Snownews not opening links properly in Chromium

I have an issue with Snownews not being able to open links properly. My ~/.snownews/browser file just has "chromium %u" in it.
What happens when I open a link is that it opens a new tab in an existing Chromium window and tries to load some seemingly random class A IP address that I cannot ping, and then it eventually times out.

  • Firefox does not open links from third party applications correctly

    Hello,
    I have problem with my Firefox Developer Edition. The browser does not open links correctly. If I click on some link e.g. in Thunderbird Firefox open only blank (default) window. No target of given link. Has anyone an idea how to solve this issue?
    Thank you

    Have a look and see if SPDY is enabled. Enter about:config in the address window and spdy in the search window. If "network.http.spdy.enabled" is true, double click on the entry to disable it.

  • Firefox 5.0 does not open link into new window

    Firefox 5.0 does not open link into new tab. I have a netbook also and tab options work fine, links open into a new window. However on this Dell it does not work. Tab options in Firefox and Google are set right, but don't work that way. Running Windows 7 on Dell, Windows Starter on netbook.

    The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
    It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

    It's especially handy if your site gets to the point where you have more than about 20 pages.

  • Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

    Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The past few days, not exactly sure when, but recently.

    Hello John.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • Will not open link in new tabs, some of my add ons are not working properly

    I am using Firefox 3.6.6
    My add ons, such as Gmail Notifier and Forecast Fox are not showing up on the bottom, but they are all enabled and updated. Also, when right click and select Open Link in New Tab, it opens an Untitled tab.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    The current version of Greasemonkey is compatible with Firefox 29. Could you check to make sure it is not turned off? There should be a "monkey" icon on the toolbar. Clicking that icon turns Greasemonkey on and off; the "off" state is designated by a faded icon, while the "on" state has a full-colored icon.
    More generally, could you check for possible extension updates and disable unimportant extensions in case one of those conflicts with Firefox?
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, look for the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
    I also suggest disabling any extensions you won't be using for the next 24 hours so that you can test whether that improves Firefox's functioning.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any difference?
    One possible reason for hangs, especially where you eventually get a dialog indicating that a script is running slowly, is Flash. To minimize sites from using Flash unnecessarily, try setting Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
    On the Add-ons page, in the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
    Any noticeable difference?

  • Home page set to folder does not open links in multiple tabs. Only opens one and only partially.

    Hi there,
    In 'Tools / Options' my Home page set to a folder but does not open multiple links in tabs. It only opens the first link and only partially opens the page.
    The 4 pages I am trying to open are:
    http://www.live365.com/index.live
    http://www.facebook.com/login.php
    http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=10&ct=1193340789&rver=4.5.2130.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&id=64855
    http://webmail.123-reg.co.uk/index.php

    Hi this did not work either.
    Also when I tried to log into this forum the browser just kept taking back to the login page. There were no errors, it was as if it was stuck in a loop. The page refreshed but moved no where. My user name and password were there but nothing happened. It took a reboot to allow access.
    This seems to be something I have noticed. When a page reopens on start up or from a link it will not load the page properly causing errors.
    Also on a similar note the new Firefox is not remembering passwords. Specifically to hotmail.
    Cheers,
    Ash.

  • Safari doesn't open links properly

    hello.
    I have a problem with Safari on my Pismo Powerbook G3 - latest version with Mac OS X 10.4.8. The problem looks as follows: when i click on a link on a webpage, page goes blank, the link does not open, i can see no title at the current tab i'm browsing in (as i mostly browse with 3-4 tabs open) and all i can see in the address bar is the text "Go to this address". It always happen when browsing Apple Discussions, whenever i click next to see the next page of posts, this thing happens. Anyone seen that before ? How to fix it? Thanks for all of your suggestions.
    iMac Core Duo, Powerbook Pismo G3   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    It depends on the website. Some websites have it set up to take you to a new tab, some do it in the same tab.

