Links from emails in MacMail no longer open sites on Firefox

Since updating Firefox, links from emails in MacMail no longer open sites on Firefox; I click on them, it goes to Firefox, but no page opens. Is this a problem caused by the latest security upgrade to Firefox? It happened immediately after I downloaded it. I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.6.

The irony that you sent me an email to confirm my post...by clicking a link... is not lost on me.

    Firefox open, but does not go anywhere.

  • How do I make Firefox 4 the default browser? Whenever I open a link from email, it opens in the older version of Firefox.

    I followed the installation instructions for Firefox 4, after I had the earlier version. Whenever I open a link from email or other programs, it opens in the earlier version of Firefox, not Firefox 4.

    You'll need to get the Actions dialog to appear and check the use as default action at the bottom of the list. One of the common ways to get this to appear is to follow a link from an email program or a soical network app like Facebook or Twitter.

  • Open link from email now takes 60s after upgrade to 14.0.1

    Firefox has been set as my default browser and so will open links from emails. In the past this happened pretty quickly providing I already had FF running. Now, after the 14.0.1 update, a new FF window opens (irritating but can live with that). Then there is a 60s wait before the page opens (a timeout somewhere?). It seems to be independent of the site visited (I checked with my own site among others as it is nice and simple). I also get the long delay if I ask the mailer to open the email in a browser (for messages containing HTML). The same sites open quickly if I simply type the URL on a run command line.
    I'm running Windows XP sevice pack 3. My mailer is Pegasus 4.4.1 (admittedly a bit out of the mainstream!). Perhaps someone could suggest an additional test to narrow down and then hopefully solve the problem. I've had to make IE my default browser for now as I often use a browser for messages containing HTML.
    TIA

    Thanks, but safe mode does not alter the behaviour and I've only ever had the default theme.
    The delay really is pretty much exactly 60s. Surely this is something timing out. Is that not an important clue?

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!
    :o)

  • Links from emails suddenly stopped opening?

    Why has opening links from emails stopped working?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I just starting getting 2 windows opened every time I click on a link from email one is the link and the other is home page is there a way to correct this

    when I receive a email and I click on a link to open it in my I receive one window with the Google start page and another goes to the link that I clicked on. Is there a way to fix this so it only goes to the link that I click on instead of opening 2 windows

    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.

  • Video Freezes in Firefox. Also links from email don't work(404) (same link works in chrome)

    Most videos freeze after 5-15 seconds if the mouse is not hovering (and moving) in the video window.
    Also many sort URL links from email (Open in new Tab) fail with 404 error. Videos don't freeze and same links work fine in Chrome.
    Searched problem using Google and followed several pieces of advice -- same problem.
    Removed all add-ons and extensions - same problem.
    Removed Firefox 24, Reinstalled using latest version 25 (import nothing) -- same problem
    Replaced Firefox with version 22 and it seems to be working fine.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages incompatible with icloud.  If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad.  Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.

    I have the original ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages 1.7.2 and backing up to icloud.  If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad.  Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.  Is there anyway stopping icloud from changing the version and is there a way to recover the old version of the document on my ipad?

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • When I open a link in email eg. Utube it open 2 Firefox windows. Why??

    When I open a link in email eg. Utube it open 2 Firefox windows. Why??

    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

  • After upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1, it no longer will open external links - anything from emails, IMs, databases won't open - how can I fix this?

    No links from external programs will open - this is usually kind of ok since I can cut and paste, but some links from databases don't provide copy-able links, meaning I cannot access information via Firefox.

    Hi BladedxRayne,
    You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Won't Open link from email it gives me the option to open but does nothing when I click that open box. This is a new problem my phone never had trouble with this before.

    When I try to open a link from an email it gives me a choice to open but when I choose open it won't! I used to be able to click right on a store or anything and it  would open connect to the store.  Very strange

    Hi
    It shows just 4 always as an option in the "open with" lsit. Also I haven't downloaded any apps for a while so why would it start now?
    Do you know how I can estabilsh how many apps are counting toward this 10 and what they are?

  • Safari will not open link from email

    When trying to open a link from an email in Postbox (3.0.11) Safari 8 (OS X 10.10) will open a new tab, but nothing else happens. The new tab remains blank and the address bar is blank. This occurs when Safari is set as the default browser.
    When I set Chrome as my default browser, Chrome will open the same link without any issues.
    Any ideas or is this an undocumented feature for the new Safari.

    Uninstall SIMBL as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
              Application Support/SIMBL
              InputManagers/SIMBL
              LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
              LaunchAgents/net.infinite-labs.SIMBLEnablerForSandboxedApps.plist
              ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
    Log out and log back in.
    Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.
