Many links on websites can no longer be "clicked-on"

Since yesterday, 10/24/2011, I can no longer click-on certain links on a website using Firefox. For example, the links at the top of the mozilla.com website, including the "support" link. I don't get the normal "hand-pointer" to indicate a hyperlink. All I get is an arrow. This is true for almost every website I go to now. A few links still work, but most don't.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 7.01. still no fix.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

    Vera,
    Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
    Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

    Have you checked the sorting settings to make sure they are as you expect?

  • Does Firefox automatically detect when links to websites are no longer valid?

    There is a link within an application I am running. The link now points to an invalid URL. Does Firefox detect when links are not valid.

    Hello Dm.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, Firefox isn't able to detect if a link is not valid unless the server (where the site you are using is hosted) tells Firefox that it is not. Contact the site's webmaster about broken links.

  • IWeb created website can no longer be opened by iWeb

    I created a website with iWeb several years ago.  I am attempting to update that website but the iWeb "Open" option is no longer highlighted and therefore cannot be selected.  When I use finder, I tried using the "Open With" capability, but I get an error that the website cannot be opened by iWeb.  When I created the website, I had a MobileMe account (however the website is published to a standard hosted web site). I believe the iWeb version is a 2008 version.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Do you have your domain.sites file for the site that you created?  It is normally located under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. 
    The domain.sites file is where all the information about your site is stored and you need this file to be able to make any alterations to your site.
    It does not matter at all where you have published your site of what version of iWeb you are using for that matter. iWeb is unable to open published files - one way street.  It only creates html files on publishing.
    If you don't have your all important domain.sites files, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch.

  • Ever since I updated, I can no longer right click on links, choose "Open Link in a new tab" and expect it to do anything at all. WTF!

    I should note, I am using the latest version as of today, I am using the portable version, and I have a TON of addons, a list of which I can post if I have to. Any Ideas what could be causing this? I use the "Open link in a New Tab" option every single day. I don't want to have to hit some special button to do so like my current temporary workaround with tab mix plus, I miss the old method, the option is still there in the context menu, but it won't do a single thing ever :(. Also not working is "Open Link in This Tab" and "Open Link in Duplicated Tab" (Not that I ever use those ones so who give a F). "Open Links in New Tabs" Still works though, but not for single links, so its not an ideal workaround. I can't afford to simply reset the browser, my settings, my addons, everything would be gone. I could back it up with FEBE but then I would be right back where I started. :(

    Guys, I should wrap this up and let you all know so this page may help those experiencing the Firebug Context Menu Glitch. It's messed up, that was one of my favourite programs :(. Now looking for a version that doesn't do that.

  • Can no longer "right click" after installing 10.6.7

    Ever since I updated my macbook with 10.6.7 I am no longer able to "right click" with my two fingers and thumb. HELP!

    OK, in that case please enable the guest account, log into it, and see whether you can set the same trackpad preference there. If you can, then log out of the guest account, go back to your account, open a Terminal window, and copy or drag the following text into the window (don't type it yourself):rm Library/Preferences/{,ByHost/}.GlobalPreferences.*plistPress the Return key. Then log out and log back in, and reset your trackpad preferences.

  • Connected Apple devices - can no longer right click to show info

    I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 installed, but now find that you are no longer able to right click on any connected Apple device and look at the details of that device, such as space used, software version, or look at the device settings for syncing Calendars and Emails etc. Why have these options been removed? If I right-click on my iPhone, the only options I get are Play, Shuffle, Eject, Reset Warnings. You actually cannot click on the device itself to reveal this information, all you get is the expansion arrow to the left and the sub-menus underneath, such as Music, Films etc.
    Not all of my devices are on the latest software version, particularly my iPhone, as I cannot fit it on!

    View > Show Sidebar or Ctrl+S. Your device should be on the left like iTunes 10. Do the results change?

  • Can no longer access my .mac website

    I have been using iWeb 06 for that last 18 months to publish a website for our family. I have a current .mac/mobileme account that is set to renew on Jan. 18, and I suddenly can no longer access our website (my mobileme email is working fine). It's an http://web.mac.com/ address that now says "We're sorry, but this website can no longer be viewed. Either the person who claims to own it doesn't any longer, or they never did." This "we're sorry" page has the Apple logo on it, as well as the toolbar across the top. Does anyone know how I get my website back? I just spent all this time putting new pictures on it and "publishing" it, not realizing it no longer works. I have made no changes to my .mac account, and my website was working a few weeks ago. I did try going to http://me.com/myname like the mobileme FAQ page says to try, and my website isn't there either. This is the only reason I have a .mac account, so if I can't get my website back, I don't see any reason to renew on the 18th. Thanks for your help.

