Links to a webpage in an email

Previously, when I clicked on a webpage link contained in an email, my screen would be switched to my browser (I'm using Firefox) to the new tab that would be connected to that link. Somehow my configuration changed such that my screen does not change to my browser. The link is connected to in my browser in a new tab but the mail message is still displayed on my screen. How do I / where do I configure my system so that I switch from the mail client to my browser and to the new tab where the "linked" webpage is displayed?

Some webmail programs can automatically detect and convert URLs to links, but often they do not. Most editors include a link button on the bar with the other formatting buttons; it often looks like a couple of links of chain.
As an example, this thread has a screen shot showing how the button works in Yahoo mail (as of last October, but probably despite frequent overhauls, Yahoo still has this button): [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938665 ALL email hyperlinks in yahoo mail do nothing, but they ALL work fine in any other browser?]
Can you find that function on your mail site?

I use aol mail, and I want to change my mailto: to aol. Firefox won't let me do that. When I click on an email link in a webpage, my computer goes nuts.

When I click on an email link on a webpage, my computer goes crazy. (Please note that links to other websites are fine.) My computer seems to want to link me to Internet Explorer, which I don't use often. The computer starts running very fast and hot. Sometimes, I get a multitude of identical error messages from Explorer, and it is often hard to delete them!
I thought maybe I could solve this by changing my mailto: client, but there is no link for Aol. Please help!
Thanks.

PS: Why am I still on AOL? I still use the first email address I got many years ago. Friends and clients know my email and use it to contact me. I don't want to change it.

Hi, cor-el,
Thank you for responding so quickly!
I tried to follow the instructions, but it didn't work. There are 10 mimeTypes.rdf files on my computer!
I tried to follow the website instructions of
Tools -> Options -> Content / File Types -> Manage
but once I get to Content I am stuck. No Manage button. (there is nothing that says File Types)
What do you suggest?
Thanks again.

How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

Somebody has created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy.How can I resolve this?

When I tried to create and apple id using my gmail account i found that somebody has already created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy. Now the problem is that the other guy also can reset my password and access my account.
I contacted apple customer care and they are not ready to help me saying that I need to give information about the last device I logged in using this id. How can I give it when I did not create it?:) Also they are saying this account has been verified and that could happen only if someone has hacked my gmail account and verified the id using the link sent by apple.
Later I did some experiments and found that this is a security flaw from apple. Somebody has created the id and never used it(I tried to loggin to icloud and it was saying this account was not used it any apple device). The account became verified when I reset the password.(This is a bug, account should be verified only when we click on the verification link sent by apple).
The other mistake apple did is that they allotted my gmail account to someone before it's verified eventhough it cannot be used unless verified. Actually apple should allot the account id only after verifying the email address.
Apple customer care is not ready to help and I am tired of fighting with them. Can any of you guys suggest any means of getting back my gmail id to use it as apple id?

I don't think you're going to be able to. I would guess the other person used your address by accident, and when he found he couldn't access the account (because you'd changed the password) he abandoned it. Your GMail address is now locked to that account and even if it was changed you can't use it to create another.
You already have an Apple ID, which you use to log in here; you can use that to create an iCloud account if that's what you are trying to do. If you want to create a different Apple ID just get another free address such as a Yahoo one.

I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back?

I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back? It is really important.

If you know the answers to your security question for the ID you can use that method to reset the password rather than email (by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid).
If you don't, you'll have to contact iTunes Store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. They frequently deal with Apple ID issues.

How to print all links in a webpage. IE has had this for over 10 yrs.

This has been an option in IE since day 1, but I do not see any way to have Firefox print all links in a web page.

Firefox Has an add-on called Download them all which will enable you to print all links in a webpage. Here is the link to the add-on:

I hope this will help :)

Using ui5 to send an email with a link in the body of the email

From my ui5 I hit a button and can successfully open outlook and send an email using the code below.
location.href = 'mailto:?subject=' + subj + '&body=' + body;
If the body of the email is plain text all is well. My problem is that I want to include a link in the body of the email. I have tried using
<a href = "http:mystuff here" >Click here to open the form</a> in the body but it comes literally with the <a href... in the body.
Is it possible to place a link into the body of the email and if so how?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

sorry, not possible

File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

Why can't I use the tab key to highlight links on a webpage?

In previous versions of FF and in other browsers, I can use the tab key to navigate through all the links on a webpage - I can't seem to do this with FF5, the tab key will only highlight the address bar, search bar, and any form fields within a webpage.
Using the tab key to navigate through links on a page is an accessibility feature, and I often use it to show hidden skip links at the top of a webpage for users who prefer to use the keyboard over a mouse and for assistive technologies.
Is this something that can be turned back on in preferences? Or is there a reason why it was removed from this version?

It can be fixed in Mac OS X Tiger preferences (Keyboard -> "all controls") or try a ctr-F7

Can an object link to a webpage? PDF

Is there some way to make an object or box link to a webpage? Say after exported to PDF, the viewer can clink on an object and it will send information to a certain website.
I have seen a PDF doc (a form to fill out) on the web with a button on the bottom of the PDF page that says "click here to submit form". Is there a way to do this in InDesign???

Just to clarify:
You can create a button in InDesign to go to a url. However, simply going to a url is not enough to submit a form. You will have to modify the bahavior of the button in Acrobat to do what you want.

Links do not get highlighted in email messages

Hi! I upgraded to version 4.5 on my blackberry 8310 and now the links that I recieve in my emails do not get highlighted and i cant click on them to view the website. Is there anyway to change this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Usually when that happens to me it's in an HTML formatted email. If I change it to plain text I can click the link. I was assuming it was the same thing happening to you. I'm glad you figured it out.

Did you set up virtual pads to assign the Simmons kit in layout mode? In layout, select the group controls tab in the screen control palette. Select the desired pad group(8, 12, or whatever) and drag it onto the layout area. Select a pad and press assign in the screen control inspector. Tap on a Simmons pad and it should be able to learn the pad assignment and note number. Repeat for the other pads. Hope it works for you.

How to Link Published Outlook form in an email?

I created a Service Request feedback form in Outlook 2010 and got it published in Organization Forms Librar. Now anyone in the organization can open th form from the regular way of Choose Forms and selecting this form. My requirement is to have a link of
this form inserted in an automated email.
Scenario: This form is going to be used by users in case their service request is not resolved upto their satisfaction level. We use a ticketing tool in which when the user ticket is closed, user gets an automated email stating that their
ticket is closed. We want to have a link to the form in this automated email which should open the form stored in the Organization forms library so that thy can fill their feedback and send the form to a common mailbox. The form is working fine when used
directly. We are not getting a way how to put a link to the form in the email.
Can you please guide how can we have the link to form inserted in email? We tried to Run the option
Outlook.exe /c "IPM.Note.Service Request Feedback Form and this works fine but is there a way to put this above line of code (in bold) in email so that user can click on it and it opens the form directly for them. Hyperlink etc does not
work.

No, you can't as the <a> tag in the HTML specification doesn't account for command like switches.
Another way to go would be to use a web based form on your intranet/extranet which they can fill out and generates an email or database record with the feedback of that user.
