Opening a link from Mail freezes Safari

I have emails the include hyperlinks sent to me, and when i click on them Safari opens and begins to load the page, but once I try scrolling down or going to anything else, Safari freezes and displays a spinning rainbow-colored circle. I then have to proceed to Force Quit Safari and re-start. I already tried re-setting Safari but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try deleting this file. com.apple.Safari.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, post a crash log.
How to locate a crash log:
1. Open Finder.
2. Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
3. Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog:
~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
4. Click the Go button.
5. Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the most recent.

  • 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. 

  • I can't download videos in Safari. I can't open Adobe documents from Mail or Safari even though I downloaded Adobe from the App Store.

    I can't download videos in Safari? It doesn't tell me why or how to fix it.

  • 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).

  • IPad Air too much time to open a link from Mail

    SInce the last update to iOS 8.02 my iPad Air takes too much time to open a web link from the Mail App, Safari open itself with a long delay.
    furthermore The attachments into email are often not readable, have to reload the message to be able to open the attachment.
    LAst but not least, I have too many messages not downloaded from the iMap server and I can read just the title of it.

    There's a large thread around about this Dolphin problem.
    Disabling Nepomuk in System Settings has proved to be the
    cure in many cases.

  • Safari keeps crashing every time I try to open a link from a different application, i.e. Mail. The trouble report says that some problem occurs with libcooliris.dylib plug-in. Can any one help?

    Thanks!

    Dear Linc,
    Thank you for the advice, John Blanchard1  and Linc Davis
    As suggested in your reference thread I removed "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpPostScriptPDE.plugin" and the problem has been resolved.
    I am guessing the the plug-in for the hp printers got corrupted and effected every thing, or became unsuitable when I installed an Apple update. I would be most grateful if you can confirm how the problem was coursed so I can understand and learn from this experiance.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Firefox 32.0.1 installed on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and links from Mail no longer open. Click a link and Firefox opens, but the link doesn't appear or activate.

    Some users have a similar problem to this, but if FireFox is already open the link from their mail client will activate in FireFox. For me, once I click a link in an email, FireFox immediately becomes the active application, but nothing further happens. FireFox has been the default browser for ages, but I stopped that, and set Safari as the default. Then quitting and re-opening FireFox I re-established it as the default browser, but the problem persists.

    It amuses me that the email that was sent to confirm the posting of this question had a clickable link. Naturally that link did not work. Cutting and pasting it into FireFox allowed me to complete the posting process. Annoying.

  • 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.

  • Safari doesn't "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" and links from Mail

    After a crash I found myself trying to "Reopen All Windows From Last Session", then I found that if I click a link from Mail it does not open it ... as well from any other application. It's like only workin' within itself and can't interact with any other application. Plus I used a lot "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" and now it doesn't work

    Same thing just happened to me. Reinstalling Saferi did not help.

  • HT4061 I opened a link from a spam e.mail. will it effect my iPad? can my iPad get viruses

    I opened a link from an e.mail that turned out to be a spam, will it effect my iPad, can my iPad get a virus?

    Yes. As long as you practice safe internetting. If you click on a phishing mail and enter your info into a bad site, your info is just as compromised as if you entered it on a computer. You can still be phished on an ipad. It will give you protection from viruses (they literally can't run) but your data is only as safe as your actions.

  • On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla

    On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.5; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
    But thanks anyway.

  • I opened a link from a malicious email

    I opened a link from a malicious email, now I can't leave the page without clicking a button in a dialog box. I force-quit Safari, cleared the history and re-started the Mac but the  page reopens with the browser.

    Hold down the shift key as you launch Safari.

  • Open a link from an email received ?

    Have this problem for quite awhile, I cannot open a link from email received, what should I do, update or whatever etc., !

    the Home button is the round indented button on the front of your iPad immediately above where the cable (to charge / sync) plugs in.  It has the symbol of a square with rounded corners on it.
    A reset will fix somethings that a power off then on won't.
    Before you do the reset you should probably quit Mail:  go to the multitasking screen  (press and hold the Home button until a screen appears with a row of preview windows for each open app, each with the apps icon underneath), then swipe the Mail preview screen (not the icon) up off the top of the screen.  (there must be no left-right motion for this to work).
    As Jim said, do a reset by holding the Home button and the Power button down for 10+ seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait 30+ seconds for your iPad to restart itself.
