Whenever I click on a link that should open in a small window, it doesn't open. Help?

For example, if I click on an icon to log-in, normally a box will pop up so I can type in my password and username, but ever since the latest upgrade, that window won't open.
I added the troubleshooter add-on and will restart my firefox, hopefully it will work.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

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.

Can someone help me understand why the search engine will not do anything when I click the search icon or press enter, and why new windows won't open when I click on a link that should open one?

When I type something in the search engine at the right hand corner of the screen it will not allow the search to take place. What I mean is I either click the icon or press enter and nothing happens. I would understand it better if it at the very least gave me a error message. I have also noticed that things like the opening of a new window via a link will not work. An example is I was just on www.walmart.com and when I clicked on an image in order to see a larger one no window opened. I also recently noticed that when I had a lot of tabs open the shortcut menus and menus in general did not load completely or really at all keeping me from saving the pages as bookmarks. I know this could be from low internet speed, a lot of tabs etc..., but I've had many more tabs open than I had then and it worked. Plus all I did was delete or close one tab and suddenly it worked. I then recovered the tab and it still worked even though I was back at the original amount of tabs. I have the latest version of firefox, not counting the beta, and I don't know of any way to solve the two main problems.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all 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")

Whenever I left-click on a link that should give me a drop-down menu within a page the menu does not appear and I get send to the top (or bottom) of the page.

I suspect I've accidentally changed some setting but I can't figure out which one. I upgraded from 3.6.8 to 5.0 but the problem persists. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Make sure you have javascript enabled in Firefox
* use '''Firefox button -> Options |Content| [] enable javascript'''
* as explained here [[Options window - Content panel]]
* see also [[JavaScript]]
If you continue to have problems please give specific examples.

Many times when I click on a link that does not use a new tab, a new page opens under my current page, instead of 'on top'. How do I get new pgs to Open On Top

No further information.

Waka, I have Kaspersky running 24/7 but Cor-el (from Superman, I think) gave me a list of software to try.
Cor-el, the middle click seemed to work on a page that went under, which I deleted and tried again with the wheel click.
Waka and Cor-el, I have been planning to reinstall my Windows 7 OS and upgrade it to Pro, from Home at the same time. Will possibly re-partition C: and -will- reformat it. Will have to re-install ALL my software plus some of my softwares' user information, which I have also backed up, along with favorites and many others.

Opera is trying to get my contact info and whenever I click on the link

Slightly off topic but very concerning. Opera is trying to get my contact info and whenever I click on the link to this thread in my email, it pops up. This is the first time this ever happened. Oh yea, I don't have Opera installed on my computer. What the.......?

take everything off line, any clone or backups incl TimeMachine and rebuild the launchd services for one thing.
for another, and whether it is or isn't malware, is to have a clean system from day #1 you can restore or use.
Or just follow the guides on how to setup and do a clean ML OS install. Download, burn to flash memory and setup ML on a drive. And put that system on a sparse disk image and put it somewhere, and so you can also use it to restore the system if ever needed.

Why am I being redirected whenever I click a search link?

Whenever I click a search link in Firefox I am redirected to some other site.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== June 29, 2010

Looks like a problem with the pref ''general.useragent.override''
See [[Finding your Firefox version]] and [[Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]]
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default
Check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.
You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: '''general.useragent'''
If any ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

Whenever I click on a link with the middle-mouse button, it opens multiple copies the link instead of only one (Version is 4.0.1). I have checked the mouse in other browsers and it doesn't behave oddly in them.

Does that happen if you {Ctrl + Click} the same hyperlinks?

The CC Cleaner Tool assumes the Akamai Download Manager is activated and it has not.

Trying to write code for clicking on the links that are in HTML table

Hi,
I have an application, where in I created a table test for one HTML table. The table test case is passed. Now I am trying to write some VBA code for clicking on the links that are in the table.
Please help me.
I was trying to write the following code:
Dim tbl As HTMLTable
' tbl = "window(index=0).Tag[TABLE](index=11)"
Dim tblrow As HTMLTableRow
For Each tblrow In tbl
tblrow.click
Next
but getting error as runtime error 424: Object required.
Is what I am doing is correct.
I also have another question regarding assigning the no of links to a integer.
Call RSWApp.WriteToLog("Number of links", objDocument.links.Length) ( i have this code from one of the forum entries).
This writes the links to the Results log. but is there a way to assign this value to an integer.
Thanks in advance.
Sailaja.

Hi,
Thanks.
Q1: I am able to copy all the links to a .csv file for databank. But not able to pass that variable through VBA code in order to click the links.
I used the following code to copy the links from the application to .csv file
Dim myFs As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim myFile As Scripting.TextStream
Set myFs = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set myFile = myFs.OpenTextFile("C:\Empirix\eTEST\DataBank\linksData.csv", ForWriting)
Q2: I was using the following code for clicking. ( This is different from above. I was trying other alternative without using databank.)
Dim myDoc As HTMLDocument
Dim myLink As HTMLAnchorElement
Set myDoc = RSWApp.om.GetTopDocument
For Each myLink In myDoc.links
If myLink.Id = "AppsNavLink" Then
myLink.click
End If
Next
The problem here is, The "clicking" is happening but not visible in the application. I have 70 links to click, after the test is passed, the cursor is pointing to the last link ( 70th link).
Please help me if I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Sailaja.

Clicking on a link that opens Internet Explorer slows all applications to near frozen. Solution?

Firefox is my default browser. Every time I click on a link that opens in Internet Explorer (I. E.) , my entire system slows to near freezing. All operations, including shut down, take forever. The only way I've found to resolve the issue has been to shut down, and reboot. I've tried to avoid clicking on I. E. links, but some websites (especially some customer service links) seem to be available only through I. E.

Hi,
Usually if such programs are hard-coded to look for and open IE, then setting Firefox as the default browser ('''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''General''') may not be effective. You can try to contact the providers and request an update to their programs/services. You can also try to deselect Internet Explorer in Windows Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (this only removes the references from the Start menu, other locations and hides the IE executable, doesn't uninstall IE).

Whenever I click on a link that should open in a small window, it doesn't open. Help?
