Hyperlinks in Entourage and Word stopped opening a tab in Firefox

Firefox support page suggested setting Connection to Auto-Detect but this did not resolve issue.
Firefox 3.6.10, Entourage 12.2.9, Mac OS 10.6.5, Word Mac 2008 12.2.9
Hyperlinks don't do anything - they don't launch Safari either.

I uninstalled Viewpoint Media Player, which fixed my problem with the plugincheck tab always opening. Viewpoint Media Player is responsible for the plugin called "MetaStream 3 Plugin r4", and I believe this plugin is triggering Firefox to open the plugincheck page. It is not enough to disable the plugin, it must be uninstalled.
Since it seems you don't have the "MetaStream 3 Plugin", it may be that some other plugin is causing the plugincheck tab to pop open. Try going to Tools (menu) -> Add-ons -> Plugins. Look through the list of plugins, and see if any of them have a red warning icon next to them. If one of the plugins has a red warning icon, it may be the plugin responsible for triggering the opening of the tab. Try uninstalling that plugin, or updating it to a newer version.

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

I finally managed to fix this problem! You have to go into your program files and you will see another bearshare folder, this has two add on components for firefox. Go into the folders, and find the uninstall program tools.
One of them will uninstall here. There is a program called media mrg or something along those lines in your add ons for firefox. You need to delete this, and it should stop bearshare popping up in the tabs. Then just to make sure, I went back and deleted the bearshare folder. You know you have disabled all the right components when it will finally let you delete the folder.

Cant open another tab in firefox

I cant open another tab in firefox, and it doesn't keep any of my addresses in firefox in the tool bar? ive removed and re downloaded and nothing. its acting funny and nothing im doing is working any sujestions?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the 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]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all 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")

I cannot open new tabs in Firefox, either with CTRL+T or with the mouse right click or click on the tab icon.

I have this problem as well. I could not see the ask toolbar in firefox, yet in the add or remove programs it was installed. As soon as I uninstalled it, I could open tabs again!
Thanks guys!

Can a Hyperlink be created in Word to open to a specific PDF bookmark?

I'm learning to create & use PDF files so excuse my newbiness...
I want to create a Word document (eventually converted to PDF) with a Hyperlink so that it opens a separate PDF file and immediately position to a particular Bookmark.
I am able to create a Hyperlink in Word which opens the PDF file in Adobe reader, but I don't know how to position to a particular Bookmark in the PDF file.
Is this possible?
TIA

A Word Hyperlink to a PDF can only provide, in the PDF made from the Word file, a link to the PDF file.
A Word Hyperlink to a Word bookmark that is in the Word file becomes a viable link in the output PDF (if Adobe PDFMaker is configured properly).
A Word Hyperlink in a Word file (Doc1) to a bookmark in a different Word file (Doc2) will be a link to the other file only when Doc1 is processed to create a PDF.
A Word cross-reference, to something in the Word file, that has the 'use as/show as hyperlink' feature selected will be a viable link in the output PDF.
With proper configuration in Word and of Adobe PDFMaker a Word generated TOC (for the open Word file being worked) can result in viable links in the output PDF.
Once you have the PDF you can use Acrobat's Link tool to developed more refined links.
fwiw - In context of setting up more refined links within a document and between documents much more can be done with FrameMaker & InDesign than with Word.
Be well...

Entourage and Word 2001

Hi, I am not sure where to find help on this but I going to give it a try here. I have an emac with 9.2 running. I have Office 2001 installed. Whenever I try to open the Entourage or Word application I keep getting a message saying "type 2 error you should have save your work" I can open Excel and Powerpoint with no problems. I stupidly did not back up my emails now I am worried that I may lose them all. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

