Firefox does not open links from third party applications correctly

Hello,
I have problem with my Firefox Developer Edition. The browser does not open links correctly. If I click on some link e.g. in Thunderbird Firefox open only blank (default) window. No target of given link. Has anyone an idea how to solve this issue?
Thank you

Have a look and see if SPDY is enabled. Enter about:config in the address window and spdy in the search window. If "network.http.spdy.enabled" is true, double click on the entry to disable it.

Firefox 5.0 does not open link into new window

Firefox 5.0 does not open link into new tab. I have a netbook also and tab options work fine, links open into a new window. However on this Dell it does not work. Tab options in Firefox and Google are set right, but don't work that way. Running Windows 7 on Dell, Windows Starter on netbook.

The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The past few days, not exactly sure when, but recently.

Hello John.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Can not open linked files - word documents

Hi,
Currently running SLED10sp1 with Adobe Reader 7.0.8 at a school. Some educational CDs use PDF documents with links to various files on the CD, especially word .doc files.
For example, one of the CDs has a start.pdf file in the root of the CD. When you open it it has a menu of a couple of categories. When you click on one of the categories it open activities.pdf which has an index of various subjects.
When you click on one of the subjects Adobe Reader says "Adobe Reader could not open 'act-01-01.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Click "OK" - the only option.
Adobe Reader says "The application "/media/path/do/act-01-01.doc" is set to be launched by this PDF file. The file may contain programs, macros, or viruses that could potentially harm your computer. Only open the file if you are sure it is safe. If this file was placed by a trusted person or program, you can click Open to view the file."
Buttons available are "Do not show this message again", "Do Not Open" and "Open".
Clicking Open does nothing.
When double clicking act-01-01.doc file from Nautilus it opens fine using OpenOffice.org 2.1's Writer.
When running Adobe Reader from the command line the following output is generated when clicking on the link to act-01-01.doc:
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
sh: -c: line 0: `DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 ; export DISPLAY ; ( ) &'
Then when the "Open" button is clicked:
sh: /media/0731401689/technology/activities/chap01/act-01-01.doc: cannot execute binary file
The "Allow documents to open other files and launch other application" tick box is ticked in the Preferences.
Can someone please help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Rob

Thanks Salil, that works for one CD, the other CDs have spaces in files and directories and it looks like Adobe Reader doesn't know how to deal with the spaces.
For example:
In a terminal I execute:
acroread /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/PDF/MQ9\ NSW\ 5_3\ Tech\ files.pdf
When I click on any of the links that link to a word doc files Adobe Reader exhibits the exact same behaviour as in my initial post.
This is the path of the file Adobe Reader tries to open:
/media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/Technology files/MQ9 NSW 5_3 TI GC programs/TI GC word docs/010-CoinflipTI.doc.
When I click open, this is what echos in the terminal:
sh: /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/Technology: No such file or directory
I hope there is a workaround for this because the mime fix only helped me with 1 out of about 10 CDs.
For Adobe Reader to open Excel documents would I append:
application/msexel; ooffice "%s"
to /etc/mailcap?
Thanks in advanced.
Regards,
Rob

Firefox does not open links in new tab

Using Firefox 3.6.15 with XPPro, if I click on a link in Google (or on this site for that matter), it will not open a new tab. In the past, I had no such problem before 3..6.16.
My husband is using Firefox 3.6.15 with XPHome and his does open links in new tab.
I have not added any new toolbars sin updating to 3.6.15. Only use the Roboform toobar and Firefox's.
I thought this might have something to do with Google, which I think used to have an option to open links in a new page, but can't find any such options on Google search page now.

Maybe it is a conflict between Vimperator and a TabMix-like extension?
I am not sure but go check your tab related perfs and add-on options may help.

Firefox does not open links with a new window or tab for certain web sites, e.g. Santander On line banking, help links.

When accessing some sites where they have links for additional information that would normally open a new window or tab, Firefox does not open either. This happens on a variety of sites, most recently the Santander on-line banking site.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.

