Why will some email attachments not open with firefox but will with another browser

PDF attachments and some pictures won't open.

The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1. It is named Adobe Reader XI.
I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message. As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there. I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now. Problem solved.
Thanks for your help.

Weebly Editor on Netfirms will not open using Firefox but does with Explorer

I have been trying to open the Weebly Editor on Net firms using Firefox but it won't open it. Explorer opens it though. I talked to the techs at Net firms and they told me to dump my cache, make sure plugins are up to date etc. Still nothing. They say Firefox works fine on their site. When I click on edit website, it goes to the next page but just stays blank. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Why do some email attachments not appear

Email with small pdf file attached had paper clip showing there is an attachment, but there is no attachment showing in the email. If I forwad the email, ipad asks if I want to include attachment. I say include and forward it to myself. I go to exchange email on my desktop computer and the email with attachment is there. Open the same email on ipad, shows paperclip, but there is no attachment to open. This by no means happens on all email with attachments, it happens on approximately 5% of email from all different sources. Most emails with attachments, even pdf's come through fine, but a small number do not show attachment even though it is there.

No similarities at all, in fact expanding on my description above:
When I forward the email from my iPad(where i cannot see the attachment) to myself and then view it on my PC (which is running MS Office 2010), as I said I will see the attachment. I will then forward that to myself and open the email
on my iPad and there is no attachment (even though paper clip is there). Then I do the same exact thing from my PC, forward it to muself but this time I copy the same exact attachent into the forwarded email (so it has 2 attachments which are the same exact thing) and when I open that email on my iPad, I see one (1) attachment. I know this is very strange.

Some emails blank when opened in yahoo but will open from trash

Most emails open but maybe once or twice a day when I open an email it is blank. These are just emails from friends that have messages that have been typed and sent. I can delete the email and then go to trash and they will open.

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

A link with shtm# extension will not open in Firefox but will open in IE.

A job site I visit from time to time has a careers link, ''www. xxxxxxx. com/Careers/default.shtm#''. In IE, a new window opens showing the various opportunities. In Firefox, nothing seems to be happening.
''edited by a moderator to break the hyperlink which was loading a porn website''

This appears to be a duplicate of [/questions/794153].
Perhaps in your original post you may care to give the correct link for the job site, if it is something publicly available.

None of the games on Facebook will open with firefox,but will on other browser

games on facebook will not load with firefox but will with other browsers

Hi keithwill838,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Problems using Facebook in Firefox]]? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there. Please be sure to try all of the suggested steps. Each one is valuable and may be the answer to your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

I recently upgraded my Mac to OS 10.6.5. Now the links in my incoming emails will not open in Firefox, but they will in Safari. What do I do?

there is nothing more to add.... links from a wide variety of sources simply do not open up firefox and open the website like they used to. I can copy the links and paste them into firefox and they will open.

this answer does not help at all. It tells me how to change my mail client for outgoing mail. I use iCal from mac, which is the default mail program, and it works well for me. The problem is with INCOMING mail that contains clickable links that will not open the page in firefox. When I click them nothing happens. iCal and Firefox used to play together just fine; now firefox doesn't answer when I click a link sent to me and received in my iCal.
Thanks for your help.

Links from emails do not open in Firefox

Recently when I click on a link (usually from an email), it will not open in Firefox. Although I am taken to Firefox, the new link doesn't open, instead I just see the windows that were already open. This was working before. I reinstalled Firefox which seemed to fix the problem for a week or so, but now it's not working again.
I checked and Firefox is set as the default browser, and there are no security problems in the error report. I am running version 3.6.12 on a MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard

some say its to do with uninstalling chrome which i have just done.. there is no simple fix to it... well depends how computer literate you are i suppose... some suggest reinstalling chrome in order to resolve it.. i am not sure that i wouldnt make matters worse if i tried to fix it. see:

I just installed a multifunction Lexmark Pro905 printer and it will not print from Firefox, but will from Explorer????

I just installed a multifunction Lexmark Pro905 printer and it will not print articles from Firefox, but will from Explorer??? Are there settings in Firefox to solve this??

When you initiate printing with {Ctrl + P}, are you able to select that printer in the Printer - Name box?

Why don't pdf email attachments not open in pdf reader?

I have a series 1 iPad running the latest ios available for that model. I have an email with some PDF attachments that I want to open and store in PDF reader however the only options presented are to read the attachments using iBooks or Kindle. Why is this?

Thank you. I tried installing adobe reader and it worked but it made me wonder why. I have the PDF reader created by Kdan and so I went on their website and found the following.
Unfortunately Apple's device has a limitation on the app number displayed on the open-in list and we are not allowed to change its order.
We suggest you delete some of the existing apps equipped the open-in feature to get PDF Reader available on the open-in list.
When I installed adobe as suggested, that appeared in 2nd place. I de-installed convert to text and I-can-print, which I hardley ever use, and sure enough Kdan PDF reader now appears in the list.
Thanks for the lead

Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC. It is not on my PC.
Thanks for your help.

The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1. It is named Adobe Reader XI.
I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message. As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there. I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now. Problem solved.

.doc email attachments not opening since ios 8 on iPad 3rd gen

Since the ios 8 update, word .doc email attachments will not load on iPad. They download from Exchange server and when I click them, a new screen opens with just the file name (xxxx.doc), a description "Microsoft Word 97-2004 document" and the file size. Anyone else experiencing this or found a fix? Thanks

i had the same problem reading a .pdf attachment. I killed the Mail app, reopened the app and tried again and it opened the attachment. .doc attachments now open as well.

Why are my email attachments showing as being attached but the recipient does not get an attachment?

I currently use the Mail program on my MacBook Pro and am having issues with email attachments. I have read through a few forums and I seem to be doing everything correctly but I am still having problems. I have 3 different email accounts that I have set up through Mail and all 3 are having problems. The steps I take when attaching any document is to compose to a new email, click the paperclip icon or go through the File drop down menu and select Attach Files. With either option, I can see my document inside of my message but when I send the email the recipient only receives the text portion of th email, not any attachment. When I go to my Sent mailbox and find the email I sent, I can see the document within the message but there is not a paperclip icon next to the recipients name indicating that there was an attachment sent.
I have made sure that 'Always send windows-friendly attachments' is selected, and I have tried sending them with 'Always attach at end of message' selected and with it unselected but there has been no difference. I have only noticed this within the last 2 months. Anyone have any advice?

The issue with not seeing the paper clip in your Sent mailbox seems to be totally removed from anything related to recipients, and is something to perhaps yet be addresses in a future update.
To the issue with recipients, I would guess the recipient is using Outlook or Outlook Express, and the message is being sent in Rich Text (a form of HTML) and the recipient either cannot open the attachment, or they have an over zealous anti-virus filter that is removing the attachment out of fear caused by the presence of HTML.
More info about the recipient's platform, please.

Individual Emails do not open in Windows 8.1 with A Touch Screen

I cannot open individual emails in my Xfinity email account using the touch screen. Using my touch screen I am able to log in, and change the view to the full email list, but when I attempt to screen-click on any one of the listed emails they will not open. If I start to use my mouse in the same session they do open. I have this issue with two different laptops with touch screens, Windows 8.1, and Internet Explorer 11. Changing to the compatibility view in IE does nothing. I also have the same problem on both machines using Firefox (Version 26.0) as my browser; the touch screen will not open the emails, the mouse will. I am using the browsers to go to Xfinity.comcast.net to log into my account.

The one machine that I'm the most concerned about is a Dell XPS 15 9530. I have checked all the touchpad (Synaptics) settings; nothing's unusual. Comcast email is the only page I've had problems with.
