I want links (ie in an email) to open Firefox, not Safari

When I click a link in an email, it opens in Safari. How do I open it in Firefox by default instead?

You're welcome. Glad to help.

How do I get rid of Nav Link virus which ONLY seems to affect Firefox (not Safari)?

This virus or malware shows up as green underlined text in articles. If you click on it or accidentally highlight it by moving your mouse over it, an add pops up. Also, a new blank window will open showing the following heading:

HT201269 how do i switch off icloud if i dont know my password and its linked to an old email address that does not exist

i am trying to reset my iphone for my son to us but its asking for an old password for the icloud that i dont know and its linked to an old email account still for some reason and i no longer have it active

Then you're going to have to contact Apple and speak to someone in account security, because there is no way to bypass the activation lock.

I want to copy only the email address from Mail, not the name and email

When I get an email I want to be able to copy ONLY the email address and NOT the name.
Before I would click on an email, click on the email address and paste the email address to a list.
Now I do that and I get the name AND the email address, which makes me edit out the name every time. UGH.
Mavericks 10.9.5

did not make a difference. If I copy from the email (that has a name & email) and paste to text file (Bbedit) the name and email still show. I do not want the name, just the email.

Links not linking on one page. Differences in Firefox, Camino & Safari...

Hello, I doubt this is a new question... My web site is hearth2hearth.com My problem(s) is/are: The links at the bottom of the "Who's in the Kitchen?" page (email & [email protected]) do not work when published. These same links on all other pages do work. On this same page there is a photo and a caption beneath it that are both links to another site. Neither work. All links to other pages on my site (at the top of all pages) work fine. However (a separate problem) some of those links at the top of the pages are of a different color than I chose, and/or are underlined when I deselected Underline in the Format section of the Link Inspector. I have looked at the site on Firefox, Camino & Safari and there are differences on all three. (Firefox has never updated critical changes I made a while ago. Safari shows a hit counter twice that I thought I removed or at least I never see it anywhere else.) My host is not .mac, but hostmonster.co I have not yet begun tearing my hair out in frustration, but my hands are beginning to reach for my scalp...HELP! And thank you in advance.

Wyodor,
1. It may be messy or it may not. It seems that is opinion as opposed to fact. I am not a designer. I am a guy who has iLife and so I have iWeb & a need. Mac makes it easy for those of us with no designer experience to feel we can do something. It may not be up to designer's standards but it's what we have.
2. Why two email addresses? One is direct link and the other is in case someone would rather copy & paste the address in case they are at another computer and do not wish to use the default email of the host computer. I don't know. It was a suggestion I took. Doesn't seem harmful to me...
3. Out of focus? Where? There are no options to focus anything and all it is is typed words. I cannot see how it is out of focus.
4. I have looked and looked again at these pages. Code means nothing to me. So all I can do is look at the page itself and try to figure things out. What is frustrating is that things look different depending on which computer and which browser I view them on. While working here on iWeb I see certain results but I don't have several computers and every browser available all the time. So how am I supposed to fix anything when it looks fine when I working on it? I just discovered yesterday while at a friend's house that on IE the site had two hit counters I cannot see on Camino, Safari or Firefox. I even thought I had removed the hit counters mostly because I couldn't see them when I put them on.
5. I have used a font that may not be recognized. But it is recognized on the other pages. My problem is mostly - but not entirely - with this page. All I see is that even where the pages are similar, they read differently. I have nothing blocking these links any more than I might on other pages and yet this one page will not link.
Thanks for your help, though. As I said, the code here is Greek to me. So I cannt use it or even recognize if its helpful...

I switched to Verizon ISP. They configured my pc (Win7) to make their tabs appear in Firefox. I do not want them, and I don't want to manually close them when I open Firefox. How do I delete them permanently, or block them from appearing?

They also appear in IE, and I don't want them there either, but that is not so important as I seldom use IE.

The paper you cite has nothing to do with the question I posed. It deals with the page(s) Firefox opens when it starts. My question is about all the little tabs shown at the top of that page -- put there by Verizon -- which I do not want! Before Verizon mucked with my computer only 1 tab showed up there when I opened Firefox: my start page. Now all kinds of tabs to Verizon pages show up there automatically. I want them banished!

When I click on links in other applications (email is one) Firefox does not open it.

If I click on a link in another application, such as one to the application's help service or a link in an email, it looks as if Firefox is trying to open a page or tab, but there is just a brief flash and nothing appears. This is a fairly recent phenomenon.

closed firefox, then did yum reinstall firefox
didn't help, same problem

I want to reply to iCloud email but it did not provide any email address. Anyone has their email? I signed in for Support Chat, it said wait 2 min. but I was waiting for 10 and nothing come up?