  • Can not open linked files - word documents

    Hi,
    Currently running SLED10sp1 with Adobe Reader 7.0.8 at a school. Some educational CDs use PDF documents with links to various files on the CD, especially word .doc files.
    For example, one of the CDs has a start.pdf file in the root of the CD. When you open it it has a menu of a couple of categories. When you click on one of the categories it open activities.pdf which has an index of various subjects.
    When you click on one of the subjects Adobe Reader says "Adobe Reader could not open 'act-01-01.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    Click "OK" - the only option.
    Adobe Reader says "The application "/media/path/do/act-01-01.doc" is set to be launched by this PDF file. The file may contain programs, macros, or viruses that could potentially harm your computer. Only open the file if you are sure it is safe. If this file was placed by a trusted person or program, you can click Open to view the file."
    Buttons available are "Do not show this message again", "Do Not Open" and "Open".
    Clicking Open does nothing.
    When double clicking act-01-01.doc file from Nautilus it opens fine using OpenOffice.org 2.1's Writer.
    When running Adobe Reader from the command line the following output is generated when clicking on the link to act-01-01.doc:
    sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
    sh: -c: line 0: `DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 ; export DISPLAY ; ( ) &'
    Then when the "Open" button is clicked:
    sh: /media/0731401689/technology/activities/chap01/act-01-01.doc: cannot execute binary file
    The "Allow documents to open other files and launch other application" tick box is ticked in the Preferences.
    Can someone please help.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Rob

    Thanks Salil, that works for one CD, the other CDs have spaces in files and directories and it looks like Adobe Reader doesn't know how to deal with the spaces.
    For example:
    In a terminal I execute:
    acroread /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/PDF/MQ9\ NSW\ 5_3\ Tech\ files.pdf
    When I click on any of the links that link to a word doc files Adobe Reader exhibits the exact same behaviour as in my initial post.
    This is the path of the file Adobe Reader tries to open:
    /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/Technology files/MQ9 NSW 5_3 TI GC programs/TI GC word docs/010-CoinflipTI.doc.
    When I click open, this is what echos in the terminal:
    sh: /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/Technology: No such file or directory
    I hope there is a workaround for this because the mime fix only helped me with 1 out of about 10 CDs.
    For Adobe Reader to open Excel documents would I append:
    application/msexel; ooffice "%s"
    to /etc/mailcap?
    Thanks in advanced.
    Regards,
    Rob

  • Firefox does not open links in new tab

    Using Firefox 3.6.15 with XPPro, if I click on a link in Google (or on this site for that matter), it will not open a new tab. In the past, I had no such problem before 3..6.16.
    My husband is using Firefox 3.6.15 with XPHome and his does open links in new tab.
    I have not added any new toolbars sin updating to 3.6.15. Only use the Roboform toobar and Firefox's.
    I thought this might have something to do with Google, which I think used to have an option to open links in a new page, but can't find any such options on Google search page now.

    Maybe it is a conflict between Vimperator and a TabMix-like extension?
    I am not sure but go check your tab related perfs and add-on options may help.

  • Firefox does not open links with a new window or tab for certain web sites, e.g. Santander On line banking, help links.

    When accessing some sites where they have links for additional information that would normally open a new window or tab, Firefox does not open either. This happens on a variety of sites, most recently the Santander on-line banking site.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript
    Try to reload the web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • Can not open links while in browser?

    So, I can't click on links with the cursor while I am in browser,  if it highlights the link I can right click and hit open link, but can not just click with the trackball, does anyone know how to fix this?

    I asked your device operating system release?
    lol, no, not a virus.
    The most recent OS release you're likely running contains a bug. Just hover over the link and press Menu > Get Link.
    it's be fixed in a later release.

  • FF 3.6.12 will not open links from external sources (Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, etc)

    I have just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12 and links clicked in an external source will not open in Firefox.
    Firefox is set as my default program for web browsing. I have tried to open links from Outlook, Dreamweaver, Digsby, and other programs.

    I have the same issue, opening links from external programs like Word or Thunderbird does not work. This used to work before the update to 3.6.12
