Links embedded in OS X Mail will no longer open in Firefox 3.6.12.. open in all other browsers

When a link in an email is clicked, application switches to Firefox 3.6.12, but will not open a new tab or go to the desired link. In 3.6.11 and previous versions, this was never a problem. If I switch my default browser to Safari, IE8 (in a virtual machine) or Opera... links open a tab and go to the desired page. What changed?

It amuses me that the email that was sent to confirm the posting of this question had a clickable link. Naturally that link did not work. Cutting and pasting it into FireFox allowed me to complete the posting process. Annoying.

I cannot open Yahoo Mail in Firefox - It works just fine with all other browsers

When I try to open Yahoo Mail in Firefox, it times out.
This happens every single day.
Every once in awhile I get lucky and get in, but again, I have to deal with this issue every single day.
Yes, I've dumped the cookies and Cache
Yes, I've switched to No Proxy
Yes, I go through straight links and not bookmarks
Nothing helps.
Basically, if I want to get into Yahoo Mail, I have to open Google Chrome. Which has me thinking, if I have to open Google Chrome so often, why don't I just switch?
I'm a long time user of Firefox and would prefer to stick with it, but this is the kind of thing that will push me over to using Google Chrome.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

My Mail Will No Longer Send Out! I Have A Picture Of The Message I Get...

For some reason, the last couple of days my mail will no longer send out.
The e-mails that I want to send just sit in my outbox.
I don't know what to do...
Here is a picture of the message that I keep getting:
Hopefully someone will know what to do because I need to be able to send e-mails!!!
Thanks,
Sam

Jane,
From what venues are you experiencing this failure -- home or cafes? In a few cases, the ISP will simply NOT allow the use of SMTPs other than the one they provide. In those cases you have no choice but to use the SMTP provided by your ISP as the Outgoing Server, even in your .mac account.
With that background, please review your problem and what you have tried. I tried to review your other posts, but I think you need to provide me a summary, as I have to run now.

Embedded youtube videos load on all other browsers but not Firefox

I have embedded youtube videos into a website...
They work on ALL OTHER BROWSERS but not on Mozilla Firefox.
I have tried:
1. Clearing cache & cookies and using Safe Mode.
2. 18 different computers running Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OSX, Linux Ubuntu 12.10 and Fedora 16.
3. Using old embed code instead of iframe.
4. Loading HTML5 works but Firefox cannot fullscreen (still under youtube development)
5. Redoing site from scratch.
Code is as follows, note middle video is old youtube code: http://pastebin.com/T3w09bqW
Picture of problem: http://i.stack.imgur.com/rJjyu.png

Good point. When I insert that snippet of code in a new page, it runs for me. (Except that the first one says the frame is too small.) Does this work for you? http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/yt/941211.html

Mail will no longer save passwords

Mail suddenly eliminated the passwords for all of my mail accounts, and now it will no longer save any password that I type into the account panes. After increasingly slow performance, I figured that defragmenting and optimizing my startup drive might help, so I did so (via TechTools 4). Unfortunately, after doing so, I have had many Mail problems, including the problem started here.
What must I do in order to get Mail to again save passwords I type into my accounts?

Mail will no longer recognize a previously recognized email address

Hi, I use Mail for my corporate email. It has been flawless up until I took the OSX update on Saturday. I did not lose my Inbox, but I lost the email address recognition when I create a new email.
When I type a "known" address into the "To" box, Mail will not recognize any of it's previously known addresses.
On top of that I have noticed an issue w/Calendar. I was not allowed to edit any of my Meetings on the calendar. It would not recognize me as the initiator or host.
Please help!!! I rely so much on these tools, I am lost w/o them.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi,
Sorry for that I said it wrong, BUT ...
How if you investigate the menu in the Mail menu bar your self ... the is a address overview.
Go tho Mail menu bar click on the menu just before the HELP. I,m using Mail setup in Dutch and NOT in English.
When you select the drop down menu it will be the 6th item down, select it and a NEW window will opening with ALL the addresses you ever sent ore received mail from.

Can not open my yahoo mail. Can't find on server but can open in all other browsers

Yahoo mail will not open in Firefox new 4.0 or older versions.
However, I can open in Safari and IE7.
Have talked to several folks that are having the same problem and most are just switching to other browsers and the problem goes away. I would prefer to solve the problem rather than just giving up and switching permanently to another browser. Different computers and I have the same problem. Copying the mail address from IE7 to firefox and it still can not find the mail account. Does find other web addresses just fine. It is something to do with yahoo mail.

if that is giving you a problem you might wanna look into
the app called yahoo one connect
its free and it can help with any problem you are
getting with yahoo mail
or at least till apple looks into your problem

My e-mail is corrupted and I can no longer access so what is wrong? It works on other browsers so Tech support said problem lies in browser. ps I have printed

Not sure how long ago...a few weeks...I thought it was a problem with bell provider so went there first.
They did diagnostics and recommended I contact you since I can obtain my e-mail through other browsers. I can access internet without difficulty but when I sign into e-mail account through hotmail my e-mail page is jumbled and looks skeletal. I cannot access any of the messages as if I press on any one it does not come up. I have taken a screen print but I do not know how to import it here. I imagine it is some interaction between your browser and my computer but I am clueless as to how or where to start....

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Will current (v. 12) Firefox for Mac correctly open using a saved profile from Firefox 3.6 Mac?

Hi,
When I have a lot of windows and tabs open on a single subject, sometimes will save the Firefox profile folder, then simply replace the current profile with it when wish to get back to the same business. (And usually "restore" the current one when done.)
Was wondering if upgraded to current Firefox 12, could I simply pop a saved v3.6 ".default" profile folder into the same old place
~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles
whenever desired, and continue on, business as usual?
Thanks.

Thanks for the links. I will check them.
Though I don't really feel the need for multiple profiles (or simultaneous FF versions running). Just wanted to confirm I could swap in any already archived old FF 3.6 profile into a FF 12 install, if desired - without bothering with a test install etc. of 12 to verify.
I'm happy with 3.6.x, but am concerned security issues will no longer be addressed (as of the April 24th 2012 EOL).
Was not sure how compatible the 3.6 profile folder contents drag and drop "into" v. 12 Application Support FF folder would be. Just don't want to make my archived profiles useless.

Updated Firefox 18.0.2: Homepage and all other websites will not load anymore, tab remains a blank page. I tried resetting, checking firewall, to no avail.

When I start firefox, instead of loading the homepage, firefox displays a blank page with "New Tab" as its title. If I try to open a new tab and try to enter ANY website it will show it's loading for a second, stop, and remain at the same situation, a blank page with "New Tab" as its title. Other browsers work perfectly fine.
I tried running firefox in safe mode, disabling all plug-ins and extensions, checking my firewall, resetting firefox... all to no avail. Please help!

hello, when this is happening immediately after an update, then it's almost certainly your firewall that is blocking the new version. please try to remove all rules for firefox from your firewall settings and let it detect the new version again. you may also want to try restarting your pc once...

Imac will only connect to my home wifi via ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). its driving me nuts!

My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx

Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
- and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
- Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
- do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
Thx

Links from outside apps like Mail will not trigger FireFox... but work in Safari

When I click a link in another program, like Apple Mail, it opens (or activates) Firefox.... but it does not "trigger" the link. If I copy the link, and past it into the Firefox URL bar, of course, it will work....
If I switch the preferred browser to Safari.... the same links works fine.
I've never seen this behavior before with a browser....
