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....

  • HT4061 I opened a link from a spam e.mail. will it effect my iPad? can my iPad get viruses

    I opened a link from an e.mail that turned out to be a spam, will it effect my iPad, can my iPad get a virus?

    Yes. As long as you practice safe internetting. If you click on a phishing mail and enter your info into a bad site, your info is just as compromised as if you entered it on a computer. You can still be phished on an ipad. It will give you protection from viruses (they literally can't run) but your data is only as safe as your actions.

  • Ipod Nano will not power on, but works when plugged in. Any fix?

    Hello, My wife's Ipod Nano I got her for her birthday a while back will not turn on.  She thought the battery was dead and hasn't used it in some time.  Now when she or I plug it in it comes on, you can see her music and connect to our Itunes but it will not turn on from battery.
    It is NOT the hold/lock button on top I have tried everything.
    I tried holding down the menu button and select button, still nothing.  What can I do?

    If the iPod functions normally while plugged into an external power source of some sort (either USB port on your PC or Mac OR while plugged into a wall adapter), but doesn't when running on battery power, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot.
    You can have Apple or a third party repair center replace the battery for a flat fee. Otherwise, it's time to start saving for a new iPod or replacement.

  • Nano 6th generation will not turn on but works when plugged in to itunes?

    My son got a nano 6th generation for christmas 2010 and brought it to me the other day because the screen would not turn on. I plugged it into itunes and it was there, all songs were still on it. I tried to trouble shoot the device after unplugging it by holding down the negative volume button and the sleep button for 10 seconds. I repeated the steps but nothing happened. I plugged it back into itunes and restored the device to original settings. Still no display. Will Apple exchange the device if it has not been 12 months since date of purchase? Please advise. I am at a loss.!

    Since your iPod is still under the 1 year warranty against manufacturer defects, I would take it in to your local Apple Store/Genius bar and see if they'll replace it, which they should as long as they determine the cause its not from accidental damage or use.

    FCPX crashed and I reported it here. Tom Wolsky suggested I trash prefs, perform an fsck, reboot and redownload FCPX from the App store. The reboot was okay but Safari will not let me access the App Store to redownload FCP. I'm running 10.6.8 but the App Store icon is grayed out. I get a "Safari doesn't recognize addresses starting with macappstore."
    How do I get to the App Store to get FCPX back? I'm using the Trial version now.

    How are you linking to the App Store from Safari? From this page?

    You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
