Opening any link causes location in current page to jump back to top of page.

I have FF set to open all new windows in a new tab which was the default setting. Whenever I open a link, the new link will open in another tab, but on my current page/tab I will be transported back to the top of my current page/tab. You can imagine how annoying this is especially on long pages. Does anyone have a solution for this? One thing I have tried is highlighting some text near the link I am about to open and sometimes this will prevent the page from moving back to the top when I open the link, but not always. Thanks for looking, (FF 3.6.18 on linux)
-This occurs whether I have FF set to switch immediately to new tab, OR not.

Thank you Cor-el! That did the trick, but I'm not sure why.
Just FYI I restarted in safemode, and chose to continue without selecting any of the options just as you said. I tried clicking on links further down in the page, and the page DIDN'T jump back to the top! I checked to make sure the default theme was selected which it already was.
When I restarted Firefox in normal mode, it continued to do the right thing and did not jump to the top for each link open. I have no idea why your solution worked, maybe it reset something? anyways, thank you again, wonderful help!

Unable to open any links. The entire web page appears greyed

Hi:
Ever since I stayed at a hotel this weekend and tried to use their wifi, I have been unable to do any more than access a single web page at a time. The page appears grey, and the links and scrolling are not operative.
Does anyone have any ideas.

I suggest you go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. After resetting, you will probably need to reenter any WiFi passwords.

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

How can I make a link a different color than the other links according to the current page?

Hello. I have created a navigation bar. And I would like to style the links to have the current page link a different color than the other links. For example, if all of the links have a black background, I would like to have the current page link to have a white background. The reason that I would like to style them this way is so that the visitor knows what page is being visitied.
I tried different ways but all of them did not show to make any change to the links. This is what I have so far. The links work, but all of them have the same color and background. When on the home page, I would like to have the home page link to have a white background with black letters. I would appreciate your advice.

Can't open any links within the emails using Firefox. I can open them in other browsers however. The message reads, "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program.". How can I fix this?

Looks like blocking software to purposely block a page by messing with the url.

So I'm not Mary Frances. I'm her husband who is force to deal with this opaque and obnoxious equipment (iPad). With the iOS 7 update she could no longer follow web links by tapping them in an e-mail (it did work from a web page). After an hour of web searching, experimenting and rejecting the offer of an answer from apple help for only $20, I found that, if in settings/safari, you turn off the "Do Not Track" button, the ability to follow links in an e-mail by a tapping is magically returned.
Flash! I just went back to the ipad and turned on the "Do Not Track" button -- just to test my discovery. Predictably (by my cynical myself) you can still open a link in an e-mail, so I don't know what's happening/happen. But I'm not surprised.

I have iPhone 4s, and using latest iOS. When I try to open any link from Twitter or Facebook, it goes to open some wrong webpage. My iphone seems to be infected or suffering from some spyware or malware. How can I remove this wrong link opening ? Please help me to resolve...

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

Ios7 bookamrking web application to home screen via Safari crashes after login and when we try to open any link inside. Can anyone please tell me if there is any scheduled fix for this bug in safari?

ios7 bookmarking web application to home screen via Safari, crashes after login and when we try to open any link inside from the icon that gets created on the home screen. Can anyone please tell me if there is any scheduled fix for this bug in safari?
From what i understand i see that - Cookies are not transferred between your website and your webapp when installing the icon on the home screen (for authentication purposes for example). It was working until 6.1 and now it’s not working anymore.
Can someone please tell me if this bug will be fixed in any future release, if so the ticket number of some kind that i can track, or if there is a workaround for this issue?

It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.

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.

If the preinstalled Apple apps are working OK - download another app - any free app is fine. See if that lets you use the other apps afterward.

Firefox is launching but not opening any links

Problem : My firefox is launching successfully but not opening any links
Details : For my Selenium automation , i have installed\uninstalled older and new versions on FF. Now
my FF is not opening any links.
As suggested

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

When in Safe Mode... 
* The status of plug-ins is not affected.
* Custom preferences are not affected.
* All extensions are disabled.
* The default theme is used, without a persona.
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
* The default toolbar layout is used.

When i m open any link in new tab its shows nothing its browse and showing blank page

for eg when i search some thing in google search many link of websites are showing in list when i click any link to open with new tab it showing blank page

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