I want to update my payment information but it keeps saying my security code is invalid and my payment method was declined. However, I got a short message from my bank saying the charge by Apple was successful? How could it be if the payment information was invalid?

Hey TapBkk,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Since it says your security code is invalid, take a look at this article:

Poster Frame QT Movie linked to standard QT Movie loads in Firefox not I.E.

Ok, this may be a rare question here. Here's what I've done following a small blurb of directions in iMovie6/iDVD the Missing Manual by David Pogue. (awesome book)
I've created a "poster frame movie" in QT. This is a one -frame movie I use as the picture on the page.
This poster frame movie, when clicked, is linked to a full version of the same movie that opens in the same place. The reason for this poster frame movie is to start the QT plug-in download as soon as someone reaches my page so there is no wait time when they click to watch the movie, it should be instantaneous.
I tested this last night on my Mac with Firefox, and after clicking the poster frame movie (i.e.) the picture; the linked movie loaded right away. This worked on PC with Firefox as well.
However, when this is page is loaded in Internet Explorer, on Mac or PC, the poster frame movie is there, but when clicked, the full movies do not load.
Can anyone think of why or what setting I.E. may have that doesn't allow my QT movies to load when other browsers allow it?

Yup, that's your problem.
Before the <embed> you should add:
<param name="href" value="http://blip.tv/file/get/Awarner20-AnniversarySecondTry745.mov">
<param name="target" value="myself">
As predicted, your problem is that while the QuickTime plug-in has the HREF and TARGET parameters, they are missing from your OBJECT code, meaning that the QuickTime ActiveX Control will never see them. You need to include all parameters in both places (unless you want different behavior in IE).
Also, TECHNICALLY, you should also add a </embed> just before the </object>. The <embed> tag, like, for instance, the tag is self-closing, but the most recent XML standard (HTML is a subset of XML) says, "Thou shalt close all of thy tags". So it won't make a bit of difference in function, but it is good practice. And yes, you should also close your tags and use or , too.
(although technically we're not supposed to use EMBED at all anymore, as it isn't in the HTML spec, but it works with all browsers except IE while OBJECT doesn't always...)

Font size in yahoo mail has suddenly shrunk, not the emails but inbox list etc. Only in Firefox, not Safari etc. How can I correct this

When I opened Yahoo mail from Firefox the font size suddenly shrunk and I can hardly read it. Font size in emails not affected. Inbox, sent list etc are all much smaller.
No problem when using Safari.
I note from internet forums that others have had this problem.

I have same problem like you!
This problem comes from suck Hardware accelerate of Firefox5.0
Let's turn off Hardware accelerate in browser
Option>Advanced> Tab General> Unchecked use hardware accelerate when available>OK
After that closing Firefox
That is!

Like others, when I try to attatch something to email in .me, nothing happens. This is problematic only with Firefox, not Safari.

Other browsers still function attatching items to outgoing emails in .me mail. Firefox will no longer attach anything. The window pops up, but nothing happens when the open button is clicked. It started about a month ago.

How do I get gmails/emails to open faster in Safari?

Example: I click on Safari. Google gmail comes up as it's programmed to do. I try to open an email and it won't open.
Next, I'll close out gmail and click on Safari again and gmail comes up and it works fine but seems slow changing from program to program.
I also have a Comcast email account that I use and it does the same thing.

Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Gmail loads/refreshes several times without letting me compose an email only in firefox not other browsers like IE.

I really like Firefox and would like to continue to use it for accessing my gmail, but this problem has been occurring for several months now and it's kind of irritating. The fact is that gmail only acts up in Firefox and none of the other browsers like IE. Please help!

This problem is haaping to you there is reasons are
1. Old FF , so 1st update your browser
2.or net speed , beczzz gmail needs high speed .. high means not like 3G ..it should be approximately 25-30kbps . As u wrote this doesn't happen in IE , becz IE is mad for work in low speed also bt it takes time to load .. ones load never refresh without you permition bt FF works fastly so it try to open as it has dwnloded ,, bt half part cant be stable long .so it refreshes..........
So now update ur browser n use high n stable INTERNET ....

I cannot paste links to my hotmail email account

I am unable to paste links in my hotmail emails while using Firefox.

In the Hotmail editor there is a button to create a hyperlink on the button toolbar, just above the text area where you compose a new message. 
That button has a tooltip Insert Hyperlink (looks like a sphere with a chain below it).

How do I open up separate sessions so I can get separate email sessions open at the same time?

I want to have two separate email sessions open. I want to be able to switch back and forth between two email sessions without being forced to log off and on again.

You can look at these extensions: 
* Multifox: http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/ - Different logins at the same time
* CookiePie: http://www.nektra.com/oss/firefox/extensions/cookiepie/
* CookieSwap: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3255
