Loading web links from Outlook to Safari error

When I click on a link in an email, Outlook returns an error message:
General Failure: The URL "http:// "whatever" The system cannot find the file specified
It doesn't return this error with Mozilla or any other browser.

I have exactly the same problem but from when clicking links in any application.
This makes Safari unusable as the default browser on Windows
Windows XP SP 3

I recently updated to version 12. Now when i click on a web link from outlook 2010 the web page opens in an existing tab. I want it to open in a new tab.

I recently updated to the latest version of FF (12). Now when i try to open a URL from an email INSIDE Outlook 2010 it opens in what ever tab FF has opened. I want to be able to open the URL in a new tab. Using the CTRL feature does not work from inside Outlook.

Hi,
Try this:
Preferences > Tabs > Open links that open in a new window in: New Tab

I have just updated to Firefox v 6.0.2 and can no-longer open web links from Windows Live Mail 2011 (Bld 15.4.3538).

Shutting down programmes and rebooting computer did not help. Launching web links from Live Mail has never been a problem before. Error message reads " There was a problem sending the command to the program"

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

Will not load sites linked from another website--have cleared cache, cookies, history, restarted, checked in Safe Mode--still does not work.

Some sites load fine. But some sites will not load when linked from another web site, or, occasionally, even from my bookmarks. I went through troubleshooting routine--cleared cache and cookies, history, checked in Safe Mode for extensions, etc., but still will not work in Safe Mode. No other problems with computer or browser.

What happens when you click the link that does not open up the new page? Is it a blank page? Does this also happen if you Shift Click the link?
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/disinfection/5350 Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller]

* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Cannot access Web Link from Mail

When I try to access a Web Link from a mail message it is launching iPhoto and trying to create a subscription. For the life of me I cannot find where I might be able to redirect this to launch Safari instead of iPhoto. No idea how this was changed either?
Can anybody help!

I knew it was sooooo easy, but I just kept glaning over it!!! Thanks Linc.

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

In fact, I am runing some plug-ins: ClickToPlugin (Flash blocker), Collusion and Disconnect.
There is quite a history of new versions of Safari breaking third-party plug-ins/extensions becasue the plug developer did not have an updated version available by the time the new Safari version dropped. What you report--worked fne before but won't now--is exactly what history says happens in such a case.
First, turn off all third-party stuff and see if Safari smooths out. Alternatively, create a new user account and, from there, test Safari in its native state with nothing added. That is a good diagnostic to see if the issue is a plug or extension.
If either of those helps, check for updates to the add-ons. If the developer is slow in reacting to the updated Safari version, (not unheard of), stop using that extension until an update is available.

How can I get Firefox to NOT use DDE? If I uncheck it in Windows XP "Folder options" it keeps getting re-checked. When checked, it takes minutes to get Firefox to open on a page linked from Outlook.

Serious delay in loading web pages, not network, but safari issue

After my last software update, I am experiencing delays in loading web pages, 30sec-minutes on safari. This occurs rather frequently, I'd say about 20%-30% of the times I visit certain web pages.
One example web location I noticed this happening is (but its not the only one):
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caqc0363
Once I visit this page, sometime it loads fine, other times it takes forever (the load indicator stays on in the tab). Also, once the delay occurs, opening up new widows or new tabs to ANY other address are also delayed. It seem like all of safari is stuck waiting for responses. (safari itself is still running ok, it is responsive and there is NO spinning wheel of death).
It is not a network issue. Often while waiting for safari to load, I launch firefox, visit the same page and read, meanwhile Safri still loading, even after trying to refresh...I also do other network tasks, ssh, ftp, email with no problem.

Thanx! The numbers didn't help me anything, but your post reminded me: I found the DNS numbers that my ISP had provided that I had put in the Ethernet TCP/IP section in Network Preferences, and just copied and pasted them into my airport TCP/IP section. Worked great!

My MacBook Air won't load web pages from the internet. It will connect to phone hotspot and run fine. The apple store reset the library and network preferences and it ran fine for a little bit, now slow again. Any ideas?

Hi Everyone,
I figured out the error. The error is caused by the "Fasterfox extension". Disable or uninstall the extension and then try to open the outlook after restarting the firefox.

Type '''about:addons'''<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective
