E61 Open Link from Mail launches wrong browser

Hi,
I've just noticed that, when following a web link from within an email received on my POP3 account, the phone lauches the basic web browser (i.e. the 'Services' application) rather than the more advanced 'Web' application - surely the page should be opened in the new clever browser with mini-map etc.??
This may be just another T-Mobile only issue - my details below:

Any feedback appreciated,
Cheers,

Thanks P,
Seems ridiculous really - there must be a way to configure which application is launched, just its not accessible to us plebs!
I'm really starting to wish I'd bought a windows based phone, while the E61 is very good in many ways, I'm getting fed up with all th faults I keep coming across... especially when some of these are so basic.
Given we've now had >4 years of Series 60 based phones, should we still be seeing these sillies?

Not opening links from mail - firefox turns grey at bottom

firefox usually opens links from "mail" in a new tab. Sometimes
firefox greys out and will not allow links to open. Clearing history
or restarting firefox solves the problem somettimes. Multiple restarts
may be required.

I suggest you to file a bug report regarding this issue: https://bugreport.apple.com/
I can confirm that Safari has serious issues with opening links from other applications. For example Content Guide links in Quicktime Player opens empty windows.

Firefox 3.6.15 on OSX 10.6.6 no longer opens links from Mail; Safari and Chrome will

Sometime around version 3.6.12 firefox, when set as the default browser, won't open links from Mac Mail. The firefox window will come to the front, but the link won't open. If I set Safari or Chrome as the default browser, they work.

The following worked for me:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/684867
"Problem: I had the same problem but with mac osx 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.6 sometimes prints and sometimes does not, but the preview was always blank and I could not save to pdf file.
Solution: I downloaded Firefox 3.5.10, installed it on my desktop and opened it, tried print preview and it worked, quit Firefox 3.5.10 and ran 3.6.6 and voila! print preview is working fine and I can save to pdf fine.
I guess running 3.5.10 fixes the profile in a certain way. I have no idea how that happened but it worked."

Safari not opening in landscape mode when opening links from mail

Hello,
Since the update to iOS8 I experience following: when using my iphone in landscape mode, opening links from the default mail app doesn't open Safari in landscape mode. I have to manually tilt the phone to portrait mode and back to get landscape mode.
When opening Safari manually in landscape mode, it works fine.
Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Hey there streatuac,
It sounds like the Safari app is not automatically switching to landscape when you open a link from the mail app on your phone. I would start by closing all the running apps on your phone first:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

How can I open links from mail in the background?

I receive a lot of digest emails with lots of links. I would like to be able to click all of the links in a given email, have Safari open those pages in the background, and then when I'm done selecting the links I can switch to Safari and read them all. It's a logical workflow for me: click all the links you want to read, THEN go read them.
But instead, every single time I click on a link it jumps to Safari, so I have to switch back to Mail, click on the next link (which again jumps to Safari), etc. NetNewsWire allows me to open all my links in the background so I can avoid all this switching back and forth--can Mail do the same thing?
Thanks in advance for any help ...
--Bill

You should be able to Command-click on the link in Mail and have it open in the background.

Cannot Open Links from Mail / SMS

I upgraded my C7 to Belle now. Bad news: When I receive a mail or SMS that contains a link to a web page, I cannot open it. What happens is:
I first get a notification sying 'Loading'. Then, one or two seconds later, it says 'Loading failed. Please try again later'
I am not 100% sure if this started with Belle. I installed quite a few application after I upgraded to Belle, so maybe it's one of those that causes the problem.
What I did, of course, was to check
Application Settings > Default Applications > Browsing internet
That's set to 'Internet', which I believe is what it should be. (I also tried to reset everything there, still nothing.)
I really, really, really wouldn't want to wipe the whole phone, re-install belle, re-install all of the applications...
Is there a way to check what really gows wrong and fix it?

Can you connect to internet from native browser or other 3rd party browsers like opera?

I am having trouble opening links from websites I am currently on. The window will pop up but the content is blank. What should I do?

