Thunderbird 31.3 - Will Not Open Links in an Email in Firefox

Once again, I have an issue with Thunderbird and I cannot find an answer that works although I have tried the various suggestions in several posts. I have Firefox as my default browser (version 34.0.5) yet when I click a link in an email, it will not open up. What gives? Can someone please find me a solution that works so I don't have to go back to Outlook? Thank you!
God bless,
Vic

If it is none of those things in the article
Your issue may be an add-on. Restarting with add-ons disabled in the help menu will clear that up.
It might be your anti virus. Restarting your computer in safe mode will clear that up.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

Iphone 4s on ios7 will not open or save ics email attachment

My iphone 4s on ios7 will not open or save ics email attachments so I can update my calendar. I have to open them on my PC and then iCloud will sync my updated calendar across all my devices with no problem. However, when I don't have access to my PC I would like to be able to open the ics calendar item (or save it) on my iPhone so I can see what meeting or conference I have been invited to so I can reply promptly and keep my calendar up to date without needing to wait till I have access to my PC.

The exact same thing described above is happening me too and by the looks of this and other forums, its happening alot of people.
I have tried restoring from new and a DFU restore and nothing works.
Think Apple need to own up that this is a real flaw with the iPhone 4 and offer a repair or recall.

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

Run As Administrator Firefox will not open links in emails

When Firefox is opened with Run As Administrator links in emails will not open. Is this normal?
Using W7 Firefox 23.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
What email service are you using?

Windows 7 PC will not open links from PDF docs or other things outside browser since update

Just finished update on 9/8 on one pc and 9/9 on the other. This has happened on two PCs now, both running Windows 7 one is 32-bit and one is 64-bit. When clicking on a link in a PDF it will give an error message and will not open in Firefox. Also clicking on "Launch Dropbox website" will not work. Anybody know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Make sure you have a local installation of a PDF reader available. I recommend against using the Adobe software and going to oldversion.com to download an earlier version of Foxit reader (I recommend with going something before the 3.4 version to avoid the annoying Ask.com adware that's associated with newer versions of Foxit. After you've installed Foxit reader, download a PDF file and save it to your downloads folder, open up Windows explorer, right click on the pdf file, select "Open With", click the box that says "always open files of this type with this program", then select Foxit Reader. That should solve your problem.

Firefox won't open until I restart my computer, and will not open links once it is open.

When I click the icon to open Firefox, it shows the little loading circle for a second or two, but then does nothing. Other browsers work fine on my computer, but when this happens I have to restart my computer and then it will open until the next time I log in to my computer. Also, when Firefox does finally open, it won't allow me to click on certain links within a website. It shows the hand cursor over the link, but when you click on it nothing happens and it will not open. I have tried doing a system restore, uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, all kinds of troubleshooting, and still nothing has worked. I love Firefox, but if this keeps happening I will have to stop using it altogether.

When you uninstall firefox, do you go to the control panel and in C:/ProgramFiles/(delete mozilla firefox)? Or only one of the two options?Try.

Re-installer Kaspersky and now my Firebox will not open and tried a reload of Firefox but says close Firefox but is not open

Re-installed Kaspersky when reactivated account and now my Firefox will not open not even a message to allow or anything. Went to Mozilla to reload went ok till the install standard tellsme to close Firefox but it is not open, remember I could not open it ths the re-install and does not show in task manager or anything. Might be Ok if a valid message but nothing that makes sense.

hello, this crash is related to your graphics hardware & a recent windows update. please start firefox in safemode (by pressing the shift-key while it is launching) & go to ''firefox > options > advanced > general'' & disable hardware acceleration.
for some background on that issue you can also refer to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812683 bug #812683]

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

Explorer will not open and I want to download Firefox, but have no browser. What can I do?

Internet Explorer will not open on my husband's laptop. There is internet service, but no browser. I want to download Firefox but have no browser to open. Is there a way to download it on a thumb drive and then upload it to the laptop?

Download the Firefox installer on another computer and copy the file to an USB memory stick.

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
== I'm not sure when

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?

Safari will not open link from email

When trying to open a link from an email in Postbox (3.0.11) Safari 8 (OS X 10.10) will open a new tab, but nothing else happens. The new tab remains blank and the address bar is blank. This occurs when Safari is set as the default browser.
When I set Chrome as my default browser, Chrome will open the same link without any issues.
Any ideas or is this an undocumented feature for the new Safari.

Uninstall SIMBL as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
          Application Support/SIMBL
          InputManagers/SIMBL
          LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
          LaunchAgents/net.infinite-labs.SIMBLEnablerForSandboxedApps.plist
          ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

Any & all links in my Gmail account will not open. In order 2 confirm Firefox subscription I had to confirm using Explorer. I just switched Browsers today with much disappointment. I cleared cache and cookies and tried all else I know but no luck.

Any and all links I click on from my Gmail account do not open.

Firefox will not open links embedded in Microsoft Outlook emails - why

Firefox is set as my default browser. When trying to open a website via a link in an email, I get an error message that says "This apperation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer".

This is usually caused by a problem with a registry key.
