When i send email, hundreds of new tabs open up, why?

When I am browsing a craiglist add and click on an email link to reply, , it is supposed to take me to my default e-mail client and fill in the :mailto address line with the link.
However when I click on the link, Firefox 4.6 starts opening new tabs at a furious rate and keep going uncontrollably. I have to close everything down to regain control.

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], using that article, in the section "change the action for a content type" make sure that the mailto is not set to "Use Firefox"
The article also shows some other things to check.

  • With FF15 on Win7, when I click a Google Reader link (that open in a new tab when clicked, target="_blank" style), the new tab opens for a second, then closes.

    The tab will not crash if I right-click, open in new tab, or middle click. Other sites with target="_blank" seem to be ok with left click (Google+ links for example). But Google Reader links seem to be completely broken.

    Seems to be an adblock plus issue in my case. When I disable adblock it never happens. When I enable it this occurs on most links on google, twitter or reddit. Somehow seems them as pop ups I guess. Probably will have to fiddle with adblock plus.

  • Firefox 30.0 - Used to open PDF file in a new tab when clicked a link. Now new tab opens, does not show file, tab closes. How do I fix it?

  • Add-ons window does not appear when selected from Tools/Addons unless new tab opened first

    Addons window does not open when Tools/Addons selected, unless New Tab (blank) selected first. Is there a fix, or is this a bug
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == upgraded to 3.0

    This is an issue with one of your add-ons, Mr Tech Toolkit, it is a known problem but I know of no fix, though there are some workarounds.
    In the Mr Tech Toolkit options, on the "Manager Hacks > Behaviour" section, you will have "Select Window Target" set to "New Tab". A workaround is to change it to "New Window"
    Another workaround is to use a bookmark to open the add-ons manager in a tab. Create a bookmark with the following location:
    chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul

  • Even with 'Open new windows in new tab' unchecked, a new tab opens on everything I click on.

    Unchecked 'Open new windows in new tab instead' but when I click on anything, a new tab opens, filling the tab bar with too many tabs.

    Does a new window open if you hold down the Shift key and left-click?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • "New Tab" opens in stead of homepage.

    I noticed today that when I start up Firefox a new tab opens instead of my homepage, which is yahoo.com. I looked in options and my settings are still the same as before, to open www.yahoo.com. Is there a solution to correct this? It's set to open homepage, not new tab.

    Hello,
    # What is the value of the option '''browser.startup.homepage''' on '''about:config''':

  • How do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page

    how do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page
    thanks in advance

    In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
    Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

  • TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

    Restating my issue / question...
    When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
    Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
    Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
    Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
    Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses. One is personal the other is business. When I send emails from the business address, any auto-replies I get COME TO THE PERSONAL INBOX. I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

    I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses.
    One is personal the other is business.
    When I send emails from the BUSINESS address, any auto-replies/out of office notices I get come to my PERSONAL INBOX.
    I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

    Edit the SMTP server list. Add a new one for the business account. Put the correct password and information for it. Give it a description so you will know which server is which. Mke sure the correct server is highlighted in the account selected and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do that for the other account also.

    What page are you using for your new tab page? Is it completely blank or is it the page with the thumbnails, but with the thumbnails hidden (in that case, there usually is a grid-like icon on the upper right side of the page)?
    You can check the current setting here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page if it isn't what you want:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    But... extensions can override this setting. If you are getting a page other than the one you specified, that could be explanation.
    Any luck?

    Try this first - 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.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • TS3899 I can not send email from my new iphone 4s.  I keep getting message 'set password for msn' acct.

    Why can't I send email from my new 4S?  Message keeps telling me--enter password in settings..
    And where do I find my 'operating system'.  (ie 5.0.1 etc)

    I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
    Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
    Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
    Anyone???

  • How do I disable the "New Tab opened" button that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?

    Dear Helpful Open Source people.
    I would like to disable the "New Tab opened" that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?
    I usually open tabs from a search engine's results page expecting the links to be of varying quality. This means that it is efficient to open several links from that page and review and close them sequentially later. A reality of the output of search engines is that your 1st link is sedom the one you want.
    This button clutters an already small phone screen. I've hardly the space to click outside it and move on often clicking it by accident. Waiting prevents me scrolling to click the next link for 3 seconds or worse when I scroll prematurely I accidentally click it and jump to that Tab prematurely. I don't need to be told what I just did. I know... There is a perfectly functional tabs button in Firefox Android that let's me jump to my new tab in less than second with 2 presses when I wish to do so.
    I appreciate that it's "only" 3 seconds and a 1st world problem, but browsers and OS designers aspire to fast customisable function. Maybe there's a way to get rid of this button?
    The button is shown in section 3 of "Open a Link in a New Tab" in this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-tabs-firefox-android
    PS. Mozilla - great work with the Sync function keep developing!!

    For some reason, Android calls that little notification bar a "toast" so that's the new tab toast. It was added in Firefox 12.
    I can't see any preference to suppress it, so I think that would require filing a new bug (request for enhancement). If you feel strongly, I think you are the best person to file it.