I do not know if this is a result of something I did, or something that happened when I updated Firefox. Any help would be appreciated as I really need the windows to show the content I want to see. An example of what I am talking about:
I was on Verizon's website and I wanted to sign up for more information on the iPhone. When I typed in my e-mail address and hit the submit button, another screen pops up and where there would be a web address, it says "Search Bookmarks and History" but will not show me the content.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Firefox won't open url links from mail

I don't know if this question has been asked yet, but I am having problems opening links from mail. I am using Firefox 3.5.3 and Snow Leopard. Every time I click on a link in my mail firefox opens to the homepage. Firefox will only link to the proper webpage if it is already opened. Does anyone know if there is a way to link directly to the webpage when firefox is not opened?
Thanks

Same thing here. Although mine just doesn't do anything. Firefox is open, but no new tab is created at all. Clicking a link in Mail does seem to activate Firefox's menu, though.
I just switched to using Firefox a few days ago, because my Safari kept crashing. Since my work is entirely on the web, I had to switch to keep functioning (but that's another issue).

Safari 8.0.2 updated on the 20Jan2015 and Link from Mail do not open | Advertisement pages opens | Blank page do not open on new window click, etc

Hi!
Safari 8.0.2 was last updated on the 20Jan2015 and is my default browser.
Below listed are issues with Safari after last two updates.
When I click web link from mail, Safari does not open that link. I changed to Chrome browsing & it works.
When I click to open new window from the dock, I get last browsing page of the previous opened window web page, where by my setting is for a bank page for a new safari window. .
Every time I click on the link to open in the same browsing web page, a new tab opens with advertisement web page. How can I stop advertisement pages to open automatically.
Safari does not open first time by one finger single click on the safari icon from dock, need two finger click and then select the preferences.
Thanks, will await your assistance & if required updated version at the soonest.

Mail 8.1 won't open links from messges

When reading a message, links within the message won't open. When I 2 finger click on the link, the drop-down window ask "open, open link behind mail, copy link, services" . None of them work.
Before Yosemite. I could 2 finger click and choose whatever, my preference was "open behind mail". Always worked.....
Now 2 finger (right) click does nothing.... If I just click on the link, it opens my browser on top of mail.

I just want to link to these earlier threads so you don't get a lot of duplicate suggestions that have already been covered there:
* [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1018542 Firefox won't open email links after update to version 32]
* [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1023202 No tab opens when I click on a link if any Firefox window is already open]
(There might be others, but those are the ones I've seen)
Work is proceeding on [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017595 Bug #1017595 – Links from external applications sometimes fail to open when Firefox is hidden] but as you can tell from the title, this is focused on the problem of Firefox not coming out of hiding from the dock or coming out of hiding but not loading the page. If this also occurs when Firefox is not hidden at all, there may be a secondary issue. But hopefully solving the one will solve the other. Unfortunately, I don't know whether it will be in time for Firefox 33.

Safari is not opening any links from Mail.

Safari is not opening any links from .Mail. I am having to copy and paste every one into a browser. I've tried 'right-clicking' and then open with Safari but that isn't working either. Any suggestions?

Hi--thanks for responding. My default browser was set at Safari 6.0.

Open links from other apps in Private Browsing

When other Android apps open links in the default web browser, Firefox Mobile launches them in a normal new tab. How can I force these links to open in Private Browsing?

I'm not aware of a built-in way to do this: as far as I can see, Firefox for Android cannot be set to create new tabs automatically in private browsing mode. I took a quick look at the Add-ons site and didn't see a solution there, either. Hopefully you will get some more promising responses.

Unable to open links from e-mails

I am unable to open links from e-mails received. This problem has only just occurred. Can you help me please?

Mavericks "open link behind mail" broken?

In Mail, "open link behind mail" <option/control-click> doesn't open a tab (or window) in Safari under Mavericks as it did in 10.8. Is there a workaround? Thanks!

For me after the recent Mail update, some (but not all) still don't work when right-clicked and either "Open Link" or "Open Link Behind Mail" are selected. My digest e-mails from Salon.com are especially bad. They will open in my browser when double-clicked, so the problem is just a minor glitch. The nuisance of doing that is the browser becomes the active app, and then I have to return to Mail to continue reading messages.
