OS X Mavericks: links in Mail do not open Firefox

With Firefox set as my default web browser, if I click a link in an email, nothing happens. If I change to Safari as the default browser, the links activate fine.
Edit: Tho shed more light on the subject, just tried clicking a link in App Store to a developer's site and got this error message: "The application Firefox cannot be opened -10810 "

LaunchSafari (yes, Safari).  Open its preferences, General.  What does it say for the default web browser?  If it doesn't specify your desired browser, i.e., Firefox, change it to that.  Then quit Safari, relaunch Mail, and see if your links work now.

  • Links in mail will not open

    After my so-called "techie" son (knows everything, 16 years old) used my MBP last week, I have a new problem.
    Links in email will not open when I click on them, I have to copy and paste them into the browser.
    I use Firefox 11.0.
    Mail for mac 4.5,
    Snow leopard 10.6.8.
    I don't see in firefox preferences or mail preferences where to fix this.
    Thanks, anyone, for taking a minute to help.

  • 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.

  • Links in Mail emails not opening in Firefox

    When I click on a link in an email (in Mail), normally the link would open in a new tab in Firefox. But this has stopped happening and now if I click on a link, the window switches to Firefox but nothing further happens: no new tab, and the link doesn't open.

    Hi There,
    By default you can’t add links but there is a trick to it that can do just that:
    Write a new email, add the urls in the new email as if its a signature.
    Then select the text that you wish for it to be a link and go to Edit then Add Link.
    Repeat that process for all your links then Copy and paste the manually created footer with links in the signature section under preferences...
    Good Luck
    Hardy

  • Hi, I have recently updated my OS X to Maverick. when I did, my mail programme (Mail) will not open - for me only. There are 4 other users of the iMac, and they don't appear to have any problems.

    Hi, I have recently updated my OS X to Maverick. when I did, my mail programme (Mail) will not open - for me only. There are 4 other users of the iMac, and they don't appear to have any problems.

    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space or click the Firefox icon on the title bar and see if you can resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

  • HT1338 Mail does not open after software update?

    My MacBook just updated with OSX 10.6.8 buildK549.  Now my Mail does not open. I get a message that the mail version 4.5  1084/1065 is not compatible with the OSX.  There was a new mail icon in the apps file but it did not open. Any suggestions?
    How do I reinsatll Mail?
    Thanks

    It's giving you that message because the update changed Mail from version 4.5 to 4.6 and it's seeing the 4.5. The part of the update that was meant for Mail failed because it couldn't find Mail where it was looking for it.

  • Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

    My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open.  Help please.

    You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
    Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

    Hello:
    You need to contact "epost."  The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.
