Since switching to Firefox, links pasted into e-mail are no longer blue and clickable. What can I do to make them work again?

The text editor is the textarea that you use on the webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail) website to compose a new mail.
Compare that with the "Post a Reply" textarea that you use to write a new post on this forum.
Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.
This button bar can also include a button to turn a link into a clickable hyperlink.
Check the tooltip of each button by hovering with the mouse over each button.

Firefox opens as clear window in W7 64bit; same in safe-mode - how do I fix that?

W7 64bit Firefox suddenly started opening as a clear window, only a red cross top right hand corner. Tried re-downloadiing and reinstalling and same issue.
Tried running in safe mode
Have restarted computer
Can run Google Chrome (don't want to use IE so quickly got chrome) without any issues and have not changed anything on the computer before it stopped working or after.
Last windows updates were over a week ago and firefox was working fine after that.
I have just recently done a AV scan with threats removed but again Firefox was working after that and after many shutdown/restarts after that.
A week prior to this issue I edited start up via MSCONFIG to stop some unwanted programs running at startup - again, many restarts and shutdowns since then with Firefox working successfully each day.

Clicking on mouse wheel no longer opens links in a new tab after upgrading to 8.0.1, how can I fix that?

I've searched high and low for the answer to this, tried updating my mouse drivers, installed Tab Mix Plus, some greasemonkey scripts, and STILL can't get my mouse wheel to open new links with a click. Any help would be great

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I use mymsn page and when upgrading to Firefox 4 the changes went away and I can not make changes to the stocks area or see my emails. How do I fix that?

Mymsn has areas that allow you to list your stocks and also an area that allows you to see what emails you have waiting to be read. Both of these areas went away when I upgraded to Firefox 4 last week. When clicking on the menu area to make changes, nothing happens. How do I get back the information that was in these areas? Also the customize button does not work.

Do you have Adblock Plus installed? If you do, disable on the page where you normally see your stock info. I've uploaded an image of what happens on another site where ABP is enabled. The Global News image disappears with ABP enabled even though it's not an ad.
If that doesn't work, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Since switching to Firefox this week, when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in Outlook, I get this message, "General failure. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." It doesn't open a new window or do anything.

The setting in "Tools > Options > Tabs" only works for links that would open in a new window. 
That option allow you to divert such calls to a new tab. 
For other links you either have to use a middle click or a Ctrl + left click or use the context menu.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

How can I change the format of text pasted into a Mail email from another document?

I paste some text from a word document into an email in Mail. In the word document, the text was indented .5" from the right margin. In the Mail email document, the text also appears indented .5" from the right margin.
But since this was the last text in the email I am composing, my text following the pasted-in part continues at the indented "style" of the pasted in text. And thre are no controls for changing this indentation on subsequent text in that email, nor can you chage the indentation formatting of the text pasted in.
Even when you select "decrease indentation" under the format/indentation options in the menu bar, Mail will not reduce a "pasted-in" paragraph indentation nor will it return a subsequent text paragraph you type in manually back to a left-adjusted margin.
Am I miising something?
Is there a way to see something in each Mail message composition window akin to what you see in a word processing document that allows you to set margins and indentations and tabs for individual paragraphs? Just like the Formatting controls you have here in the Apple Support communities when you ar composing a message and that I used to indent this paragraph?
And then used to return this paragraph back to the original left adjusted formatting?
Steve

Thanks for the reminder. I use the formatting toolbar but forgot to go there instead of the Format menubar item for Mail to try the indent and outdent commands.
But, alas, that indent, outdent option has no impact on text pasted into the message. It remains stuck at the indent level of the source text.
Might the answer lie in switching to plain text and formatting there? Tried that and no difference.
I did discover that if you highlight text pasted in with its "own" indentation preference "baked in" you can indent that text further and even "outdent" it back to where it was, but you cannot shake it's original indentation status to get it back to full left margins.

Since the recent upgrade lost my bookmarks and abIlity to hear sound on videos.How do I fix that NOW!

Since the recent upgrade I lost my bookmarks and ability to hear sound on videos. First I lost VIDEO then thought it was fixed only to find I had no SOUND when the video opened.How do I fix that NOW!
I have lost a week fiddling with reinstalling and suggested fixes to no avail. I have important bookmarks used in project research and study plans . Can I go back to my original last working version?
NEED HELP ASAP
THIS IS A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT I THOUGHT IS A GOOD BROWSER - NOT SO SURE ANYMORE!!!

Hi movision,
Sorry you are having problems with lost bookmarks. I note you had problems last year [/questions/851481] and hopefully this time you will have been routinely making your own backups of bookmarks.
* see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
So two steps
# Immediately make a backup of your firefox profile (That ensures any auto bookmarks are preserved). IMPORTANT do this first, restoring bookmarks overwrites existing bookmarks. Put the restored files somewhere safe such as your Windows desktop.
# Did you create any bookmark backups, if so the linked article above explains how to restore those bookmarks
You may also be interested in using Firefox sync, if you have a second device,as it allows you to sync bookmarks on the other device; and they are effectively then backed up.

Can't sinc iPad compuiter recognizes it as a camera. How can I fix that?

Can't sinc iPad compuiter recognizes it as a camera. How can I fix that?

It's perfectly normal for your PC to see your iPad as a camera. In fact, the fact that it does that can make it easy to pull photos off of the iPad without having to go through iTunes.
When you plug the iPad in, does iTunes automatically open? or do you have to open it? iTunes can be set either way so if it doesn't automatically open you may need to manually open the program.
Your connection is good since the computer is seeing the iPad, it's just that iTunes isn't. Are you plugged into a hub or extender? if so, try plugging it into the mainbox of the computer.
ALso try different USB ports.
If those switches don't work you may need to uninstall/reinstall iTunes.

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

Windows 7 (64-bit), ask my permition to run Firefox. That doesn't happen with IE8. How do I fix that?

Windows 7 (64-bit) Greek, ask for my permition to open Firefox. Not with IE8. How do I fix that?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since I selected Firefox as my browser from the window that appeared.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
