I want to open an .eml in Thunderbird instead in a Firefox webpage

I tried to fix it in Tools / Options / Applications, but I cannot add an file-extension (.elm) to the list.
Earlier the email-message was shown by Thunderbird, now (since an update?) the message is shown in flat text in an Firefox webpage.
How can I resolve this?

Try this extension to set a favicon to a bookmark.

Was on a website when I got a message asking what I wanted to open the application with and I told it Firefox and now it won't open at all.

Was on a website when a box opened up asking me what I wanted to run the application as and I clicked on Firefox - now I can't use that website.

You should never select Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an open with dialog.
Firefox wouldn't ask this if it can handle the file.<br />
You will have to remove that action in Tools > Options > Applications

I have some long spreadsheets and want to open them at the bottom instead of scrolling down through all the data. How do I do this?

I have some long spreadsheets and want to go to the bottom to add new data without scrolling down through all the old entries. When I open a table now it goes to the top row and I have almost 300 rows to scroll through. I would like to set the table up to automatically go to the bottom row.

Zach,
You have a couple of options. If you use 100% View Zoom, and if you leave a cell selected in the bottom row of the table when you Save and Close the document, it will reopen with that cell in view.
You could also sort your table in the opposite order and add new rows at the top. Then you wouldn't have to worry about what zoom you use. To insert a row at the top, select a cell in the current top row and press Option-UpArrow. That will add a new blank Top Body Row.

How can I set pdfs to open in a new tab instead of prompting firefox to open them in Adobe itself?

I use a website with many links to pdfs. In Windows XP (probably an older version of firefox) I could right click on the link to open a new tab, and the pdf would open in the new tab. In Windows 7 (and updated firefox) when I right click to open a new tab, a new blank tab opens and Adobe starts up displaying the document in a new Adobe window. How can I change the settings to have pdfs open within the new tab (without opening Adobe)?

Tools -> Options -> Applications Tab
Under Content Type find Adobe
Under Action, Left click and select "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)"
That should do it!

I can't open two eml files with Thunderbid

I want to open two .eml files with Thunderbid. When I try to do it, I can open the first, but when I try to open the second Thunderbird doesn't do it.

It sounds like the files that aren't working are likely corrupt or perhaps not properly designated as .eml files. When you say "Thunderbird doesn't do it" do you mean Thunderbird doesn't launch, or do you mean it tries to open the file and returns an error? The error could be helpful in the latter case, as could information about where the file came from. In the former case, FYI, when I drag attached .eml files (from e-mails forwarded as attachments) to my desktop, they are named "Inbox" (as opposed to Inbox.eml). I rename them to add the .eml and then I can open them with Thunderbird, but otherwise I will be prompted by Windows for what to do with them.

Open an EML file in Internet Explore

I have saved EML files in SharePoint Online App. I want to open the EML file directly in Outlook 2013. However the only option I have is to Save the EML file.
I hope for a simple solution. This will have to be setup for many users.
Please advise.
Thanks

Firefox does not want to open popup or when I do "file new window" it does not open it too.

When I click on a link that opens a popup, firefox does not open it. Same for "File> New Window." Then, often after Firefox starts to malfunction and no longer wants to open my bookmarks. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, removed all extensions .. But this does not solve my problem. can you help me please?

Your above posted troubleshooting list shows quite a few extensions.
Did you really disable all of them and still had the problem?
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Which security software (firewall) do you have?
Some can block pop-ups as well.

I close Firefox session and then try to open a new browser window - get message that Firefox is still running and I need to shut down and restart. Need a solution

I close a Firefox browser and at a later time want to open a new browser window but get message "Firefox is still running and I need to shut down before I can open a new session" I do not want to shut down as this is laborious - I can go into task manager and processes and click on Firefox and end session that way but this is not the solution. Firefox seems to be running in background but I cannot open a new session window without doing on of the above.

Have a look at this post, see if it is of any help (though related to Vista, but same issue can be there with Window 7 also)

Mail: opening an eml file by thunderbird takes too much time

We are storing emails as eml files in a network folder. When we then open those eml files it takes a lot of time, sometimes 20 seconds. This happens also if the file does not contain attachments. I have looked at those files with an editor. The files are quite short and simple. Nevertheless it takes a lot of tme.
Thunderbird starts quickly. But showing the mail body (sometimes only 2 lines) takes so much time.
Any help or explanations?
Best regards
Guenter Merbeth

I understand now.
I would store the EML files locally and compare loading time. Then it becomes a matter of finding where your bottleneck is: network configuration, link speed (Wifi? LAN?), protocols (Samba/CIFS? NFS?..), etc. (compression, encryption,..).
This is outside of the scope of Thunderbird support, but I am definitely interested in knowing how opening an EML file locally compares to opening the same on your network. If anything, it will at least rule out (or implicate) Thunderbird as the cause.

In using mail with my mackbook air with maverick, to open a message takes time as if the message is downloaded & its same every time I want to open the message from inbox.

WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
Replying to Toad-Hall:
I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

When I open a message in Thunderbird, I sometimes get the message content of the preceding message.

When I open a message in Thunderbird, I sometimes get the message content of the preceding message.
This means that the whole content of the message is replaced by the content of the preceding message. I cannot see the message and have to ask the sender to send it again. Why is this, is my mail system overloaded or what?

This usually indicates folder corruption.
Right click the problem folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder.
Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad. It might be a good idea to move any messages that you want to keep to a new folder. Make folders under Local Folders to sort your keeper emails into. It is a good idea not to keep lots of mail in the Inbox anyway as you will see when you read the attached article.
Read this article about maintaining your system to help prevent this in the future.

How to open largest .eml files for Entourage through script

Hi,
I have 150 MB .eml file , this file i want to open as view mode in Microsoft Entourage.please let me know, if any one have idea. I am working in snow leopard.

I want to open Avi files which are compressed via different codecs.
How i able to open those videos through JMF.You'd need a version of the codec that JMF can use...which basiclly means it needs to be written for JMF.
Actually i am trying for indeo video 5.0,4.0,3.0 because it is by default supported in windows xp and mac pc.
Please tell me if there is any codec which can open videos for me.
If any third party is also available then tell me.No telling. Check google.
Can i use directx.So that all those codecs which are supported in windows system can open.
Please tell me if any possibility is there.
Can i use windows\system32\ir50_32.dll i.e dll from intel for supporting indeo video 5.0 in windows.
which is residing at system32.You could write your own custom codec for those using JNI and whatever functions from the DLL you need, but there's no built-in way to do it.

Apple Script For Opening External EML File With Apple Mail

Hi folks,
   I am working with Apple Script for implementing numerous function related to Mail App.
  I am using the following Apple Script lines for opening the mails which are in Mail app for each modes.
  View Mode : open theMsg 
Reply View Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes 
Reply All Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes reply to all yes 
Forward Mode : forward theMsg opening window yes   
I want to know how we can open external eml file in different view modes (View, Reply, Reply All and Forward) using Apple Script or Apple Event programmatically with a similar mechanism available through script in Mail App. 
 Thanks in advance.  Regards
 Nisar

I'm not sure what you're doing here, but this isn't anything I recognize as compilable applescript. what is this 'mode' thing you're talking about.
at any rate, if you have a loose emlx file sitting around somewhere you can simply open it in mail (use the 'open' command and the file specification for the emlx file) and work with it appropriately. if you're talking about an actual eml file (e.g. from Outlook Express) you'd have to GUI script Mail's 'import mailbox' command (the applescript handler for importing mail only works with Mail.app mailboxes)
