Thunderbird has hijacked Safari rss feeds - how do I stop this?

I installed Thunderbird a while back just to test its functionality. I use apple Mail.
Ever since, when I follow a link to an RSS feed in Safari, Thunderbird opens automatically. But I want to get the feed sent to Mail.
Does anyone know how Thunderbird is doing this. I can't find any options in Safari or Thunderbird to prevent this behaviour. And even when I deleted Thunderbird, Safari still tried to install it.
Please help!

Why does clicking on former RSS feeds in Safari open Thunderbird?

  • Unwanted urls load every time I open a new Safari window.  How do I stop this?  Is this spyware?

    I have 4 unwanted urls that load every time I open a new Safari window.  How do I eliminate this?  Are these spyware or other malicious code?
    I have trashed cache.db, history.plist and LastSession.plist and these did not solve the problem.  Thanks for any help I can get.

    I'm having trouble keeping up with this topic ... every time I've finished a post, there's three or four new replies showing up and the troubleshoot has moved on.
    The toolbars can be (silently) installed by a number of different packages/websites, although I fear I'm well behind the times on what packages/websites are most commonly installing them for folks nowadays. There's a lot of variations about, as it's a platform rather than a specific application:

    I'll defer to Carolyn on the state-of-the-art when it comes to removing the toolbars.

  • Home page hijacked by jzip. How do I stop this?

    I installed jzip last night and it hijacked my home page. I change my home page back to the default that I want and the next time I open Firefox the jzip home page is back. I uninstalled jzip but that did not correct the problem. I went into about:config and searches for jzip and change it there but that did not work. How do I correct this problem.

    Look in your Program Files for this folder and delete it "Windows jZip Toolbar." This is after you uninstalled the device from control panel. Good luck!

  • "Object has visibility layer override" .. how do i stop this?

    using CS3...I understand what makes this come up but dont understand how to make things update...
    Here is one example where this comes up. I have a bunch of business cards with each being its own file, each with a 2nd layer to it that is just the cut area border around it. When I print each card, i want the cut border to show for the customer. When i go to actually print, i will put them all on the same sheet and print at one time. I do this by dragging the ID files into the document that will have all the cards. Of course any changes made to the individual files will automatically (sometimes manually) update on the sheet with all the cards. The only problem I run into is if after I add these cards to the sheet and they still have those borders on it, I then have to go into the individual files and turn off the layers that have that border but this will never update in the linked file on the document using it. Instead with layers, I get this yellow and red eyeball that seems to say "Object has visibility layer override". The borders will still show on the document its linked to but the individual file, the borders are not there.
    How do I get the files using the linked ID files to read just as the individual files are without showing those layers? The only way around this I can find is to remove each card, turn off the layers in the individual files, and put the cards back on...which doesnt always do the trick, but still. Thanks!

    lark,
    Select the link on the page, then go to the layer visibility options dialog. There's a filed there to keep or update the layer visibility when updating the link. Perhaps you need to change that.

  • Thunderbird keeps wanting to compact files How do I stop this,I don't want this

    Thunderbird keeps wanting to compact files!
    I do not want this as I deleate them after a couple of weeks or save them to a file on the computer
    It keeps wanting to compact a dozen times a day !
    once a day is ok but everytime I look at an email it wants to Compact
    Don't like that
    Thank you
    Barry

    My Question is
    WHY would I lose my email, only if someone that thinks! I'm smart takes them,or writes a program to do that
    1) any I want, I save into a file on my comp, not in the email program
    2) when I deleate at least once a week I delete the deleted files
    I donot use the deleted folder as storage
    ON my previous email I had it to empty the deleted folder on closing the program, more sence
    3) This is a dusy about 10 or more yrs ago ! I compacted my email because my disk space was low, guess what! IT used up the space I had and locked my computer that I had to format the drive!!
    SO in my opinion compacting does not save disk space! ITS B S
    4) I have read that your compactor slowes down the email program
    SO why is it in my face all the time

  • Safari puts a copy of downloads onto my desktop even though i have the downloads folder specified as the save downloads to location in Safari preferences. How can I stop this from happening?

    I dont' want to have to keep manually moving each download off of the desktop. The downloads folder is selected as the location where i would like downloads to go. They are downloaded there but an additional copy keeps showing up on my desktop. Help!

    What are dmgs? I downloaded Microsoft Silverlight and the icon showed up on my desktop. I tried moving it to trash but it wanted to delete the whole program instead of just a shortcut. I opened the general tab in Finder's preferences and the only options that were selected to show up on desktop were External Drives and Cds, Dvds, and Ipods. THanks so much!

  • My iPad is turning on and off randomly when it has power Why? and how do I stop this from happening?

    Do I need to send this back to the apple store?
    When I have it plugged into the main power supply it only goes up to 3% of power and when I plug it into iTunes it runs out of power in about 2 minuites.

    I think you may need to book an appointment with a genius! They will fix it or replace it for you, for free!!! You can book an appointment at your local apple store at http://www.apple.com/retail
    Hope this helps

    why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off. Also it pops up any time that I click anywhere to do anything in safari. Please help.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Switching tabs causes an automatic tab reload in safari... how do I stop that?

    I generally keep 20 or so tabs open in my safari window. A month or so back, suddenly, each time I click over to a diffent tab the tab reloads. How do I stop this? And is this problem making my computer (fan or hard drive?) wind up for long periods of time? Sounds like a little jet engine about to overload.
    Thanks so much

    Hi..
    Yes. With that many tabs open, the CPU has to work that much harder and in turn the fans run more often. If possible, reduce the amount of tabs you have open simultaneouslly.
    For the tabs reloading issue...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
    If that didn't help, go to   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.2)
    Helps when you post to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and which version of Safari. v10.5.2 is outdated.

  • Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out at times and I loose all the pages I had open.  How can I stop this from happening?

    Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out, when I reopen it all of my pages are gone.  How do I stop this from happening?

    But if iit won't stay open, then it's quitting unexpectedly which is the same as a crash.
    There has to be a reason for that which a crash report should reveal.

  • HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • IPod will no restore shows unknown error has occured with code 1429, how do i fix this probem?

    Ipod classic 80G will not restore, says "An unknown error has occured, error code 1429" how do i fix this problem?

    This has just happened to me today. I have an iphone 5 on Verizon. I was using the internet on the device normally when it started. It couldn't access any online data even though it had 4 bars of service and LTE. I restarted it and it would be stuck "Searching for network". I tried wiping the phone with no luck. It gets stuck at around 99% of the firmware restore process and hangs there for about 25 minutes before itunes gives me the error described above. I tried the recover-mode restore with the same results.
    I need a working phone ASAP, this is extremely frustrating!

    . You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:
