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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. Idid set the mail to option to Gmail.

    Even though I set Gmail as the mail to setting on the Options tab, firefox does not send links. This started when I updated to the new version of Firefox.

  • Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. I have set Gmail as the mailto option, but did not help

    Firefox does not activate Gmail when I click send link in the menu under File or by right click menu on a webpage. I have set Gmail as the Mail to under options, but this did not help.

    I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

  • 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?

  • When I click a mailto link in Firefox, it no longer opens a window for me to write and send the email in Thunderbird (which is my default email app and is open all the time).

    Not sure. Possibly since I got a new laptop with Win 7 or maybe since my last Firefox update. I usually have a very current version of Firefox and Thunderbird. My laptop is 64 bit.

    Check the value under Tools -> Options -> Applications, filtering for '''mailto''', and make sure it is set to Thunderbird.

  • Firefox display odd characters when I click an mp4 link

    Up until about a month ago, I could click a link to an mp4 file and it would stream in my browser perfectly - now, I get square characters and question marks - just a bunch of giberish. These videos play perfectly in Safari, Chrome and IE.
    I'm on FF 31.0 and the browser reports that Firefox is up to date. What changed with the recent updates?

    This happens if the server sends the file as text/html or as text/plain.
    In such a case Firefox will try to render the page instead of opening it in a media player.
    This can also happen if you ever got the "Open with" dialog when you clicked such a link and have chosen to open file in Firefox.
    You should never do this to avoid such an issue and you will have to remove this action in Firefox > Preferences > Applications

  • In Safari, composing an E-mail message, when I click on "I" for italics, then unclick "I" to return to the regular type face, it reverts to italic mode when I hit the "return" key.

    In Safari, composing an E-mail message, when I click on "I" for italics, use italics for a word, then unclick "I" to return to the regular type face, it reverts to italics after I hit the "return" key to begin a new paragraph.  How can I avoid that unwanted reverting to italics?

  • How can I stop iOS from opening a recently received message when I click on the messages app to compose an unrelated message to a different contact? I want to read it later, when I have time to reply, and I don't want to forget to go back to it.

    iPhone messages automatically open when I don't want them to
    One of my first ever flip phones had a wonderful function where you could choose a checkbox next to received messages to make them appear read or unread. This was very convenient for messages which you read, but don't have time to reply to immediately, and want to remember to come back to later.
    In contrast, the latest, greatest iPhone not only does not have this rudimentary message management function, but it goes one step further in the wrong direction. If there is just one received, unread message, and you click on the messages icon, the new message will automatically be opened. It is opened irrespective of whether you have time to read it right away, irrespective of if you simply wanted to compose a new message or go back to another already read message. It just opens the new one, and then you are in a position where you have to read it and respond to it right there, or risk forgetting about it and failing to reply to it altogether. I sometimes receive a lot of messages over a period of a few hours, so it is very easy to lose track of these half-read messages in the mayhem. I have missed countless messages because of this problem. Incidentally, if there is more than one received message, then the application doesn't automatically open any of them, which is much better, because you can at least choose when you want to open one of the unread messages. But ideally, you should be able to go through your list of received messages and check or uncheck them as read or unread at any time, so that you can easily find messages that still need to be replied to, or reconsidered.
    Does anybody have a solution to this problem? It strikes me as a simple data management solution that should be, but is not an option in the basic functionality of the app. Frustrating!

    Is this an IMAP account?
    If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
    Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
    Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

  • Mail opens two Safari windows when I click on a link in email

    When I click on a link in Mail, it opens in Safari -- that's the way I have it setup. Yet, the problem is that it opens two windows in Safari, one empty and one with the content of the link.
    This is the second problem I have with Mail. The second one was posted to this discussion but it was not resolved. I repeat here the text of the problem:
    I've been having a problem with mail for a while, when sending attached JPEGs from my Mac using Mail or Entourage. The photos are split -- say a 140 kb file will show up in my two other computers (both Windows PCs) as two files, one 65 kb and the other 75 kb, for example.
    Yet, when I click on Mail's (in my Mac) sent folder and click on the particular sent email, it shows a full blown 140 kb attachment, not split.
    Several weeks ago, my Mac Address book got cranky and for some reason it would repeat the name of an addressee. I finally deleted the name of that addressee and created a new entry and it seemed to work, so it did not split JPEGs -- or at least I thought that was the case.
    Now it is back splitting the JPEGs but this time, the addressee's name is well formatted -- no repeats within the entries in the card in Address Book.
    When I mail something from my Windows PCs and open it in my Mac, the file is complete.
    What could be causing this split?

    Hello to everyone out there: o)
    I have itunes 11 .. installed 1 day before, now my playlists do not agree in the presentation!
    itues keeps crashing! "Solution is sought.
    Receive message when you found solution. Itunes connect"??
    There do not appear in itunes all devices
    Windows 7
    sorry for my english!

    Hey, I have had my intunes soley shut down my computer numerous times, for the past month or so. I realize now it is only within my itunes, but it may not only be itunes. My desktop and a lot of cashed info have been cleared now, as a result of a ton of restarts by completely shutting the power most likely.
    I have been too lazy to back up my music because it messes stuff up, and goes so slow it crashes. it will probably work better if I dont even touch itunes and just transfer small parts of my library at a time, not all 120+ gb!
    I think a my computer is
               a fried
               b my files are terribly corrupted
               c or my itunes is compromised
    either way, i will back up my music, but what do you think the chances are my music is the culprate, and by backing it up I will have the same problem in the future?
    i've been thinking re-installing itunes would be best
    let me know....thanks
