Link within Firefox not able to open

I'm using Windows XP with Firefox 3.6.13. When I click link (.pdf/.xls/.doc....) within Firefox nothing happens. If I right mouse click to open link into new tab/window I get (Untitled). I can run the mouse over the link and see the full path. I can cut/paste link into IE/Chrome/Safari and it comes up successfully. Anyone else having the issue?

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! What is wrong?

    I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?

    I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
    You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
    The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

  • Not able to open Modal Page through a report attribute link

    Dear All,
         Not able to open Modal Page through a report attribute link, kindly help me...
      I am using skill builders modal page plugin ...
    Thanks and Regards,
    Madonna

    Here's what you have to do.
    You set up your column link like this:
    Link text: whatever you like
    Link attributes: onclick="return false;" class="open_modal"
    Target: Page in this application
    Page: number of the page you want to open in your modal window
    You set up your dynamic action like this:
    Event: Click
    Selection type: jQuery selector
    jQuery selector: .open_modal
    (notice the dot at the beginning!)
    Action: SkillBuilders Modal Page (2.0.0) [Plug-in]
    Event Scope: Dynamic
    And finally, in your True Action (SkillBuilders Modal Page (2.0.0)), URL Location should be set as Attribute of Triggering Element.
    And that's pretty much all it takes.
    Hope this helps.

  • In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab

    In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab. So the only solution is opening "New window" which is extremely messy. Kindly help me with this issue.

    Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I already did all of these things. As you can see from the below screenshot, the language is already set. Also, this screenshot was taken in Safe Mode, so NoScript is not enabled. About:accounts still says I need to enable cookies for some reason. So, this solution didn't work....

  • How do I reset Firefox if I am not able to open the application after ending it on the task manager?

    We changed the privacy options on firefox, closed the program, and now we are not able to open it. We have ended the process on the task manager, but it still will not open. We tried to uninstall it but it won't even let us do that. I've read lots of articles on how to reset firefox, but it isn't helpful when i can't get into firefox to try it.

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox

  • Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hello,
    Please see the support article below for full information on viewing PDF in Firefox:
    [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]
    If you want to use Firefox's built in PDF viewer (i.e. not a plugin) then you will need to ensure that any PDF plugins are uninstalled from Firefox and that 'Preview in Firefox' is selected as the Action for PDF files (see screenshot below).
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.

  • Firefox is not abling to open some websites which are noi encrypted.

    while opening some websites like- www.ssc.nic.in , firefox is not abling to open the full content of the website and instead it opens only the "html" view of such websites. When I check out the details from the "view page info" , the info only gives some details like- This website does not supply ownership information. and Connection not encrypted.
    I am not abling to find any settings so that I can change to be able to open the full contents of such websites and not only the html content view.
    So, please suggest me something so that I can open the full content of such websites.

  • Safari Not Able to Open .Mac Web Gallery

    This is a very unexpected error. A friend sent me his web gallery link and Safari is not able to open the page. An error message appears:
    "This browser is incompatible with .Mac Web Gallery.
    We support the following browsers:
    Mac OS X
    Safari 2.0 or later (requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later)
    Firefox 1.5 or later"
    Now that is very unexpected because I'm using OS X 10.5.1 and Safari 3.0.4. Wouldn't you know that I can launch it just fine using Firefox. I don't want to use Firefox and thought I would be able to use an Apple product (Safari) to actually open Apple technology (web gallery).
    This is the only issue I've experienced after Leopard upgrade and the most annoying. I've provided Safari Bug feedback, but I don't expect a response.
    I'm looking for someone out there to help me through this issue. Otherwise, I hope Apple is listening. Don't give me a reason to switch back to FireFox.

    Hi,
    From previous postings here it seems to be a problem with the .Mac Gallery rather than Safari. Anecdotal reports seem to suggest there is insufficient bandwidth on those servers and when they get bogged down they mis-report the error message you saw.
    Check in the [.Mac Web Gallery|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1199] forum to see if they have some more concrete information.
