Mailto links open google (desired) but load in current tab, moving away from website, and cannot hit "back" button to return.

I have firefox set to open "mailto" links, which is desired. However, when clicking the link, the gmail compose window opens in the current tab/window, and therefore leaves the website. Most of the time, the "back" button is not active, so I cannot get back to the website. The back button issue does not happen 100% for some reason.
To further explain, this is a website I am creating, so I am not sure if the fault lies with my code or in the google mailto option in firefox. (Code shown below)
>>>>>
<a class="email" href="mailto:[email protected]">email: [email protected]</a>
>>>>>
I tried using a target in the mailto link, but they seem not to work with mailto links like they do for links to other webpages. (Code shown below)
>>>>>
<a class="email" href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">email: [email protected]</a>
---or---
<a class="email" href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_new">email: [email protected]</a>
>>>>>
Any pointers will help. Is my code bad? Or if the problem is with firefox's way of handling mailto links, is there a way to code to get around this?

I don't wanna claim total credit for it. I remember seeing someone mentioned a Back button problem with McAfee Add-on in the forum. I dismissed it initially because it seems far-fetched...

  • How do I get my swatches to load again?  I moved Illustrator from org. fold. then put back. now?

    I moved Illustrator app from its org. fold. then put it  back. now my swatches wont load.

    As you found out moving Illustrator can cause the program to fail. Putting the app back sshouldhoudl have returned you to normal. The default swatches come from which New Doc Profile you choose
    We need more detail on which swatches you are suggesting, the deafults or color books? If you did not edit your new documetn profiles, then when you create a new document you should have swatches. Check if you have Show all swatches set.

  • Clicking on a link opens google search but on second or third click it opens the link as it should

    Whenever i click on a link it opens as google search page not the link it should, it usually works OK on the second or third attempt, noticed the problem primarily in facebook as that's what I use most but has happened with links in other pages.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • I can normally load Hotmail, and other sites, but I am currently visiting family in another city and cannot load many of the pages I normally can.

    Firefox tells me that the certificates are expired, and when I tell it that I assume the risk to enter the page, nothing happens.
    I noticed it first with hotmail, but I am having the same issues with many other pages that I normally visit without incident.

  • Since loading FF4 (again!) bookmarks gone (can't import file), no history and cannot use back button!Now I can't even get FF 3 back on my iMac.

    Using iMac with OS 10.6.7. I made the mistake before of trying the Beta ver and same thing happened. But at least back then I could download the older version and recover my bookmarks. (i was finally able to get the older ver 3.6 back up.) Still, I can't import from HTML file or from back-up. Pls help, all my history is lost and i need those bookmarks to do my work!

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Make Mailto links open in gmail from Safari

    Any way to make mailto links open in gmail web interface. I don't want to install google's gmail notification thing. Has anyone got a script or bookmarklet or something?

    Hi,
    If you are reluctant to go down the route of stand-alone application wrappers, I think your best bet is probably a Greasemonkey script of some sort. You will need to install SIMBL followed by GreaseKit. And while not all Greasemonkey scripts will work with GreaseKit due to differences between FireFox and Safari's JavaScript engines, you'll probably be able to find a few that will do the job, e.g. Mailto Compose In Gmail.
    It's not an ideal solution, but hopefully it should handle all mailto links originating from Safari.

  • Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

    Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
    To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
    This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

    In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

  • Can't load Netflix - Firefox says something about cookie problem and recommends try again button. ("The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected tha

    Can't load Netflix - Firefox says something about cookie problem and recommends try again button. ("The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.)" Hit the try again button repeated ly - nothing???

    I decided to give Netflix a call about this problem.
    On a recording while waiting for a support rep, it said if you're having problems logging in to go to:
    http://www.netflix.com/clearcookies
    It works for me. Now I have to logon everytime I go to their site though versus it had kept me already logged in before this problem.
    I will be using that link to get to their site until they get it fixed.

  • Cannot open CS6 Bridge.  Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

    Cannot open CS6 Bridge.  Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

    Try this.  This is for CS6 but substitue CC and Bridge 6.
    ~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
    Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
    and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
    All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
    Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
    (both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
    To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
    also drag this file to the trash.
    Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
    Choose reset prefs and try again.

  • When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen.

    When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen. If I am speaking to a person, if they hang up then I am back to the phone application. If I'm leaving a message, I am unable to return to the phone screen to end the call, and have to wait until the other phone hangs up. I'm also unable to switch back and forth to look at my calendar if I'm calling someone about scheduling. This has only started happening since the most recent iOs update. I run into situations similar to this about once per day during the work week, as I use my phone is this manner quite often. While not life altering it is quite frustrating. Can anyone here help me figure out a way to avoid this? If it helps, I have noticed a general downgrade in overall performance starting two system updates ago (apps opening more slowly, closing unexpectedly more often, etc.). I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest OS update.
    Thank you for any help or suggestions,
    Chris

    I could be corrupted backup.
    You can check the notification settings for message.
    Settings>Notification Center>Messages>Alert Style
    It should be on Banners or Alerts.
    Settings>Messages> Turn on Imessage and send as SMS and below that "Blocked" to check if you have any numbers block might be blocking the message.
    You can also do a hard reset by holding power and home till it restarts and release after seeing the apple logo.
    Still doesn't work? Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

    I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

    Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
    You could try a reset:
    - hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
    - the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
    If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
    All the best
