TS3899 opening enbedded links in emails

I am unable to open embedded links in email after recent iOS upgrade.

I rebooted my phone and that seemed to do the trick. Funny how the simplest thing is sometimes the easiest to forget.

How do I make Firefox 4 the default browser? Whenever I open a link from email, it opens in the older version of Firefox.

I followed the installation instructions for Firefox 4, after I had the earlier version. Whenever I open a link from email or other programs, it opens in the earlier version of Firefox, not Firefox 4.

You'll need to get the Actions dialog to appear and check the use as default action at the bottom of the list. One of the common ways to get this to appear is to follow a link from an email program or a soical network app like Facebook or Twitter.

Thanks for the suggestion.
A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
But thanks anyway.

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic. 
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button). 
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink. 
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

Can't open web links in emails via Safari 6.1.6

Hello...
I'm working on a Macpro computer with OSX 10.7.5.
In Safari 6.1.6 I can't open ANY links that are in emails. Links to other web sites, links to file via you send it, nothing. I've disabled the block "pop ups" tab in preferences and still nothing. I don't want to upgrade to the new OSX, as everything else on my computer is running fine.
Can someone tell me what to do to get this working again….

I encountered the same problem. In my case, the culprit was a plug-in in the Internet Plug-Ins sub-folder of my User Account's Library folder.
Here's how I proceeded, based on a suggestion by Carolyn Samit here:
<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5117605?start=0&tstart=0>
1. Open the Finder.
2. In the Finder menu bar, click on the heading Go. Scroll down to "Go to Folder," and then click the mouse button again.
3. Copy the following phrase:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
and then paste that phrase into the field in the navigation window that appeared at the end of Step 2.
3. Click Go.
4. If you find a plug-in named AdobePDFViewer.plugin, drag it to the Trash.
5. Quit and then relaunch Safari. Then try to load in Safari a PDF from a web site. Then try saving it. Once saved/downloaded, try opening the PDF.
When I followed this procedure, the corrupted-PDF problem went away, thanks to Ms. Samit's suggestion.

Why does a different version of firefox open from links in emails

I haven't been using Firefox long but have added FVD speed dial and a couple of other things and I find that, if I click on a link in an email or something a plain version of Firefox opens, without any extensions etc. if the normal version isn't already running.
Is there any way to get my usual version to open from links?
I don't know if it makes any difference but I did switch to a portable version from the normal install as I run an SSD as a primary drive and couldn't get enough control over file placement with the normal install version and didn't notice if this happened before I changed over.

Sorry, Firefox Portable can't set as the Default Browser, which is what external links will use.

How can i open a link in email in browser?

I cannot open links that are located in emails in firefox

Which email program or webmail site are you using?
Do you get an error message, or does it open in IE, or does nothing happen when you click the link?

Open a link from an email received ?

Have this problem for quite awhile, I cannot open a link from email received, what should I do, update or whatever etc., !

the Home button is the round indented button on the front of your iPad immediately above where the cable (to charge / sync) plugs in. It has the symbol of a square with rounded corners on it.
A reset will fix somethings that a power off then on won't.
Before you do the reset you should probably quit Mail: go to the multitasking screen (press and hold the Home button until a screen appears with a row of preview windows for each open app, each with the apps icon underneath), then swipe the Mail preview screen (not the icon) up off the top of the screen. (there must be no left-right motion for this to work).
As Jim said, do a reset by holding the Home button and the Power button down for 10+ seconds until the Apple logo appears. Let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait 30+ seconds for your iPad to restart itself.

Won't Open link from email it gives me the option to open but does nothing when I click that open box. This is a new problem my phone never had trouble with this before.

When I try to open a link from an email it gives me a choice to open but when I choose open it won't! I used to be able to click right on a store or anything and it would open connect to the store. Very strange

Hi
It shows just 4 always as an option in the "open with" lsit. Also I haven't downloaded any apps for a while so why would it start now?
Do you know how I can estabilsh how many apps are counting toward this 10 and what they are?

TS3276 i am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

I am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

A few more details might help, if nobody else recognizes this.
What happens when you try to open the links?
Can you post an example of a link that doesn't work?
Is there any particular source for the mail with the (bad) links, or is mail from all sources failing?
If you happen to know it, what's the format of the mail message? (Maybe the message is an image?)
Do the embedded links work as expected from an OS X system running Mail.app, or some system and some other other mail client?
To view the link in iOS: if you press on and hold your finger on an embedded link in most contexts, iOS will show a pop-up with the link contents, and will offer to copy it. You can use that to acquire and post the link. If pressing and holding on the link doesn't offer the pop-up, the format of the link itself may not be valid, or it might not really be a link.

I can no longer open up any links on emails to any website. It just takes me to firefox but keeps the last page I was looking at. No problem using Safari however. ONly has happened since last update

I have an imac and using lastest firefox update. No links open to any website using firefox when I click on link on email. No difference if I right click and choose to open the link either

Hi Olivier,
Thanks very much for that. it worked on my powerbook(running Tiger). I went to the link and followed the instructions and it worked. Did i mention that my dad who has a iMac running Leopard now has the same problem. I thought i would just do the same but the Preference in Mail for Leopard is of course different. There is no icon called "Server Settings" under Accounts section like there is on mine. Do you have a link for the same kind of instructions for Leopard?
Thanks again,
Bryce

Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
 Cheers, Tom

Links from emails in MacMail no longer open sites on Firefox

Since updating Firefox, links from emails in MacMail no longer open sites on Firefox; I click on them, it goes to Firefox, but no page opens. Is this a problem caused by the latest security upgrade to Firefox? It happened immediately after I downloaded it. I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.6.

The irony that you sent me an email to confirm my post...by clicking a link... is not lost on me.

Link in emails to open the link in new tab, not a new firefox window with home page,

Link in emails open a new Firefox window with my default home page. How do I get Firefox to open the linked web page, in an new tab, as it used to do??
This is for Win XP, FF 17.0.1, using Outlook as mail client.

Do you mean the results from a search via the Google search bar on the Navigation toolbar or the Firefox Google home page (www.google.com/firefox) ?
For the Google website you can set your preferences on the Google.com page via the [http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en Google Search settings] link at the top right.
Results Window: Open search results in a new browser window.
You need to allow cookies for Google (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to save that setting, otherwise you have to repeat it.
For the Google search bar on the Navigation toolbar you can set the pref browser.search.openintab to true on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