Nyo,
The first thing to do is to backup all your existing emails. In OS9, they should be in the Documents/Microsoft User Data folder in the top of your boot disk.
Then get to the mactopia website at microsoft to make sure you have all the necessary patches applied to Office 2001. (I'm not a believer in giving people links to exact pages, put mactopia into Google and be amazed how easy it is to find things for yourself).
Do you have virtual memory turned on ? If you have 1G or more of memory in the eMac, VM will be off. This has caused issues for me with Word (but not Entourage) in the past.
This could also be caused by (one or more) corrupt fonts, Word likes to display the Font menu using the actual font, annoying for symbol fonts.
I'm at a bit of a loss to work out what Entourage could be complaining about.
Could be corrupt preferences. Find and trash them from the Preferences folder on your System Folder. They could even be in a Microsoft folder within there.
Finally could be a corrupt application. MS are keen users of self-modifying code since Word 3.0. You could try a reinstall of Word or Entourage (aren't you glad you backed up your mail).
After all this, and you still get the same error, should we consider a corrupt mail file. Even then, Entourage can make an effort to recover the mail.
How big is the mail file ? And how much free space is on the internal hard disk ?
After all the above, I'm hoping that even if it still doesn't work, you're getting a more descriptive error message.

Dock disappears and Word documents open

I'm having trouble lately where the dock is disappearing for a moment, and when it comes back a bunch of Word documents open up all over the screen. They pop up all over the place and then settle with different ones open and in the foreground.
Is there any place I can check to see why the dock is disappearing, or a way to stop my documents from opening up each time this happens?

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. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process (Dock) in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
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.

PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

Bookmark bar and menu stop working after awhile on Firefox 12

I have upgraded to Firefox 12. Everything works fine when I start up Firefox, but after some amount of use (and I can't always reproduce this) eventually when I click on bookmarks in my Bookmark Bar or from the Bookmark menu, nothing happens. Firefox doesn't load the bookmark. If I open the "Show All Bookmarks" window and click on bookmarks there, they load fine and then the menu and bookmark bar suddenly start working again. If I close the "Show All Bookmarks" window the Bookmark Bar and menu stop working again.

Hi ischou,
I haven't heard of this particular issue, but you might want to try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. Let is sit for a while as you described above and if you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!

Firefox will only open once from desktop and won't open new tabs or windows

When I clicked on Firefox's desktop icon this morning it took a solid 5 minutes for the browser window to open, and at that time I just chalked it up to my computer being slow.
Once it did open I soon encountered the first problem: when I clicked on "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Tab" nothing happened. Subsequently, when I did navigate to a website I was unable to click on any links whatsoever. I closed the window and tried to restart Firefox which is when I ran into the second problem: it wouldn't open. I opened the Task Manager and terminated firefox.exe, attempted to open via both the desktop icon and program folder but had no luck. If I restart my computer I'm able to open just the one browser window but with the same results of the first issue I mentioned.
I've tried all of Mozilla's troubleshooting tips in the "Firefox will not start" section with no luck. I've also uninstalled then reinstalled with no luck.

How do I open additional tabs in Firefox Home? I can see the tabs screen but it's blank and I can't find a way of opening a page in a new tab. Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1.

How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.

That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.

Can I open multiple tabs in Firefox when WINDOWS starts up? Command line limits to about 204 characters...

I know how to configure Firefox so that it opens multiple tabs every time you open ''Firefox''. I want it to open multiple tabs when I start ''Windows''. Or in other words, I don't want to connect to multiple web pages every time I open a browser, just the first time I log on for the day.
I tried appending the web sites in the command line of a Firefox shortcut in my Windows Startup folder. The problem is that in this approach, you're limited to as many URL's as you can type in about 204 characters ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' uses up 52 of the 256 characters available in a shortcut).
Is there a way to open more tabbed web sites than that?
What would be cool is if there was something like a FFstartup.ini file or something, where you could provide a list of websites as long as you want, and it would open them all. So, the command line would look like:
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\FFstartup.ini'
...and the FFstartup.ini file would look like:
[Startup]
'http://www.yahoo.com'
'http://www.google.com'
'http://www.firefox.com'
etc...
If there's no current way to do this, how would I make this suggestion to be developed?
Thank you!

Use a .bat or .cmd file to start Firefox if you need more space than the target line in a shortcut allows. 
Separate the URLs with spaces.

Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.265 cannot open new tab in Firefox 14

Cannot open new tab after updating adobe flash player to 11.3.300.265 in Firefox 14.01
Reinstall Adobe Flash Player to earlier version 11.2.202.235 and everything work fine with Firefox 14.01

If you keep having problems then try a new profile.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
