Thunderbird crashes when clicking on link in email.

Thunderbird v31.4.0
Linux Mint Debian Edition 3.1.2-amd64
Cinnamon 2.0.14
When clicking on a link within an email, the system crashes and the monitor display displays jagged, diagonal lines. A cold boot is required. This can be repeated.
Same results running in Safe Mode.
Any ideas?

try turning off hardware acceleration for the display driver.

When clicking on link in email, new tab NOT being created, but new window on existing tab - I want NEW TAB for each link clicked on...

Up until today, whenever I clicked on link in email, a NEW TAB would be created. Now, when I click on link, a new WINDOW on existing tab is created - I WANT A NEW TAB, not a window...

Hmmm, which mail site is this?
One possibility is that you had a tab-related extension that automatically opened regular links in a new tab, and that the extension was disabled because it was incompatible with the latest version. To check for disabled add-ons, visit the Tools > Add-ons dialog.
As a short term workaround: you probably know you can force a link to open in a new tab by holding Ctrl when you click the link, or by using the "middle" mouse button (often the scroll wheel). I find that quicker than right-clicking the link and choosing Open in new tab.

Firefox 22 crashes when clicking a link in a thunderbird 3.011 email

I updated to FF 22 a couple of days ago and found that when I clik on a link in a Thunderbird email FF doesn't start but immediately crashes. Safe-mode does nothing to help. If I start the browser first it seems to be ok. It is set as the default browser. The only thing that fixed my problem was reverting to FF 21.
Windows XP SP2
I've never had issues with FF so this is a new thing. I've tried reinstalling FF 22 and upgraded Thunderbird. It didn't help either.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

I keep getting an error when clicking a link in email if firefox is not already open

If firefox in not open when I click a link in an email I get an error message. If firefox is already open it opens a new tab and works okay. After getting the error message it still opens firefox and goes to the link.

The actual error was "There was a problem sending the command to the program". This was the message inside the error box. The error box also shows a message "https://support.mozilla.com/questions/887286#answer-2...". I cant read anymore and can't copy any of the links or message.

Firefox crashes when clicked on link in instant messenger

So a friend on mine sends me a link in Win Live Messenger (the older version 2009) and when I click on it, Firefox crashes. Actually it doesn't crash and there is no crash report left behind but the menu-address-tab bar goes away and absolutely no content is shown. All I see is the orange Firefox button above-left and my Firefox skin's background. Only reasonable thing I can do is close the window.
However it doesn't always happen this way. It seems the problem only comes up when the browser is already open AND minimized. Everything is fine if the browser is not opened at all before clicking the link or if it's opened and maximized. The problem works the same way with all links, not relevant to the content type or the website.
My guess is the new Firefox doesn't like opening a new tab while it is minimized. No such problem with older versions of Firefox or any other browser.

Safari 6.1 crashing when clicking on links (window.close script?)

Hi,
I am running Safari 6.1 on my MacBook Pro with Mac OSX Version 10.7.5.
I have Glims and AdBlock Plus installed to keep any advertisments to a minimum.
Since yesterday, Safari keeps crashing whenever clicking on a hyperlink in a webpage, any webpage.
It occurs almost every third time that I click on a link, or in a form e.g. to enter an email address.
First it will open an Untitled tab, and then a popup window which has the following string in the URL bar:
data:text/html,<script>window.close()</script>
Either Safari completely crashes, or I can click back into the main window to delete the "Untitled" tab and continue web browsing.
No matter what it is extremely bothersome.
I do not understand what is occuring.
The only thing I can think of, is that during yesterday I sent an infuriating letter to Google in regards to being force fed their Google+ social network, just so I could use an email account (and my YouTube account which they hijacked). I was also rather annoyed at their automatic categorisation (which would mess up my organisation) which I could not delete or remove despite what I did. I deserted their email by settinng a filter to forward all my email to another email account provider and delete Gmail's copy.
Is it possible that Google has retaliated by infecting my computer with a virus? I know that's a rather slanderous claim, but I just find it quite a coincidence for the altercation to occur and then on the same day, have this problem occuring in my Apple web browser on an Apple computer.
I was so offended that I was rather coarse-tongued with my words, so I wonder if they thought themselves clever and nerdy to cause a disruption in this way.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you.

