When I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail Firefox will not start
If Firefox is already running, clicking a hyperlink in an e-mail, takes me right there.
BUT if Firefox is NOT already running, clicking on a link does NOTHING!
This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.<br />
You can try to disable all extension to see if it still happens.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If it works in Safe mode or with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
You can also check for issues caused by DDE.

At first, after I re-installed the OS, nothing would happen when I clicked on an e-mail hyperlink. So I went to Folder Options in Control Panel and associated Firefox with the E-mail file type. Firefox then opened when I clicked on a hyperlink in an e-mail, but just opens to the Firefox start page ("Blank page"). Firefox does not open the URL in the hyperlink. I need guidance as to how to restore this function which worked perfectly before I had to re-install the OS due to a corrupted program installer. I have run the MS Office Detect and Repair function twice--both times indicating that everything is fine--but it does not make a difference in fixing the Firefox function.
NEW: An attempt to click on the link in Security Center to go to Microsoft Update brings up an error message that reads: "The requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context." I have no idea what this means, but I suspect it is related to the lack of ability to open Firefox to a link URL.
See the uploaded screen print(JPEG) below.
UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED!! Searched on error message on line, solution fixed problem. THANKS ANYWAY# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]] -
Since switching to Firefox this week, when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in Outlook, I get this message, "General failure. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." It doesn't open a new window or do anything. Any work around to fix this?
See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.
I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano, but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc. I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
option and check the Selected Artist … one.
I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
How can I change this to the second option?
Thanks.There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync. It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing. That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
NOTE: If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting). Please post back with more details about your situation. -

Firefox will not start when computer is restarted.
When I shut down or restart my computer, Firefox will not start. I will click the shortcuts, but nothing happens. There is no error message and as far as I know from searching, I have no security applications prohibiting it from starting. Once I reinstall after my computer loads, it works perfectly. How can I fix this so I don't have to reinstall Firefox daily when I turn on my computer?
Hello ShirodieSchone, try to run Firefox once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
also, if the above doesn't work, see if you can start firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=win7&browser=fx19 safe mode] by by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox.
Otherwise try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) and see if that helps.
thank you -

I had tried starting Firefox in safe-mode before I posted this request, but it did not work. I tried to restore the system to an earlier version, but that made everything worse. Two accounts were unusable and one sort of worked, so I reloaded the operating system and now firefox works, for how long, I don't know. But thanks again for your suggestion.

Firefox was working perfectly earlier today. This evening, when I tried to start Firefox as I usually do by clicking on its icon in the Windows 7 quick start bar there was no resonse. The same thing happens when I click on the application icon in the Windows Firefox programme folder. Is ther any way that this can be fixed easily?

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox will not start by clicking a link in an e-mail.
Clicking a link in an e-mail will not start up Firefox. Clicking the same link multiple times, causes multiple occurrences of Firefox to display as "running" in The Windows Task manager. I have to go into Task Manager and close all these then start Firefox from the Task Bar, and then click the link in the message to follow the link. Both Internet Explorer (11) and Chrome will open just by clicking the e-mail message link.
This is a new problem with Firefox as it worked as described above prior to update 29. I am now running update 30.Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Applications.'''
This list tells Firefox what to do with what type of file or action.
Look for '''Mail To''' and check its options.
Now, on the computer; '''Windows > Start.''' On the bottom is a search
box. Type '''Default.''' On the new list, click '''Default Programs.'''
Click '''Set Default Programs.''' Look for the program you want to
use, click it, and select '''Set This Program As Default.''' -
Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want. -
When I click on pictures on eBay and Facebook...it will not show pictures/enlargements...just blanks....will work with IE. NOT ff
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

When I click on "To" the names and e mail address do not come up but I can forward
I sign in..go to email....want to address who it is to go to, and when I click on the "to" the list of name and address do not come up and the little line that is in the address box disapears, and it seems like there is a "jump" on the e mail form...it seems to move up. I can open e mail to me, but can not address e mail out.
Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.
