Network and 'file:///' links do not open after upd...

In older versions of Skype we could use links like:
file:///C:/Users/Dmitry/Pictures/CloudShot/shot_150228_130027.png
\\m1fsg1.msk\share\AT\F1\ScreenShots\shot_150227_172758.jpg
After major update (version with new UI) these links doesn't anymore =(
'file:\\\' links are not even highlighted anymore, netwok links are highligted but not working either. See image below with URL samples:
Is there soluiton for that?

Possibly a result of using a different home page, I use my own home page and have not seen any difference in regards links opening within the same tab, another tab, or another window in conversion from Firefox 3.6.17 to Firefox 4.0.1
Generally you would have your Tools > Options > Tabs set up to open New Windows in New Tabs instead. You would have Google open links in a New Window which equates then to a new tab (but the same new tab each time).
You can change your settings for Google searches at the top of a Google search results page "Search Settings". Stored in cookies or at Google, you may have to set up separately for logged in and not logged in to Google.
Did you have extensions to work with Google, they may not work anymore, check them out carefully. "Google Optimizer", "Optimize Google" both no good to me, but I can use "Google Enhancer" and "Adblock Plus" to do what those did for me.
These are options for Tabs that I have that differ from the default,
* |browser.tabs.closeButtons| 3|
* |browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab| false|
* |browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadGroup| 0|
* |browser.tabs.loadInBackground| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadOnNewTab| 1|
* |browser.tabs.openinnewtab| true
* |browser.tabs.tabClipWidth| 5|
* |browser.tabs.tabMinWidth| 0|

  • File Vault will not open after Safari/ITunes update

    I just ran an update for Safari, ITunes, and Security, and after restart, I get the following after entering my password: "Your FileVault-Protected home folder did not open, and needs to be repaired. Click ok to repair, or cancel to cancel login"
    Obviously, I clicked "Ok" to repair. and I got this message: "you are unable to log in to the user account XXXXX at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred"
    And that's ALL it does.
    Any suggestions?

    I had the EXACT same thing happen. I ran those three updates, restarted and got the message you did. I talked to a 1-800 tech then had an appointment at the local Genius Bar today. They told me in order to recover the files in my user folder I will have to connect to another Mac HD via firewire and access the user folder by entering my FileVault password. Trouble is .... I don't have a Filevault password. I never set it up for fear I wouldn't remember the password and get locked out of my computer. Well, looks like Apple did it to me in spite of my best intentions.

  • IBooks, Maps and App Store does not open after Mavericks installation

    I'm having troubles after I update to Mavericks, iBooks, Maps and App Store doesn't open, I can't check for updates or anything. How can I reinstall Mavericks or how can I solve the proble.
    Thanks for your help!!

    Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and use Disk Image to repair disk permissions and the disk itself.  Reboot and try again.
    To reinstall the system boot again into the Recovery volume and use the install system option. That will reinstall only the system.

  • After updating to Firefox 3.6.9, when I click on a link in Outlook email, I get a message which says "General failure. The URL was: .... An error occurred in sending the command to the applicatio." and the link will not open. How can I fix this?

    I updated Firefox yesterday to 3.6.9. When I receive a URL link in an email within Outlook, I cannot open the link in Firefox. As I said in the question, when I click on the link, a Microsoft Office Outlook error message appears which states that a General failure has occurred in sending the command to the application (which is Firefox). I am using Office 2007 This did not occur prior to the upgrade of Firefox.

    See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

  • Safari and Mail will not open after software update

    After doing the monthly software update yesterday, my Mail and Safari programs will not open. I click on the icon in the dock or in the Applications folder and I get nothing. The icon in the dock jumps, but nothing opens. I've read several other discussions and tried dragging several files out of the library, such as plist files and history, etc., but they still won't open. The software update only updated iTunes and iPhoto and included the most recent security update. I have not tried to reload Safari. If I do that (and it works), what do I need to do for Mail? Will I lose all my emails? Can someone tell me what I can do to get both programs back working properly? Thanks!

    Another approach is to reapply the 10.3.9 combined update. "Repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    As far as your e-mail's are concerned, the database files are maintained in your User account>Library>Mail folder. It's very important you backup this folder periodically to external media regardless of circumstances to preclude losing your e-mails in the event of file corruption.
    Best maintenance strategy is a full backup of your HD on a bootable external (firewire) hard drive. Makes life a lot easier in the event you need to revert your HD to its state prior to an System Update gone bad.

  • After searching in Google, resulting links will not open, get a 'Firefox not responding' message. What is the solution? Ray Allum

    After doing a Google search for web sites, the reultant links will not open, a 'Firefox not responding' shows in the URL bar.

    I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

  • Why does i tunes keep bouncing and not open after I have done an update

    why does i tunes keep bouncing and not open after I have done an update ?

    Hello, romani-jo. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC.  Try launching iTunes after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

  • HT2693 My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

    My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

    First of all - you are running the proper iOS in order to use the latest version of Pages - correct? You need iOS 6 now.
    If so ....See if this helps. Maybe Pages will open after you try this.
    Quit the Pages app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or ..... Reboot 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.
    If that didn't help backup and send your files into iTunes with file sharing.
    You could lose all of your files if you delete and reinstall the app. That is precisely why you should backup your iPad and send your files into iTunes using files sharing on the iPad. Do you backup or use file sharing?
    Backup your iPad, send the files from the iPad into iTunes using file sharing and then delete the app and reinstall it.

  • When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

    When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

    Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

  • I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.  The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files.  These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera.  How do I fix this?

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.
    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.

    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.

    InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

    First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
    I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
    I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.