Can not open links while in browser?

So, I can't click on links with the cursor while I am in browser, if it highlights the link I can right click and hit open link, but can not just click with the trackball, does anyone know how to fix this?

I asked your device operating system release?
lol, no, not a virus.
The most recent OS release you're likely running contains a bug. Just hover over the link and press Menu > Get Link.
it's be fixed in a later release.

Home page set to folder does not open links in multiple tabs. Only opens one and only partially.

Hi there,
In 'Tools / Options' my Home page set to a folder but does not open multiple links in tabs. It only opens the first link and only partially opens the page.
The 4 pages I am trying to open are:
http://www.live365.com/index.live
http://www.facebook.com/login.php
http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=10&ct=1193340789&rver=4.5.2130.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&id=64855
http://webmail.123-reg.co.uk/index.php

Hi this did not work either.
Also when I tried to log into this forum the browser just kept taking back to the login page. There were no errors, it was as if it was stuck in a loop. The page refreshed but moved no where. My user name and password were there but nothing happened. It took a reboot to allow access.
This seems to be something I have noticed. When a page reopens on start up or from a link it will not load the page properly causing errors.
Also on a similar note the new Firefox is not remembering passwords. Specifically to hotmail.
Cheers,
Ash.

FF 3.6.12 will not open links from external sources (Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, etc)

I have just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12 and links clicked in an external source will not open in Firefox.
Firefox is set as my default program for web browsing. I have tried to open links from Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, and other programs.

I have the same issue, opening links from external programs like Word or Thunderbird does not work. This used to work before the update to 3.6.12

Snownews not opening links properly in Chromium

I have an issue with Snownews not being able to open links properly. My ~/.snownews/browser file just has "chromium %u" in it.
What happens when I open a link is that it opens a new tab in an existing Chromium window and tries to load some seemingly random class A IP address that I cannot ping, and then it eventually times out.

Firefox will not open links

if i try to open a link in firefox, it will not open unless i right click and select open in a new page

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
*Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
OR
*Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
*Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
Let us know if this solves the issues you are having.

Captivate 6.0 does not open linked PDF correctly

Hi everyone
We have Captivate 6.0.0.199 and are creating a project that will be delivered OFFLINE (either as html or as exe).
Within the project there is a button that links to an external PDF file.
Result: When launching the published project, the PDF does not open.
I have tested 2 attempts:
#1: I have entered the filename of the pdf just "naked" into the button action field ("zertifikat_de.pdf") leaving out any pathname. After publishing I have copied the pdf file into the same level as the other files (on my local harddrive).
Result: the locally started exe (or html) application does not open the pdf (nothig happens).
#2: I have used the fileselect-box to enter the file location of my pdf; so Capivate stores in the action box this:
"C:\Users\ast\Documents\LBET\translation\43_Captivate\zertifikat_de.pdf"
When publishing Captivate telle me to copy the linked files into the publish folder.
Yes, I copy the pdf into the publish folder.
Result: The published application does open a pdf but THE WRONG ONE! It references to the original source file location where cptx and the original pdf is. When I delete the pdf there, the published application DOES NOT open a pdf.
It seems the published application expects my development filepath on the end user macnine. Thats strange.
We need to make this application run e.g. on CD or in any arbitrary folder.
How can I get Captivate to do this?
Thx.
Alex

If you're intending to eventually deliver this from "arbitrary folders" on a LAN or from a CD ROM, then you're also going to run into lots of issues with Flash Global Security preventing your links from working.
Read up a little on the issue here:

E71 default browser does not open links

Hello everybody,
I am facing this strange behavior on my E71 default browser.
Say that I go to the google page and look for something, e.g.. Java.
I click the search button and the browser displays a list of results.
However, when I click on any of the links, the browser does not open it!!!
I also need to mention that it used to work some time ago. Unfortunately I am able to tell you what I have done/installed in order to break it.
Any ideas would be appreciated. My firmware is updated to the latest E71 available: 501.21.001
Thank you very much and kind regards,
Marius

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
