I click on a link and It won't automatically load the page; I want to change this setting. HOW??

Hi,
When I ope my mail in gmail. I click on a link to open a new tab and show me what ever it is I've just clicked on....Firefox won't just load the page like it did before I upgraded to this latest version. It says: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. and asks me to allow. I allow.
How can I tell firefox that if I have clicked on a link, I want to view it. That seems intuitive enough. I don't want to allow every time. I do this all day~
Thanks,
Melissa

See:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • Safari won't initially load the page, requires a reload or re-click

    Ever since yesterday, every time I open a bookmark in Safari, or enter a URL and hit enter, the page will just remain blank...only after I hit reload, or re-click the bookmark the page will load. This isn't always the case but happens a lot. This also occurs on my dads MacBook Pro so maybe it is an issue with my Airport Extreme?

    it happens to me too? any idea?

  • Firefox loads pages so that I have to move the blue slider over to view the entire page, why won't it load the page to fit my screen properly?

    If I go to a textual forum, only the first two-thirds of each line is displayed, I have to move the slider to see the right hand end of each sentence.
    If I go to an image oriented page such as YouTube, the image is loaded so that I see mainly the left most portions of it very large and have to move that blue slider at the bottom of the screen to the right to see the rest of the page.

    Hello ,
    when suddenly one site is very big or very small, resetting the Firefox page zoom can help.
    You have two options:
    Go to ''View'' > ''Zoom'' > ''Reset'' or press the shortcut Ctrl+0
    This should fix it!

  • Try to open up a website for work and after several minutes of "loading" the page is blank and says done. Have tried with IE, Oprah, and Chrome and all have the same problem

    The website is a login for work so I can print off the sheets I need for my job. I can get the site to work during the day but in the evening, it doesn't matter what I do, what browser I use, it always loads a blank page. I have scanned for Trojans, disabled java, turned off the security settings, and nothing works. I have even tried accessing the page through the home page only to have the same problem.

    I would recommend you contact the web administrator for the site. He/she would likely be of far better assistance; this is clearly a problem specific to the website, not Firefox.

    You can only authorize five computers to use one iTunes account.  The message is telling you that you have five authorized.  One would be the associated with the crashed hard drive. If you have access to an authorized computer that is not needed to be authorized you can authorize it and then authorize you now new computer.  Once a year Apple allows you to deauthorize all computers so yu then can authorize the ones you now want authorized.  To deauthorize all computers see the following.

  • Firefox starts up perfectly fine, but when i type in any website it immediety deletes whatever address i typed in and doesnt even attempt to load the page.

    So basicly what is happening is when i type in say google.com for example. Firefox pretty much does absolutly nothing except delete google.com from the address bar, and stays on the startup page. And this happens for every website, i cannot get off the startup page because of this. And currently the only web browser that will work right now for me is IE (64-bit). Which is strange because when i try to start any other version of IE it gives me the error that tells me there is no internet connection, when there clearly is. If anyone has had this problem or knows how i can fix this i will be forever in your debt. Also, if this helps I cannot download/install chrome, vuze, torch browser, or ubuntu. Thank you all in advance.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How to get href="tel:phonnumber" working? (click on a link and call on mobile)

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop a component for a mobile website which allows users to click on a link and make a phone call on the mobile device.
    I have tried to use the following code :
    <a  href="tel:<%=xssAPI.encodeForHTML(tel)%>" >Click and Call!</a>    // where tel is for instance: 12345678
    But CQ keeps displaying:
    localhost:4502/content/mysite/_tel_12345678
    I need the link to display as tel:123456789
    I've also tried using href="http://tel:<%=xssAPI.encodeForHTML(tel)%>" which displays 'tel:12345678' when mouse hovering over on a computer. However, as soon as I deploy the code on a mobile device and press on the link, it redirects to 'http://tel.12345678' which results in an error page.
    Has anyone had any experience in bypassing CQ's URL prefixing and force the href to be what the user input is?
    Many thanks.

    EDIT: disregard this answer, Justin Edelson has the simple & correct answer. My bad for not having had enough coffee, and firing up a decompiler before looking at the service configuration. Is there any official documentation on the settings, apart from the comments in the service configuration? My google-fu is obviously weak today
    Is "tel:number" correct - shouldn't it be "tel://number"? The latter won't be rewritten.
    I'm not sure how to make the former version work. The guilty part is CQ's Link Checker (which not only checks for valid links, but also does other transformations - the one you're dealing with is "namespace mangling". You can disable link checking - and some rewrites - on a per-link basis by adding x-cq-linkchecker="skip" to the href tag, but "link externalizing" (which includes namespace mangling) is done regardless of that attribute.
    If you need "tel:", without the slashes, to work, I'm not sure if there's a better way than completely replacing CQ's Link Checker... or, if you're into Extreme Hacks™, don't mind depending on implementation details, and can place a "://" somewhere in the href without breaking phone parsing, that'll keep the namespace mangling from triggering.
    But then you'd have to question yourself whether you can live with something like the following - I know I couldn't
    <a href="tel:1234-454-52&hack=hack://" x-cq-linkchecker="skip">click to call!</a>

  • When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

    When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

    Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

  • When I click a link, it won't open in a new tab unless I right click and select open in new tab. How do I change it so that I can click on a link and it will open?

    I want to click on a link and have it open, how do I do that, without right clicking?

    Click the link with the scroll wheel.

  • Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • When I try to connect to a link I receive the message "Search bookmarks and history" and FF won't connect to the link requested

    When I try to connect to a link I receive the message "Search bookmarks and history" and FF won't connect to the link requested. VER FF 3.6.6. Windows7; 64 bit.

    I have currently FF 3.6.8 running under Windows XP 32 bit. I am using Multiproxy Switch ver 1.33 add-on to switch between multiple proxies.
    My FF starting page is http://www.google.com/ncr . When I start Firefox and the actually configured proxy is unreachable, I get the usual message that the page cannot be opened ("Try again"). Then I switch to another proxy or to direct connection. Normally the desired page (google) opens. But in case I switch the proxy before the error message appears, this grayed message "Search Bookmarks and History" appears instead of the URL in the URL input field and I have to retype the URL.
    Remark: I would really like to have this function "Searching Bookmarks and History" available in Firefox, because I often do this kind of search and need 4 clicks to get there (Bookmarks-Organize Bookmarks-Bookmarks Menu-and then input my search criteria).

  • Problem with opening new tabs, when I right-click on a link and open in new tab it doesn't automatically load up like firefox 3.6 always did. Is there anyway to fix this?

    for example there's a link a friend sent me in my e-mail and I right-click on it, and select "Open in a new tab" it pops open like normal, except it does not load the page, I have to click the box and press enter to even get it to load it. In previous versions I have never had that problem, current version of Mozilla Firefox I am using is version 4, previous was 3.6 hope this helps figure this out.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I am unable to open new tabs, in any way I attempt to do so. I have checked the settings and they are fine, so it's not those. The only way I can open a new tab is to right click on a link and instruct it to open in a new tab.

    Any way I attempt to open new tabs, be it clicking on the new tab button or using the short-cut Ctrl-t, I am unable to open any new tabs on my browser window.
    The only way I have found that I can open a new tab is to right-click on a link and instruct that link to open in a new window.

    Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension.
