Links in emails (Thunderbird) do not open in Firefox 16.0.1

Installed 16.0.1 today. Links in emails used to open as a new tab, now they open in a new window and only as a blank page. I reconfirmed both FF and TB as default, yet the problem persists.

Never mind. Updated Tab Mix Plus and problem resolved.

  • Ince updating my firefox browser whenever i click on an internet link in an email it does not open on firefox although my mac switches to the firefox window as this is my default browser- what to do? Previously this has always worked without a hitch...

    ince updating my firefox browser whenever i click on an internet link in an email it does not open on firefox athough my mac switches to the firefox window as i have this set to be my default browser- what should i do?

    I have the same problem, and I also wondered if Google toolbar has anything to do with it. There GMAIL was set as the default mail application at first. I have removed that setting, but Firefox 4.0.1 continues to use GMAIL instead of Outlook which is my selection for mailto handling.

  • Links in Mac Mail will not open in Firefox. This recently became an issue.

    When I select a hyperlink in Mac Mail the courser changes shape but will not open in Firefox, my default browser. I have used Mail with Firefox for a couple of years & it worked fine, until now. I can change the default to Safari & it works fine with Safari.
    Also periodically Firefox hangs up & I have to force close it. That started to happen only recently too.

    The operating system has to have information about what the default browser is in order to open a link in a browser.

    what is happening with me, when i click on a link in tb, firefox will open to the proper link, however, if firefox is already open the link will just bring up the firefox browser and not the link....i have to close firefox and then click on the link and firefox will then open to the proper window......
    any help would be appreciated
    this seemed to happen right after i installed the OS bash update.

    I always got the version 3.6 and never before had given me problems, newer versions 4.0.1 as the laptop does not accept throws me a message saying "the file is corrupt" is not whether it be because I have to update or unconfigure ayudenme firefox

I think all products in the EU by the law has manufacturer 2 years warranty, just manufacturer gives the right to the seller took responsibility of warranty, but seems my seller knows that i have no other options and i have to repair or throw away this phone...so manufacturer should took some responsibility on top of that...and the worst way that blackberry suppor is only by forum or twitter but there is no reply on twitter so how i can contact blackberry for the help ?

  • Url links in Mail & Word are not opening in Firefox. Safari loaded url's just fine. Working on Mac OSX 10.6.6

    Suddenly today when I click on url links in Mail or Word the desktop switches to Firefox but not page opens. This changed on both my desktop (iMac) and laptop (Macbook Air). I've never had this happen before. I tried Safari and the url's loaded just fine. Help! - jim
    Firefox 3.6.3 Mac OSX 10.6.6 Apple Intel duo core iMac and Air

    My camera is a 1Ds mk II..
    and for that one it says
    All versions tested. All versions tested. Supported only through Lightroom 4.1.
    however, it also says
    Windows XP, Vista, 7; Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
    which is plain wrong, because Canon never supported any drivers for Windows Vista or Win 7, not to speak of XP 64bit. (You cannot connect the camera via firewire, without the device drivers!)

  • A link with shtm# extension will not open in Firefox but will open in IE.

    A job site I visit from time to time has a careers link, ''www. xxxxxxx. com/Careers/default.shtm#''. In IE, a new window opens showing the various opportunities. In Firefox, nothing seems to be happening.
    ''edited by a moderator to break the hyperlink which was loading a porn website''

    This appears to be a duplicate of [/questions/794153].
    Perhaps in your original post you may care to give the correct link for the job site, if it is something publicly available.

  • Links from emails do not open in Firefox

    Recently when I click on a link (usually from an email), it will not open in Firefox. Although I am taken to Firefox, the new link doesn't open, instead I just see the windows that were already open. This was working before. I reinstalled Firefox which seemed to fix the problem for a week or so, but now it's not working again.
    I checked and Firefox is set as the default browser, and there are no security problems in the error report. I am running version 3.6.12 on a MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard

    some say its to do with uninstalling chrome which i have just done.. there is no simple fix to it... well depends how computer literate you are i suppose... some suggest reinstalling chrome in order to resolve it.. i am not sure that i wouldnt make matters worse if i tried to fix it. see:

  • I recently upgraded my Mac to OS 10.6.5. Now the links in my incoming emails will not open in Firefox, but they will in Safari. What do I do?

