Links don't open automatically with firefox

When I click on the any link from the emails I received, it just doesn't do anything. It used to go and open firefox or if it is already open will open a new tab and go the website of the link.
When I make the Internet explorer as the default, it works.
Thanks mate, not sure what else should I write.

A few more minutes searching, and I found a more definite answer. Apparently, an update in Outlook 2010 makes it incompatible with Mozilla Firefox. The only way to fix it is to make IE the default browser, or hope this fix works: http://www.pcworld.com/article/200103/Fix_Outlook_General_Failure_Error_for_EMail_Links.html
This is the same fix from the archived thread, and is the same fix that keeps popping up across the internet. Good luck.

  • Firefox browsers keep opening automatically with 3 tabs and keeps hanging the computer

    Since last week the Firefox browser keeps on opening automatically with 3 tabs till it finally hangs the computer. I searched with malwarebytes, trend micro antivirus, superantispyware, microsoft safety scanner, trend micro housecall but nothing happens. The problem still persists

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Downloaded files don't open automatically

    why most of files, Word, Excel and many other don't open automatically on desktop after downloading them, is very irritating to go and search all the time
    Thanks for help

    You don't need to search for them. When you download a file, the Safari Downloads window opens automatically. After the file has finished downloading, double-click on its icon in the Downloads window to open it directly. Also note that you can go to its location by clicking on the magnifying-glass icon to the right. This will open a Finder window with the file selected – handy if you want to delete it or move it to another location.
    As Mulder points out, some files (such as MS Office files) will never open automatically, because doing so could be unsafe for your computer. But files that are considered "safe" will open automatically if you have the right option selected in your preferences: Safari > Preferences > General, check the box next to "Open 'safe' files after downloading."

  • Is there a way to create hyplinks in documents automatically with firefox, as you can with IE?

    Is there a way to create hyperlinks "automatically with Firefox, as you can with IE (with, for example, Ctrl + K, then go to the website, then back to the document, and it automatically populates the url)?

    If you create the folders as a child within the main pictures folder, then they will show up in the app separately. I have many folders with pictures in.
    You will need to move the photos manually - they will automatically go in the Camera folder.
    Hope that helps.

    Hello Susanne.
    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.

  • Firefox opens automatically with two tabs, one of which will never close and can't be used, how can I fix this issue?

    I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8 and Firefox 5.0.1
    I have had this issue for a while and was hoping that the newest release would solve my problem, it didn't. I looked online for solutions, none of which fixed the issue
    *Some pointed the finger at the extension Invisible Hand, which I never had.
    *Some suggested putting Firefox into safe mode, this solves the problem, but since it stops me from installing any extensions this is not a workable solution.
    *It was advised that I create a new profile, which I tried, this did absolutely nothing, the blank page appeared again after a short period of time and still can't be closed or clicked on, and this was before I added any add-ons. Which leads me to believe that the issue lies with Firefox.
    Though on a side note when I quit Firefox, with only my current tab and the "tab that can't be closed" still open, Firefox notices that there are two tabs open and warns me that I am going to be closing both. The only work around I have found is to set the "tab that can't be closed" as an app tab for the current session, but when I open Firefox the next time, the app tab which was the "tab that can't be closed" can now be closed and a new "tab that can't be closed" appears as if it were a new blank tab, just like every other time I open Firefox.

    I started in safe Mode. I have the default theme. Starting in safe mode still gave me the same problem. I went back to the normal Firefox and still had the same problem. Yesterday I restarted my computer for 11 Windows updates. I am not going to spend all day starting and restarting my computer and removing my History and whatever else. Firefox should have a direct contact to it's users, to assist them instead of having their users work for them as forum responders and trouble shooters. This has already taken up way too much of my time.
    I will say in normal Firefox the additional NEW TAB had no URL in it, but it did have the 12 icons on the page. In Safe Mode it had a URL that began with Chrome and it had a blank page, it didn't have the 12 icons as in normal mode. I don't have anything Chrome on my computer.

  • Email links don't open firefox

    I noticed yesterday that when clicking on a link in an email, nothing happened. I thought it was just a problem with the link.
    Today, another email link would open firefox for a split second and then firefox would close.
    I also noticed that clicking on some links in web pages while using firefox would cause firefox to shut down immediately.
    I tried creating a new profile and I tried disabling all addons, but didn't help.
    I think this all started when I allowed firefox to install the latest update a couple of days ago.
    Any ideas how to fix this problem will be appreciated.
    Lewis Poteet

    Open Windows Internet Explorer. Have it declared as the default browser.
    If you want, you can turn off the "check if default" option.
    Now open Firefox, and have it declared as the default.
    Did this help?

  • After searching in Google, resulting links will not open, get a 'Firefox not responding' message. What is the solution? Ray Allum

    After doing a Google search for web sites, the reultant links will not open, a 'Firefox not responding' shows in the URL bar.

    I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

  • Can WORD open automatically in Firefox?

    When I want to copy something from a website and paste it into a WORD document, I have to make sure WORD is open and a new doc is selected. Before I changed to Firefox I think I remember that there was a command (maybe in the EDIT or FILE command) to "edit with Word" and when I clicked that, the selection would automatically paste into a new doc. Is there any way to do that with Firefox?

    The key might be Windows 7, not Explorer or Firefox.
    Go to Start menu and pick "Default Programs" Choose "Set Your Default Programs". Select "Firefox" from the list to the left Click on "Set this program as default"
    Without exiting window, choose "Thunderbird" from same list at the left. Click "Set this program as default"
    You can do this with as many programs as you like.
    Then click "OK" button at bottom right of window.
    I did not have to reboot. Hope this works for you!

  • Safari don't opens sites with private certificates

    Hi,
    if I try to open e. g. my WebMail site or the time recording website of my current customer which are both protected by a private generated certificate, Safari reject opening the sites and says that the server would not respond.
    But with Firefox or Slimbrowser I do not have any problems to open this pages. And I don't find any setting to change this behavior.
    Does anybody has an idea what to do to open those pages?

    Could it depend on problems with the proxy over here? Because on my notebook I've no problem to connect to my WebMail interface (even if it seems that Safari has much problems to show it in the right way).
