If you click on a link in an email or pdf, for instance and Firefox is closed, it will launch and open the home page, not the link.

Used to be when you clicked on a link in an email, Firefox would launch and load that page. Now, FF launches and loads your default home page, and you have to go back to the other program and click on the link again.

I have not found a way for the email hypertext to go to the FaceBook App, but I no longer click on the hypertext as I know whatever information or posting it is directing me to in FaceBook will show up when I open my FaceBook App.  I also have noticed that many pop-ups on the Browser don't actually know if you already have the software they are promoting.

  • When I click on a link in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but just shows the home page, not the page I clicked for

    When I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but only shows the home page(s) not the page of the link

    I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
    In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
    How to to this?
    Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
    search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
    The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
    Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
    (for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
    You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
    If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
    Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.

    Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
    What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

  • After going from firefox to another app. such as mail, I can't go to the dock and re-open my home page. The bar says firefox, but the previous app is on screen and douple-clicking the icon in the dock does nothing.

    Problem seems to have started today after alothome.com hijacked my home page and I had to re-select original homepage as default.

    I went to add-ons manager and removed ALOT and the problem went away. Post office recommended using ALOT to track a package but it screws up firefox.

  • How can I create a working link from the home page to other pages?

    Using iWeb, I created links on the Home page directed to other pages within my web site. The links are located in the main body of the Home page (on the right side) and are not included in the Navigation Menu. The links function correctly when I test them in iWeb, however, the links do not function at all after publishing to the internet.
    Within the inspector, I have chosen, Link To: "One of my pages" and the appropriate page is selected.
    The links within the gray rectangles do not function. The same links below the gray rectangle links go to a "Page Not Found" page.
    See the home page at http://www.daleenstrom.com
    How can I make these links function correctly?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've found that using the "One of my pages" often doesn't work. Since you've published the site go to each page, copy its URL and use it for the hyperlink. I've found that to me more reliable.
    Are those two links inside the shapes or just on top? Both of those items are one large image file. If you inserted the link in the shape be sure you've selected the text (might take a few clicks to get inside and select it) to use for the hyperlink. Also make sure there are no other objects overlapping each of the shaped with the hyperlinked text.
    Also it appears that the entire text box is an image. Turn on iWeb's preferences to display the text image indicator:
    Click to view full size
    and then you'll see the following on any object that will be converted to text once published:
    Click to view full size
    The two links below work for me. Be sure to clear your browsers cache (CommandOptionE for Safari) and reload the page.

  • Redirecting to the Home Page when clicking on close button of the Item in a list

    Hi all,
    I have a SPD Workflow configured in a site to show a link to the current item view form from the autogenerated mail, so that when a user clicks on the link , it gets redirected to the list item as a Viewform.aspx. on closing t hat the user will be redirected
    to the list and shown the allitems.aspc view of the list. But the user now wants to redirect to the Home page of the site. I have created and deployed the SPD WF using Designer 2010 and deployed to the production. But Now I am fearing that to achieve
    this requirement do I need to change the entire approach of SPD Workflow? If anyone has pointers please share with me.
    Thanks,
    K.V.N.PAVAN

    No, I said to set the Source parameter of the URL to the home page.  You have to do this in order for the browser to know where to send the user upon closing or updating the item.  This is how all redirects work in SharePoint.  If you go browse
    around and click on an item, you will see a Source parameter in the address bar.  The URL that comes after "&Source=" is the URL your browser will be sent to after you click "close."  This is how SharePoint remembers the context of where you
    were.  If you don't provide a Source parameter, then it defaults to the list where the item lives.  That's what you're currently doing, so you need to add a Source parameter to the URL you provide in the workflow email.
    http://sitename/list/DispForm.aspx?ID=[Current item: ID]&Source=http://sitename
    Something like that.

  • When I click my home page icon the tab this is open goes to my home page BUT another new tab opens.

    when I click my home page icon the tab that is open goes to my home page BUT another new tab opens. How do I stop the new tab from appearing?

    It's easy to add extra tabs to your set of home pages. You can use the Options dialog to make sure there is only one. These articles point the way:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    Because the space is short, you may want to select the whole home page URL (Ctrl+A) and paste it into a document or into a larger textbox like the one I'm typing in now. You're looking for a vertical bar (|) that is followed by a second URL.
    If it's not part of your home page setting, the most likely cause for this change is a bad add-on that rode along with some free software.
    I suggest starting here:
    Open Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Then, in Firefox, open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible).
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that shut down the extra tab?

  • When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved.I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

    It was pointed out that my links do not function correctly on Firefox on a Windows platform. When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved! I have now observed it for myself on my fathers PC running Windows XP on Firefox.My PC is on Windows7
    It is the 5 version of Firefox, so I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    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")
    In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

    I click on a link, and get a new blank page, not the info expected. I use AVG Free Edition, Windows 7 Professional. I have tried "open link in new tab" - no joy. Not all links are affected. It is not possible to say when a link is going to fail or work - it seems random.

  • How to automatically link a page to the next page in the next spread

    Hi everyone,
    I created a master page in which the two pages are linked( text frame on the page). When I apply the master page to the pages, on every same spread, two paged are linked, but not between spread. How do I automatically link the second page of first spread to the first page of the second spread? so all the pages will be linked in sequence. Thanks a bunch!
    Simon

    The InDesign Place command is fundamentally different from the Quark Get Content commands (as is the handling of frame content -- inifintely easier to change content type in ID). To palce content in ID you don't need to have a frame available to hold it, though you can if you like. Master frames are seldom required, or even helpful in many circumstances -- things like magazines with a rigid structure of mixed image and unbalanced column heights are one example where they ARE helpful.
    When placing text you have several options. If there is no frame, click the loaded cursor where you want the text to be and ID will draw a text frame on the fly. The top of that frame will be at the y-coordinate where you click, it will fill the column guides surrounding the point at which you click, and iut will extend downward to the bottom margin guide. If there is more text than will fit you'll see a red plus sign in the frame outport that you can click to pick up the overset.
    Still with no frame, you can click and drag to define a frame, or with an existing empty frame you can position the cursor over the frame (you'll see the icon change to include surrounding parentheses) and click to flow text into the frame and any addtional frames that may be threaded with it.
    There ae several options for threading. If you've made master frames and threaded them, hold down the Shift key when you click iniside the frame and InDesign will add pages based on the last master in the thread untill all of the text is placed. If there are no master frames, holding shift will add frames on the fly, and pages to hold them. These frames will fill the column guides from top to bottom margin guide.
    Holding the Alt (Opt) key instead of Shift puts you in semi-auto flow mode and text will be added one frame at a time (or one group of threaded frames if you click inside a thread), but will leave the place cursor loaded so you can add a new frame or click inside another existing frame. You can swith from semi-auto-to full auto at any time by changing keys, or release the key to just place text in the last frame. Holding Alt + Shift puts you into Autoflow to end of available space mode, wich will fill existing pages, but not create new ones.

  • Home page won't link to a new page.

    I can link from the New Page back to Home. Or from Home to any other page and back again.
    But when I click on the New Page nothing happens. Except a Yahoo tab opens every time I try it. What's the problem? I created the New Page with the same methodology as all the others. Thanks for any help. -- Todd

    Todd:
    Are you referring to the link in the navbar at the top? Try using the File->Publish All to MobileMe and see it that will jump start the link.
    Otherwise try creating another new page with the same theme and see if it is reachable from the Home page. If so, copy and past the items on the problem page to the new one and delete the problem page.
