve this, but Outlook is still launching. Is there any ability to get App-V Lotus Notes to launch when a user clicks a MailTo link?
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Application Virtualization Client\\sfttray.exe\" /launch \"Lotus Notes 8.5 8.5.24.11323\" -defini \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notes]
@="URL:Notes Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notes\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notes\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notes\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Application Virtualization Client\\sfttray.exe\" /launch \"Lotus Notes 8.5 8.5.24.11323\" -defini \"%1\""

You need Lotus Notes to be an Application Client (Under "Default Programs".) Like Nicke said, that's not actually supported until App-V 5 for applications outside of Office. Your registry entries would work once Lotus Notes got registered as your default
MAPI profile. The problem is getting them registered under first launch.

Why is Firefox opening a separate browser window for each link instead of a new tab in the current browser window?

Suddenly firefox has started opening a new, separate browser window for every link and thing I open. It used to just open a new tab in the current browser. I must have closed down 15 browsers when trying to get back to a previous web page - the back button doesn't work when each click leads to a new window opening! I went into options and my settings have not changed, they still say "open new tab" for links. This just started happening out of the blue today. What's up?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