    there is nothing more to add.... links from a wide variety of sources simply do not open up firefox and open the website like they used to. I can copy the links and paste them into firefox and they will open.

    this answer does not help at all. It tells me how to change my mail client for outgoing mail. I use iCal from mac, which is the default mail program, and it works well for me. The problem is with INCOMING mail that contains clickable links that will not open the page in firefox. When I click them nothing happens. iCal and Firefox used to play together just fine; now firefox doesn't answer when I click a link sent to me and received in my iCal.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I can open and read my email but can not open any links

    I Can open my email but can not open any links

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    It's probably not the cause of your problem, but you should update the iOS to iOS 7.1.2

  • Email links do NOT open if Firefox more than one profile

    Using OpenSUSE 12.2. If I have more than one profile for Firefox, say Profile1="default", and Profile2="mywife" then links in Thunderbird won't open in Firefox 18 or 19 when Firefox is Default Browser. However if I erase one of the profiles (any one of them) then Firefox starts behaving normally.
    Other browsers, Chromium or Chrome do handle thunderbird links appropiately.
    I have seen that many people seem to have a similar problem. I am writing this hoping it could help developers to eliminate the bug.

    Thank you very much, cor-el, but no, my command-line looks this simple: "firefox -P default" or "firefox -P AnaMaria" (that's my wife's). In past times when I clicked on a link in Thunderbird (using 2 firefox profiles) firefox ProfileManager window would pop up. But now it doesn't appear any more. Firefox just starts with one of the profiles. Some times it starts with a completely new profile. It is baffling!...

  • Since updating to iOS 6.0.1, email app will not open and other problems.

    Help! Since updating my phone to iOS 6.0.1, my email app will not open, my email/contacts/calendar settings will not open, my touchscreen is unresponsive, my battery is draining in two hours time, and my delete button only works one letter at a time (can't hold down to delete easily). I've done a soft reset and I've restored twice to no avail. This is a MAJOR problem! I'm not wanting to pay for the apple care since this may result in upgrading to the iPhone 5 (last option) and the closest apple store is an hour and a half from me.

    This seems to be a common problem.
    I am suffering too!
    It would seem to be very shoddy from apple to allow such problems.
    Not the first issue since upgrade to iOS 6.....think home button problems.
    Has anybody got news of a fix?

  • Skype chat links are not opening in firefox on Mac

    Hello,
    I have Mac book pro running OS 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard", skype 6.15 (335), and my default browser is Firefox version 32.0.3.
    Recently I experience a problem when someone send me a link it dose not open in Firefox, actually it switch to Firefox when I click on the link on Skype chat but no new tab is opening. I have to right click the link and then choose "Open URL" to get the link.
    If you have any suggestions please help.
    Thank You

    I had a similar problem on a website when a particular page was writing on the screen. This particular page later discovered contained a code that disabled anything from being clicked on or selected etc. It was as though there was an invisible windows in front (literally there was). I removed the code and everything went back to normal.
    Nothing wrong with Firfefox, Windows or Ubuntu. Incidentally, windows Internet Explorer v8 didn't have a problem since it was not up to date to handle the new CSS code. :)
    Here's the code that prevented anything on the page from being clicked:
    <div id="FirebombOverlay" style="display: block; position: fixed; left: 0pt; top: 0pt; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; outline: medium none; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; z-index: 999999;"></div>
    Most likely it got injected there without the user being aware of it. This was injected back in march 2012 so since then the browsers did not pick it up and just plainly ignored the code until new browser updates got installed to handle the css code.
    I have no idea how it got there but my best guess would be a silent plugin of which I have no idea which one.
    The above code is some form of style sheet code that puts a layer in front of the page. It would be put into good use in stopping people from selected the page contents or to do damage to there site. You can perhaps put it over images from stopping people downloading using browser right click save image command.
    I hope this would help those who are having the problem.

  • My mum has an iPad 1, the email programme will not open properly.  If you click on the icon it opens only for a few seconds but then shuts.  In that few seconds you cant select anything that you see on screen.  Any ideas? Thanks

    If the Reset Ian mentioned doesn't work...
    Shut down and restart the Mail app...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Mail app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the Mail app