    I've never heard of this but you should be on the phone or at least e-mailing Apple.http://www.apple.com/ca/support/contact/

    The answer is in the diagnostic! Go to the Toshiba site (I've been so nice and found the link for you!)

    Try updating your drives firmware. Click 'Firware Updates' on the right hand side of this page, then follow the instructions and download the update, then install. See if that helps. Its worth updating the firmware anyway :P

  • Cannot open many links

    I have been using Safari 3.2.3 on a G4 Powerbook running OS 10.4.11. For no apparent reason I can no longer open many links, which appear in web pages, by clicking them. These seem to be primarily those that offer free application downloads, Nor will they open if I copy and paste them in the Address Field. In both cases the status bar starts to move across the address but then shoots to the end and finally retreats to the beginning. I have found no way to open any of these links, which means I could not download Safari 3.2.3 to reload it. I also could not download Firefox. I did download Safari 3.2.3, using Netscape that was already in my applications folder, but reloading it did not solve the problem. Running the original Software and Restore disc that came with the computer didn’t help either.
    I would very much appreciate any help in getting back the full functionality of Safari.
    Thank you
    Ted Stampfer

    I deleted all the mentioned files, restarted, and still had the same problem. To make sure everything was deleted I looked in each of the folders and found that history.plist, lastsession.plist, and webpageicons.db were back in library/safari. I deleted them again, restarted safari, and they were back; I still can’t download many files.
    Would reinstalling OS, 10.4.11 solve the problem? I hate the thought of doing it, particularly a clean install. I think I remember way back in OS 9, or maybe 8 or earlier, there was another, not quite so severe, option. Was that what is now called “archive and install”? Are all the bugs worked out Leopard?

  • I can no longer see my pointer and pull down windows pop up on everything!!! HELP

    I can no longer see my pointer and when I go to say "applications" a pop up or pull down menu open up...a tiny noe with words. Before a window with icons would open up and I liked that. Its also happening with the internet. instead of having apointer I see nothing and a pull down menu appears. I can't shoose anything because there is no pointer. What setting is this and how do I change it back? I want a normal pointer where I click on link and they open new links then I can type where I click too.

    dunno....could be a gamble...you might have Simple Finder turned on, or accessibilty (for those with vision problems, etc). I think pressing Command+Shift+F8 (that's fn+f8 key) ought to turn it off. If you're really stuck
    command+Shift+3 or command+Shift+4 will let you take a screenshot of your desktop which you might be able to post here. Also, check your views setting (Command+J key) which will let you display icons and stuff)
    maybe you hit that by accident
    good luck

  • Regression from CoolEdit: Can no longer close file if playback is on.

    Hello,
    I open a bunch of files.
    I'm jumping around.
    I'm listening to selections.
    I'm copying selection ranges to new files.
    I'm making a whole bunch of cuts.
    I'm closing files and cuts I no longer need.
    I'm jumping, listening, closing. editing, jumping, copying. Doing stuff.
    I'm flowing.
    You've inserted a new step right into this middle of this workflow which accomplishes absolutely nothing except to slow me down:
    I can no longer right click a file and press "Close Files" if playback is engaged.
    The "Close Files" context menu entries is now grayed out for no reason.
    Who cares if playback is on? I want to close the file. I just *listened to something in it* to find out that it's one I don't need anymore.
    best regards,
    - Pzyn

  • Can no longer open two Firefox tabs, have close using Task Bar/Processes. Some links won't activate on websites. As per support suggestion,have backed up profile, deleted existing profile, removed firefox and replaced thingsetc

    Can no longer open two Firefox tabs at the same time. Will disappear from screen but won't close - have to go to Task Bar/ Processes to close it, some links won't activate on websites. As suggested in the support area I have gone through the process of backing up my profile, deleted existing profile, removed firefox from computer, reinstalled profile in fresh folder, reinstalled firefox 6. I have done this twice for no effect - may work as it used to for a while (30mins) then gets back to its old tricks.
    It is a bit irritating.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