First, even if Google could manage to infect your machine with malware of some kind, why do you think they would care one bit about your letter? I'm sure they get thousands of angry letters per day. I doubt they even read them all.
As for the issue, that's probably actually caused by Glims. You say you have installed it to keep ads to a minimum, but the latest version of Glims includes its own ads by default, and has been known to malfunction exactly as you describe. I would recommend removing it. Use the Glims uninstaller.

Mail app crashes when clicking a link in 6.1.2

Having just upgraded to 6.1.2 yesterday, my mail app is now crashing every time I click on a link in the mail. It is completely unresponsive and requires closing the app using the task manager. Any ideas?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Crash when clicking on certain links (have crash report #'s)

FF crashes when clicking a link (happens to random links, but can be reproduced reliably). It even happened while trying to submit this crash question.
'''Easy way to reproduce:'''
Visit: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090418084813.htm
Scroll to end of article, click link of "More information is available at: http://www.microtransat.org/"
That should cause the crash.
'''Alternate method''' (if you want a trusted website):
Ask a crash question on this website (mozilla), click on "Click for detailed instructions" under the "Crash IDs" section.
Insta-crash every time.

I wasn't able to reproduce the crash clicking from sciencedaily to microtransat. A standard diagnostic for possible interference by add-ons is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If the links works correctly, this points to one of your add-ons or custom settings as the problem.
Any change?

How do I change email client when clicking mailto links?

I have reformatted my computer about 1 month ago. Everything almost as I had it before. Just 1 thing that is bugging me.
'''My email client is IncrediMail'''. When clicking mailto links in Internet Explorer, my IncrediMail opens as it should do, but in Firefox (which is my preferred default web browser) it opens another tab, wanting me to sign in to GMail to compose my mail.
I do have GMail accounts, '''BUT''' I want Firefox to open up my IncrediMail to compose my emails, just like it did before my reformat.
Any ideas would be gratefully received ;)

To make Firefox use Incredimail for mailto links, do the following.
1. find the path to Incredimail on my Windows 7 machine it's:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\IncrediMail\Bin\IncMail.exe" (you can find this by right clicking on the desktop Incredimail Icon and selecting Properties. Copy this address))
2. Type about:config into your Firefox location bar and hit enter. If you've never edited used about:config before, you'll see a warning.
3. Click "I'll be careful, I promise!" This will bring you to the about:config window.
4. In the filter field type "gecko". Find the entry gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.name;
5. Right click and select Modify.
6. Paste or type the Incredimail path in the field provided "C:\Program Files (x86)\IncrediMail\Bin\IncMail.exe" (the qoutes are required)
7. Make sure that network.protocol-handler.external.mailto; is set to true.
That worked for me after many hours of searching and finding answers posted by individuals who wanted to help but didn't have a clue.

When I click a link in email from the dock I get "no associated application could be found", however if I used comcast email the link will open.Does anyone know how I can enable the links to open in my apple email account on the dock?

Barney,
I have four groups.
I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
Invalid Address
"<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address. Do you want to send it anyway?
I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,

When I click a link in email client (apple mail), it does not open in firefox. I have checked both Firefox and Safari and Firefox is the default browser.

When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.

Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.
See:
* [[How to make Firefox the default browser]]
* [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser

I can't always click on links in email to get to Firefox.

Firefox suddenly doesn't respond when I click on links in emails. The problem is sporadic, as sometimes it works fines. Sometimes I can solve it by double-clicking, sometimes not. Sometimes I can fix it temporarily by closing and restarting Firefox, but the fix only lasts a short time and I'm back to square one. I'm using Firefox 32.0 on a Mac using OS10.6.8.
I already tried making another browser my default browser, then switching back. Please advise. Thanks!

Do you only get this problem when Firefox isn't running or also when Firefox isn't running?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I installed v. 3.6.15 on 3/21/2011. Since then Firefox crashes when clicking on random e-mails in my inbox. I am running v. 10.6.7 on my iMac which I installed on 3/29/2011. I am running Java v. 10.6, Update 4, which was installed on 3/10/2011. My Adobe reader was just updated to v. 9.4.3. My iMac desktop is not quite 2 years old.
