Links do not open in my firefox even though it is my default browser. Not all but many links. It was working fine. Maybe it is firefox 4 that is the problem.

When I click on some links, it does not open them. It use to work just fine. I have tried everything to help this situation. Many people are complaining about firefox 4. Maybe this is a bug.

Hello,
I have checked all the above trouble shooting suggestions. I still am having the same problem.
I use Firefox as my default browser and have it checked off as per your last email. I am only having this problem in my emails. I cannot open url links in my emails anymore by double clicking on the mouse. I have to right click the mouse and choose open in a new window. It will then open that url link and take me to the website link.
If I try this by double clicking the url link, it takes me to a blank page with this "https://mail.go....er=ohh14rw8mbn4"
at the top of the page in the tab.

  • I'm using outlook email, Firefox 11 and Windows 7 Home but email links do not open Firefox even though it's my default browser, Fix?

    My email links fail to open Firefox 11. They used to last week but IE updated and now links in my outlook emails do not open Firefox 11 even though it's my default browser. When I change to IE as the default the links open IE.
    Your assumptions about my browser, operating system and others are correct.
    VERY FRUSTRATING. HELP, Please

    Hi,
    Please also try this: Windows Control Panel > '''Default Programs''' > '''Associate a file type or protocol with a program''' > look for '''.url''' > '''Change program''' to Firefox.
    edit: You have to restart Outlook or sometimes reboot the system for the change to take effect. Thanks AUnderhill.

  • I'm having problems uploading files (to YouTube & SendSpace) with Firefox. Both work fine using IE. Any idea what the problem could be?

    When I try to upload to YouTube, things appear to be working, but every time it either ends up telling me the upload has been interrupted or it shows that the upload finished & then the file is nowhere to be found in my account. When I switched to IE, the upload worked fine the first time. When I tried to upload to SendSpace, I "browsed" for a file to upload, selected the file, & then nothing happened at all. Again, when I switched to IE, the upload worked just fine. I imagine there is some setting in Firefox that I need to change, but I have no idea what it is & can't figure it out by looking through the menus I see. I need some help!

    Jean, Thanks for your answer, I've tried checking the invoke node that calls the "Run VI" method but it doesnt return an error any of the times its called even that the Vi that it called is still running. I also tried your solution of changing the object's "Run" method to a template but that doesnt work either. I can't seem to post the sample progam that demonstrates the problem, is it possible to send it to you by email, contact me at [email protected]

  • Have lost return button and will not open to home page even though it is set to

    Return button no longer works and home page will not open even though it is set to do so. I"ve reinstalled firefox, but this didn't help
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello Rick.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
    If you need to restore your interface, you can go into ''View > Toolbars > Customize... > Restore default set''.

  • Netscape mail wont use firefox as default browser even though set up as default browser in firefox.

    I want to continue using Netscape Mail 7.2, but when I click on a web link I want it to use Firefox browser. I set Firefox as default browser in Firefox options, but it is not staying set when I look again. I don't know if Netscape is resetting it or what.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Stan

    I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
    Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
    So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • I select a bookmark and it will not open in new tab even though i have that option selected

    I have selected the option to open bookmark in new tab but it doesnt do that

    Hi, as far as I know, bookmarks cannot be opened automatically in a new tab. However this Add-on - [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/?src=search Open Bookmarks in New Tab] will do it for you.
    Alternatively, you can click the mouse wheel. Or, right click > Open in a New Tab. Or, hold down Ctrl when you click.
    Hope that helps.

  • Firefox insists on opening last page visited even though it's supposed to open on home page.

    My Firefox insists on opening last page visited even though it's supposed to open on home page.
    Bad job guys, this is dumb, I am disappointed.

    I deleted sessionstore.js it worked once but the issue re-occured afterwards. I don't have the file user.js.

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent Session Restore from reopening those tabs.
    Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
    You can leave the sessionstore.bak file with the time stamp appended that Firefox creates automatically in case of updating.
    There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
    If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

  • Firefox was working fine, I closed it and later it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it will now open. I've followed all the directions and all I get is the crash reporter when I try to open firefox. It does not open at all. HELP

    I'm using XP sp3, fully patched with the current version of firefox 3. 6.12. I have 4 gb memory and a 250 gb hard drive. Most of which is all free, so I have lots of memory and hard drive space. I was using firefox and everything was working fine. I shut it down and when I went back later, it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, renamed the user acct, followed all directions I could find and firefox will not open. I've run all kinds of scans on my computer for viruses or malware and found nothing. Everytime I try to open firefox, I get the crash reporter and it will not open at all. I would appreciate some help. I don't know what else to try. I use firefox as my default browser.

    Set it up with SMB compliant names.. that means, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Set a different name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
    Set security to WPA2 personal with pure alphanumeric password.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.
    Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to manual and try channels 11, 6, 1 in that order.
