    Every time Firefox opened

    Hi Becky,
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (link to article explaining how it works) - if it's something within Firefox (and it does sound that way), this should make it run normally until restarted.
    If Firefox works normally in Safe Mode, close it and start safe mode again, but on the starting dialog (again, see the article) select the "Disable all add-ons" option and click the "Make Changes and Restart" button.
    If Firefox still runs as it's supposed to, you can begin enabling the add-ons one by one, testing for each. This way you should be able to find the add-on that seems to cause the problem.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

  • Links in email won't open. When I click on a link, it goes to open tabs in FF, but the new link doesn't open.

    When I get a link sent in an email, the link no longer opens when I click on it. When I click on the link, Firefox and the open internet tabs appear on my screen, but the new link does not open. I must manually copy the link, then paste it in the address bar to get it to open.

    I have the same problem with FF 3.6.13, and Mac OS 10.6.5.
    Clicking links in Mail opens FF, but does not open the URL. Safari has no problems when I reset it as my default browser. The problem seems to develop over time. At first, links open fine, but then all of a sudden they won't.
    My remedy has been to reinstall FF, but I've had to do it twice in the last couple of weeks, which is getting a bit annoying.
    I have not experienced the problem on either of my two older Macs (running 10.4, and 10.5).

  • My school has a website.  The professor uploads files in Word.  When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book.  What Could be wrong?  Wrong set up?

    Hi Jo,
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
    If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
    An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.
    Regards,

    Is it possible you've viewed the shared album before it's had time to upload.

  • Why when I click on a bookmark it doesn't open a new window, it takes over a window I am working on

    Why when I click on a bookmark it doesn't open a new window, it takes over a window I am working on

    Also, if you right click, the menu will include; '''''Open New Tab''''' and
    '''''Open New Window'''''.

  • I installed 4.01 and now when I click on a link in the menus or the seach window, the whole firefox browser window jumps

    This happens when I click on most menu links. For example, if I click on Help and select "About Firefox" the entire browser window jumps. The same goes for if I click on the default search box or on the Google Toolbar search box.
    If I click on something out of Firefox, such as my desktop or an open program, it jumps when I click the Firefox tab on my task bar to return to Firefox.
    When I click a shortcut link, such as in bookmarks, it does not do it.

    For those of you who have tried to clear this problem up with virus scans, various malware scanning programs, tdss rootkiller, etc....I have another possibility. I found another thread on this very forum where someone suggested the problem was in the router...specifically, there were manually entered DNS addresses in the router setup. I logged into my router (192.168.1.1) and sure enough, there were DNS addresses loaded and it was setup to use those DNS addresses. I simply clicked on the option to pull the DNS addresses automatically from my ISP, changed the password, and the problem was gone.
    Thanks to cr85tx for the solution!!!

  • When I click on "send link" thunderbird doesn't open , the way it used to

    When I'm on line and want to send a link via email, when I click on "send Link", thunderbird doesn't pop up with the email page ready for sending. I used to be able to click on send link, type the person's email address and click send and it's done

    Make sure that you have the correct settings:

  • When I click on some links, Firefox tries to open a ton of new tabs... I have to force quit. How can I stop this?

    Sometimes when I click on a website link, Firefox goes crazy with trying to open new tabs... it keeps going until I force quit. How can I stop this?

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

  • When I right-click on a link, can I have "open in new window" first, like it used to be?

    I prefer to open in new window when I right-click on a link. In this new version of firefox, open in tab is now on top. Can I have open in new window the first of the options?

    You can rearrange the menu items with the Menu Editor extension.

  • When I click on any link in different site "example: facebook n emails etc" nothing opens in new tab its just blank page?

    when i am on anysite and they have links to different pages so when i click on link to open it just opens blank page nothing comes so recently i been copying link locations and the paste it on url and press go but i cant keep on doing it.

    Go to Tools->Options->Apps
    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
    Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
    Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
    Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
    Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
    In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
    Tools->Options->General->Download

  • When I click on a link on an email and another firefox window is open it doesn't connect to the link in a new window.

    I need to close the tab that is open before it will open a new one from the link.

  • My firefox won't create a new tab when I click on the tab. It will create a new window. It worked fine till this morning. I've rebooted several time to see if that would make a difference. It doesn't.

    I can only create tabs by clicking on a link in an email or a program or a link in the window I am viewing. It will NOT create a new tab when I click on the tab to create a new tab, nor will it create a new tab when I right click on the tab & click on create a new tab. I'm used to using tabbed browsing all the time & it's driving me nuts. HELP!
    I have not downloaded any new updates on any software or downloaded any new software in the hours before this started happening.
    Just to clarify about my original question. I meant to say that firefox will create a new window when I right click & click on create a new window but will not create a new tab when I click on create a new tab. I think what I wrote may have been somewhat confusing.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • When I click images or links that should automatically open in a new window, instead a new blank window opens.

    For some time now and after firefox has automatically been updated a few times, I click on images or links which are supposed to open in a new window automatically. A new window opens but it is blank with no toolbars, just an adress bar with nothnig in it.

    mha007, Thank you. I walked through your suggested solutions and finally disabled all add-ons and restarted them one by one. The culprit seems to be ViewSourceWith 0.8.11. Interestingly when it is enabled I had to go to TaskManager to force Firefox to quit.
    Maybe this information will help others. I don't know if the cache clearing etc helped but I would suggest that others start but Bringing up Firefox in Safe Mode (hold shift when you select the icon), disable all add-ons and then start them one by one.
    Of course if you have ViewSourceWith maybe you should just disable it first rather than go through the tedium of restarting each add-on separately. To get to the add-ons when it won't open from the toolbar type about:addons in the address area.
