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.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

I like to open several Firefox windows when I am browsing the internet. Since mi reinstall of windows XP with sp3 I installed Firefox 5.0.1. Now when I open multiple windows they kind of window in a window and I get this orange pull down menu. I can no longer close any one single window. I click the lower of the two top right X's to close the window and all the tabs in that window, but nothing happens. I also don't like the look and feel of the orange pull down menu
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Firefox will not perform correctly when I open new Firefox windows
The only Firefox windows that work correctly are the first window I open (which has tabs saved) and the window that opens when I go into tools> options> help, any other new Firefox window I open wont let me open a new tab or window from the page I am on (I can still open new tabs with the bookmarks or new tab button), I can't use the back page/forward page/refresh page/stop loading page buttons and the page I am on doesn't show in the address bar.
go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click Check for Updates -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
-> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select Menu Bar and Navigation ToolBar -> unselect all unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> ''Time range to clear: '''select EVERYTHING''''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> ''When Firefox starts : '''select "Show My Home Page"''''' -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> place Checkmark on "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" -> select Radio Button option2 "Always ask me where to save files"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows
2) Load images automatically
3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> ''Firefox will: '''select "Use custom settings for history"''''' -> PLACE CHECKMARKS on:
1) Remember my Browsing History
2) Remember Download History
3) Remember Search History
4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons
2) Block reported attack sites
3) Block reported web forgeries
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working. -
Dear Mozilla Firefox Support:
I was just wondering if you would know why there are so many Comodo Firewall Pro firewall (319) outbound connections showing in my Comodo Firewall Pro firewall when I open my Mozilla Firefox web browser?
Is this a concern or is this normal traffic?Bit of a old article now but this gives an idea.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Connections_established_on_startup_-_Firefox
Note that it is not a good idea to disable the blocklist as mentioned in article as then Plugins and extensions blocklisted (due to security or malicious concerns) will then be able to run and install in Firefox.
Should not be 319 connections though -
Windows automatically updated my computer a few days ago and now when I open a Firefox window my Bookmarks Toolbar does not automatically appear at the top of the window. I can get it to appear there manually but I have to do it each time I open a window. Is there a way to reset it so that my Bookmarks Toolbar appears automatically at the top of the window every time I open a new window?

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,

Hi CMorenoOT,
This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. You'll want to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information.

Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
- Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
- Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.

My notebook is set to update Firefox automatically which it did last night. Since the update, when i open the Firefox browser, it opens up several tabs after the home page. I am also unable to copy of the page, when i do try it opens up the very same page in another tab. Also i am experiencing problems with my Microsoft office programs, since the Firefox update was done. I am unable to open documents within the programs, when i do click to open a new document or try to open an old document, it automatically closes the program. My operating system is Windows 7 home Basic, 32-bit operating system.
Please help, thank you.

Email: [email protected]If you don't usually get a choice of where to save a downloaded file, you can change that using:
Edit > Preferences > General > "Always ask me where to save files"
Then you may want to go directly to the source:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
You should get the options to Save File or Cancel (not Open). Hopefully after saving you will be able to find the downloaded file in the location you specified.
One other note, before upgrading, you may want to back up your Firefox settings just in case. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. -
What is the annoying fast pop-up box that appears and then vanishes before I can read what it is that pops up every time I open a Firefox window and how do I turn it off? This only began when I upgraded to ver 16.
Since making my initial post I discovered the pop-up had to do with checking add-ons. To get rid of it I went back to an earlier version of Firefox, deleted and unchecked the box that appeared during the instal and the pop-up went away. I never saw the pop-up during the ver 16 upgrade.
I would be happy to upgrade to 16 again if I knew I would be able to avoid that function working on my system.
The only things I ever allow to update automatically are my security software such as Norton AV and WIndows Defender. Everything else is either set to Notify Only or turned off. I update manually or at least choose what updates to accept for everything else, even Windows.
What really ticks me off about the automatic stuff is every programmer seems to believe their product is the center of the cyber universe and it is essential to go out online looking for updates before one's system security software starts up.
Mozilla is no different in its belief that it knows better than we users what is important on our systems and what is not. In order to restore my preferred method for saving history I had to load an add-on to undo that function now built into Firefox. I considered the changes made to create the "smart" history function to be invasive. I feel the same way about the damn addon pop-up.
I do not save cookies, regular or otherwise, I block tracking software and I decide if so called upgrades really are and if I want to load them. I consider anything that circumvents that decision making process to be invasive.
So if somebody can tell me how not to have that add-on checker thing functioning in version 16, I will upgrade my version of Firefox. otherwise I will just ride it out using the older version
Incidentally, I am one of those folks who prefers to use multiple windows over tabs. By labeling the address bar as the Tab bar, you caused me (an many others) to resist upgrading from 3.6. Had I known what it really was, I would not have waited until your forced me to upgrade. Incidentally, I also dislike that when I click Help to get to this site that it does so in a tab not a new window the way my system normally works. My system is set to open links in a new window and it does so except for that. That is invasive as far as i am concerned. -

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs. -
When I open a new tab using CTRL-T, the address/awesome bar has the focus.
When I open a new window using CTRL-N, it does not.
Can the behaviours be made consistent via setting a configuration option or key?
Thanks in advance for any help!Hello wodow, please check it in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#firefox:linux:fx27 safe mode], do you have the same behaviour ? DO NOT reset, select "Start in Safe Mode".
thank you -
It's explained pretty well in my initial question. Not sure what else you would need in the way of details.
I will say it's been going on for a month or so, and it happens every time I start Firefox, and every time I open a new window.Thank you for taking the time to leave an answer for me, Poochie1. I really appreciate your attempt at helping me.
Unfortunately, as smart as I thought I was when I asked the question, I apparently wasn't that smart, because I didn't explain my problem so you'd know what the heck I was talking about.
I think it's because I'm probably not using the correct terminology. I'll try again.
When I open a new window, it just kind of floats on the screen. Before this new update, I could open a window and it was lined up with the start taskbar located at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes the new window will cover up the taskbar partially, and sometimes completely. I have to move it up and align it with the taskbar. Then, when I open another new window, I have to line that one up with the window underneath it.
I hope that description is better than my first one, and I hope you can make some sense out of it, Poochi (and anyone else who happens by here).
Again, thank you for your help. -
When I open a new window, the spinner does not stop, or the window open
I have a MBP 3 yrs. old, running Snow Lep. When I open a new window, the spinner in the address bar spins and window does not open unless I click on the X and stop the spinner. Some times this doesn't work either. It just hangs up trying to open the next window.
The given are very little details about your problem so please elaborate.
2. on each page load you have to verify whether the session variable. if "IsLoggedIn" exists and its value is "true" then you can show the requested page otherwise redirect to login page.
if(Session["IsLoggedIn"] == null || Session["IsLoggedIn"] != "true")
Response.Redirect("login.aspx");
Better way: use a master page. In the load_page event, check the session. Thus, you wouldn't need to write the method to check in every page, just in the master page.
Noam B.
Do not Forget to Vote as Answer/Helpful, please. It encourages us to help you...
Masterpage is a better idea.
But The login page shouldn't use MasterPage OR need to have logic to check before redirecting to login page if you are already in Login page.
Otherwise you will get into Recursive Redirection error.
hope this helps. -
since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I minimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after installed last version...Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?
