Links in email program (Thunderbird) open in seperate Firefox window instead of one open

If Firefox is open and I click on a link in Thunderbird it opens in a new Firefox window without any of my tabs open. In Firefox I have selected open new windows in a new tab. The new window only has the one tab in it. (The link address) If Foxfire is closed it will open into the main window with all my other tabs. In order to have any links open into the main Foxfire, I have to close Foxfire after viewing each link.

Quote: ''There is not a tab to tear off to the other window''
Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Always show the tab bar"

Clicking links in emails in Thunderbird, Firefox disappears from view

When clicking links in emails in Thunderbird Firefox disappears from view along with its task bar button. Firefox is still open and works, if you know what you are clicking on and prevents other still visible windows being worked with as the mouse only "sees" the Firefox window invisible to human eye!

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

After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

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 "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash.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!

I clicked a link in another program that opened a link in Firefox, but only that opened, not any of my 50 saved tabs from last session. What can I do?

So I clicked a link in a program that opened in Firefox. I had over 50 tabs from the course of a couple months I was saving, so "go back in your history" is not a practical option. I use the "Restore Tabs From Last Session" (or whatever the exact wording is) so I can just close and open and get all my tabs back. This time only this one link opened, nothing else did (like I remember it usually doing). How am I to restore that previous session? It's crucial for me to get all that stuff back, it drives me crazy when this happens (it's why I dropped Chrome and came here to Firefox, better memory management and less crashes).

Restore your Previous Session
*https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-previous-session
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file. You need to rename the .bak file to .js to make Firefox see that session.
*right-click: Properties > Previous Versions

Try to use this Addon

Links in email won't open

I updated to Firefox 5.0 today. I was reading email in Thunderbird and clicked on a link. Nothing happened, the page did not open. I then tried to right click and select open link in browser. Again, no window opened.
Please help, as properties allowing me to copy paste is not an option, and hunting down a page that I should be able to click and link to is very time intensive!!
Thanks!

thanks for replying!
I actually did have firefox open when clicking the links when I wrote about the issue I was having. However, the issue seems to have corrected itself, so YAY! I can't remember now if I rebooted before I asked for help, but I suspect I did not, and that was the solution; the next time I turned on my computer, it worked correctly.

FF 10: cannot load local html files by dragging to FF; links in email don't open

Just upgraded to FF 10. I cannot open a local html file by dragging it to to FF, or by clicking the file name. Clicking the file name brings up an error message: There was a problem sending the command to the program. Dragging just shows a circle with a slash.
I can open a local file by typing "file///<file location>" in the location bar.
Also, clicking a link in an email to any site does not open the site.

Hi,
Please see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox this]. You can start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] to check if an add-on is causing the problem. You can also try to '''Open with''' by right-clicking on the HTML file and choose Firefox and enable '''Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'''.

Links in emails unable to open when clicked

Hi, I'm having a rather difficult time opening links in emails. I have tried all but this route so far to get to the bottom of this issue. I figure it must be a security issue and noticed it happening since all websites I visit are now
"https" and since that began months ago slowly I'm unable to now open links within emails. I have tried to delete the "s" on some sites only for there to be more conflicts and most won't open for me. This site is unavailable
to me >> http://www.aweber.com/z/c/?8948cc11-7005-4322-952c-4177647842c2 It was to open link for accepting subscription to a newsletter. Others are links to forums or other 3rd party sites that are recommended reading. I'm not
that computer savvy so could use some help here. Please and thank you for your time and consideration in this matter as I'm not the only one that is experiencing this issue. I have friends on f/b with the same issues.

Hi,
This issue might be related to the cache stored or security settings you have configured for the browsers, while please understand that we don't support Chrome or firefox, and we're not familiar with its settings, you might need to contact
the browser's vender support.

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.

Change email program that opens when clicking an email address in Safari?

Can I set Safari to open Microsoft Entourage as my default email program? Currently Safari always opens Eudora when I click on an email address. I found a place in Firefox to set it, but I can't find a place to set it in Safari. Safari Help was useless as usual.

Thanks. It didn't occur to me to open Mail, because I don't use it for my email. How many programs let you select their competitors? Usually they ask to be selected over their competitors. And the fact that I could set my preferred mail program within Firefox suggested that I should be able to do the same in Safari...

Links in emails don't open in Firefox 33.1.1

I read the previous thread about this problem under FF 32 but wasn't able to respond there, so I'm starting a new thread.
I have had this problem for some time, back under FF 32. I even downloaded and reinstalled FF and when that didn't work, did the reset procedure. The update to 33.1.1 hasn't helped.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and Apple Mail v. 4.6. I keep FF open on my desktop after starting it. Usually it works OK when first started but then stops opening links or becomes erratic, sometimes opening them and sometimes not.
Any help/suggestions/news about this issue will be much appreciated.

Hi, MaryRB!
Let's try this first, and see if it fixes anything:
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

When I have all Firefox windows minimized, and am using another program or am idle, the Firefox windows keeping randomly popping up. How can I stop this behaviour?

I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.2. When I have all Firefox windows minimized and am working in another program, the Firefox windows just randomly open in front of my other app and interrupt me. I have to minimize them again. It is extremely distracting and annoying, and often interrupts in the middle of something important. How can I stop Firefox from doing this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

[Solved] When I open multiple Firefox windows an orange pull down tab appears and I cannot exit from any single window. I have to exit all of the Firefox windows to close one.

I like to open several Firefox windows when I am browsing the internet. Since mi reinstall of windows XP with sp3 I installed Firefox 5.0.1. Now when I open multiple windows they kind of window in a window and I get this orange pull down menu. I can no longer close any one single window. I click the lower of the two top right X's to close the window and all the tabs in that window, but nothing happens. I also don't like the look and feel of the orange pull down menu

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Changing email program to open

Hi. I just wondered if anyone out there uses GroupWise for email. If so, in Safari, how can I change my settings so that I can click on an email link in a webpage and have GroupWise open unstead of the Apple Mail program? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
In your Apple Mail program, go to the Preferences in the Mail Menu. In the General panel at the top you can select your E-mail program.

Unable to open links in email accounts on xoom after loading firefox moblie

I hav my email accounts on xoom homescreen when I read email from icon on screen not through browser and try to open link it will not work this started after i loaded firefox or firefox mobile can u help me....? firefox web browser is not open when this happens.

Are you getting a black screen? If that is the problem launch Firefox, then near the clock there will be a 4 arrow icon, click it and select "Stretch to fill screen" and restart the tablet. This will correct an issue with Android improperly suggesting Zoom to fill screen for Firefox.
Firefox will have tablet specific look in Firefox 9. It will be in the Android Market around Nov 10th as Firefox beta. https://ianbarlow.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/firefox-for-tablets-lands-in-aurora/
