When using the FILE SEND LINK function, why does the system launch a new window if the email app is already open and active?

I normally have my Yahoo! and Gmail e-mail accounts open and logged into the entire time my system is on. Using your instructions, I have set theFireFox 'mailto' option to USE GMAIL.

Seems Gmail automatically logged me out. When I logged back in and tried again, it still opened a new window, but used my open account to process the e-mail.
Must it always open a new window (which then needs to be closed) in executing this function?

  • I updated Firefox and now, when I select File, Send Link, a dialog box pops up asking me to establish a new account before I can send the link via email.

    I updated Firefox and now, when I select File, Send Link, a dialog box pops up asking me to establish a new account before I can send the link via email. I use Outlook, so how do I avoid setting up some new account and yet am able to send the link via Outlook?
    I have a feeling it may have something to do with HotMail.com.

    My Error: I found out that it was Mozilla Thunderbird that was causing the problem. I uninstalled it and the problem went away.

  • When I try to send a photo, why does it go into my outbox?

    When I try to send a photo, why does it go into my outbox?

    assuming you mean send a photo by email.
    a photo can be quite large and contain a lot of data. depending on your connection it can sometimes take a while to send. As long as a red exclamation doesn't appear it will send. the outbox indicates mail going out, hence outbox.

  • Windows Mail wont bring up compose message when you click file send link in firefox

    When I click "send link" under file in Firefox 3.6 Windows Mail will not bring up "compose message" . It just opens Windows Mail without the compose message. All defaults are set and it works fine with IE. Any help would be appreciated. Running Windows 7 64

    There is usually a toolbar button in the editor 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.

  • Why does my cursor jump from photoshop window to the file window im working on

    I started experiencing this following problem when I upgraded my macbook pro to Lion OS
    When I open PhotoShop CS4, I open a new file and the window appears so I could start working,
    but then I move the cursor to the white or "gray and white checker" window and before getting to it,
    my cursor jumps or skips almost to the middle of the window. After that the tools no longer work. my brush,
    erase, bucket and all tools stay as the arrow cursor!
    I need help with this!!!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Since using FF 5, my File Send link.. has quit working

    Since using FF5, the File > Send Link... has quit working.
    Also, FF 5 takes a log time to start and a really long time to Exit.

    You are singing to the choir! I absolutely agree.
    The only thing that I can think of is the update to 10.4.11 that was made a while back. (don't have the exact date in front of me) Potentially it took this long for all of the adjustments to work there way through - but other than that, nothing has changed.
    THe LAG link comes up and appears to be "up" but no data gets passed. Both the server and the switch are reporting that the link is up.
    I am stumped.

  • Why does my clip have a higher quality in the viewer than the canvas?

    When I am editing, I have noticed that sometimes my images and clips have a drastically higher quality in the viewer than the canvas/timeline, what is causing this, and how do I edit and export my films with the highest quality possible?

    >Why does my clip have a higher quality in the viewer than the canvas?
    The answer is very simple; the Viewer shows the media at its native resolution while the Canvas shows the media at the Sequence resolution.  I'd bet that in your case, the original media is of higher resolution that the Sequence in the Timeline.

    when i turn on my macbook pro why does a bunch of things pop up

    It's the Resume feature of Lion:
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.

  • Firefox not Mac OSX Spaces friendly - There is no right click option to open a new window in the curent space.

    Other browsers (Safari and Chrome) allow you to open a new window in the current space by right clicking the dock icon and choosing 'new window'. Firefox does not have this option in the right click. You must go to the other space that already has firefox open, create a new window there, and then drag it to the desired space. Please add the ability to launch a new window in the current space from the dock icon right click menu.

    I have gone to the link that you supplied . In the task manager-- ending the entry for Firefox.exec did not resolve the problem.
    I located my profile in the start menu In the run tab And entered %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\as instructed.
    I received a cannot delete parent file is corrupted or unreadable. I then ran the Chkdsk (check disk )and tried the process again with no improvement . I have uninstalled Firefox, and redownloaded It. Still no improvement. I want my Firefox WHAAAAAAA

  • "send link" function - how do I change the email address used

    When I use the "send link" function whilst using Safari on my iPad IOS 7.1.2, it now sends it from a secondary email address I have added in Mail.
    This is not my main email address (and the one I have set as my default), which is the one it has always used until recently.
    How do I change it back to my default please?

    The email address you want to use must be on your card in Address Book. Where there are multiple addresses on your card you can change between them in an iCal alarm by clicking the arrow to the right of the current address.

  • File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

    File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

    I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
    Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
    You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
    Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
    With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

  • 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:

  • Why does File send link not work? Even right clicking on my mouse doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?

    Why can I no longer send links to websites? Clicking File>Send Link doesn't work nor does right clicking on the mouse. Both worked prior to Firefox 6. I also can't send emails to websites that don't spell out their address but instead say "to send an email click here". Everything works fine in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox.

    OK well after first reverting to an older version of firefox to get my right click menu options back I have since discovered one way that works but at a cost.
    By using the addon menu-editor it is possible to move the EMAIL LINK button from the file menu to the (Main Context Menu) ie the "right click menu" BUT you will loose the file menu button as there is no way to clone the button and only move a copy. Bunch of clowns that decided to do this I really don't know what they were thinking. Very VERY stupid move.
    Here is a link to the only option that works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    Can you fellows/chaps <!--buggers--> at least provide a clone and move option in the menu-editor?

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?
