Greetings sallyfromalexandria,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that clicking on a link in the Facebook application redirects you to unwanted sites. You have done a great job isolating the issue by restoring your iPad and deleting and reinstalling the application. From here, I would suggest reading over the attached article to see if there are any steps you may have missed. If the issue still continues, it may be necessary to follow the last step in the article and contact the app developer.
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
Cheers,
Joe
What does your link have to do with the OP's question?

When i click a link on (facebook, google, yahoo, etc) it sends me back to my home page. It has done this at least 5 times only starting yesterday the 29th, one of numerous issues arrisen since the newest 4.0 security update.

This issues persists mainly on my two most frequently visited sites, Facebook, and deviant art. When I click any random link on any random page, the link would send me back to my home page, as if i had clicked the back button when i hadnt. I cant specify what links specifically, but it has done it twice on my facebook home page, once on a google search and several times on Deviant Art. On Deviant Art, I was several pages into the site when i clicked on a users gallery and it sent me right back to google, the back button wasnt active, but the forward button was, when i clicked the FORWARD button it went right back to my last page, just as if i has hit BACK. This problem has only been apparent for the last 2 days since the 29th, and only after i installed the last security update provided by the firefox team. seems like a bad coding error that mixes up and redirects addresses, that would be my guess.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

Why when I click on links do I get a message, "Locate Link Browser?"

For some reason, when I try to click on a link in Outlook Express, this window pops up telling me to "Locate Link Browser." From some things I've read, I think that this might have something to do with Firefox, but I'm not sure. I've had Firefox for a while and had no problems. This just started today, completely out of the blue.
One thing I'm wondering is, my task manager had been disabled and last night I downloaded a program to fix it. I don't really think it's connected, but that's the only thing I can think of that has been changed but I only noticed this new problem this afternoon.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today. I haven't made any changes

I have the same problem and I have followed the steps at [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox] to no avail. I have Windows 7 32 bit, Outlook 2003, and Firefox 3.6.6 installed. I even set IE8 to be the default browser and then opened Firefox and answered yest to make it the default browser and still get the "Locate Link Browser" dialog when clicking a link in Outlook 2003.
Any other suggestions.

I seem to have some kind of virus. When I use the internet a pop up consistently comes up when I click any link, and on Facebook I get new ads put next to people's photos.

I need to know how to remove this virus for free.

Hello.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

App Store displays "too many HTTP redirects" after I click a link of the app from a browser. Help.

when i click a link to the app on the app store the browser closes and opens up the app store. after 3-5 seconds, a message pops up saying "too many HTTP redirects"
i tried to reset all settings, still the same error
i tried changing DNS servers, still the same error
i tried changing security encryption on the wifi router, still the same error
i tried to free up available space to 3GB, still the same error
i restarted, still the same error
This error occured 2 days after i updated the device to 6.1
the app store alone works fine, but when i clicked a link of the app from a browser, the app store displays this.
I'm using iPad Mini 16GB wifi
can someone help us eliminate this annoyance (or bug, i might call it)

It may be some apps on your iphone that is causing that.
Nope. The security on iOS means that no app can interfere with the OS or any other app. An app may crash, but it cannot cause any other app to crash or misbehave, and no app can affect system functionality, like networking.
you could download a virus protecter from the app store if you can acseess the app store.
Nope. The same security in iOS means that not only are there no viruses (or malware of any other kind) for iOS, but also that anti-virus apps are not possible. They would not be able to scan anything except themselves, which would be singularly unuseful. Thus, there are not actually any true anti-virus apps in the App Store. There are a couple that can scan your e-mail for you, but that is achieved through connecting to the IMAP server where your e-mail is stored. They cannot scan the phone.

Why am I getting an "unsupported url" error when I click the link to find my apple id?

When I click the link to change my password or to find my apple id, I get a blank page with only "unsupported url error". I've tried on multiple devices and while I can log on with one apple ID, I can not get any of the links to change id or password or to find an additonal password to work. Any suggestions?

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"

I get this if using chrome or safari .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

Hello,
Have you tried [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]? This will help increase the size of web pages.
* To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
* To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
* To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
'''Using NoSquint:'''
#After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
#*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
#Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
#*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
Please let us know if this helped you!
Thank you.

I synced about 50 books to my new ipad air 2. When I click any other books, the sync starts all over again for all books (it shows 51 books syncing). If I abort the sync, all of a sudden, all books are gone from my ipad. I don't know why.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

When I click email links on firefox, it won't open my AOL email client to continue, I get "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix?

When I click email links on firefox, it opens AOL, but comes up like this.. "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix? and yeah, I know, ditch AOL and all that good stuff, but I have so many things tied into my email address that it's not in the cards atm..
Thanks!
*Chris

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

How to make firefox to open new a tab when you click a link in pdf

I have this pdf page that has a lot of links embedded opened on Firefox (24.7).
When I click the link on the pdf page, it jumps to the page on the very same tab.
Is there any way to open links on a pdf page in a new tab?
What value in about:config should I modify to make it happen??

Hi,
You can't open link in new tab by middle click on PDF page...
You must be talking about behavior on normal web page.
Thanks for your response anyways.

When i click a link inside clickbank and some other pages it opens in a window with no page link-just blank-i have set options to open in a new tab.

in some web pages this opens a new window when i click the link-the new window has no address and is blank.i have marked my uptions for a new tab to open instead of a window.

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]]
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")
