Word hyperlinks will not open in firefox

I have a word document with many hyperlinks in it that I often use. It previously worked fine with firefox, but a few days ago (around the time firefox did an update) it stopped working. Now when I click on the links nothing happens. Also tried Ctrl+click, nothing. If I want to use firefox, I have to cut and paste the link now. Switched my default browser to IE and the links work fine with IE. I'm using word 2000 on a Vista home prem OS if it makes a difference. I updated to firefox 4.0 to see if it fixed the problem (didn't) - was using previous version when it started. Thanks.

I found one solution. I was using the draw feature of Word to create little boxes around the hyper-links I created. When I removed the boxes and just left the words, the links worked fine. Firefox sees the boxes as pictures, objects, whatever but it does not recognized the links within. This would not be a great solution if you need to have the links look professional (inside objects, buttons, whatever) but if you need the site to work right now this is a work around. The typed links by themselves work fine.

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

Links in Mac Mail will not open in Firefox. This recently became an issue.

When I select a hyperlink in Mac Mail the courser changes shape but will not open in Firefox, my default browser. I have used Mail with Firefox for a couple of years & it worked fine, until now. I can change the default to Safari & it works fine with Safari.
Also periodically Firefox hangs up & I have to force close it. That started to happen only recently too.

The operating system has to have information about what the default browser is in order to open a link in a browser.

Hi,
No, no problems here with Office 2008, or 2011. Some people seem to think that 2008 had to be installed before the Lion OS was installed. I have reinstalled in on one of our machines that had issue with 2008, and I have installed after the Lion install was done. I had to install it twice as the first time didn't take.
You might try to reinstall Office 2008 - when I did it, the machine seemed to respond faster to opening Office documents, and we have had no glitches, so far, and that has been a couple of days.
I feel there are some possible issues, adn that Mickey Soft is working on it - I would expect an update from Mickey Soft, soon. It's not an Apple problem, as I see it, as over two dozen machines were updated that had Office 2008 on them, and ony one machine had issues.
Cheers,
M.

I downloaded os x mavericks and now ms word 2011 will not open.

I downloaded OS X Mavericks and now my MS Word 2011 will not open. My MS Office is not new. The only thing new is Mavericks. If someone can, please help me get Word working again. Excel and Powerpoint are working fine. My previous system was Lion, which worked wonderfully in every way. I did not need a cloud for anything. I feel as though I am now in the fog.

I was able to find some relevant postings after I asked for help and one of them said to restart my mac again. I did so and this allowed my Java to find the path it needed to complete the update required to run Word. Thankfully I do not have to remove MS Office at this time, but I appreciate the advice. If it starts giving me problems again, I will go through the steps you advised. Thanks!

Photo gallery popups will not open in firefox, but does in internet explorer

In the last few days popups within a website will not open. IE photo gallerys, logins for internet banking.
It seems to be a problem only in firefox as they will open with internet explorer

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")

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program

I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0

Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.
Thoughts?

Swf files will not open in firefox

hi,
I can not get my pages where I have swf files to open in firefox. I have several pages
with sound also and they will not open. here is the code that I am using. I have probably
8 pages of flash and the rest of the pages are javascript and html.
page10 = "<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,2,0\" width=\"578\" height=\"680\" id=\"page10\" align=\"middle\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\"   /><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"false\" /><param name=\"movie\" value=\"Issue007/Images/page10.swf\" /><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\" /><embed src=\"Issue007/Images/page10.swf\" quality=\"high\" wmode=\"transparent\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"578\" height=\"680\" name=\"page10\" align=\"middle\" allowScriptAccess=\"sameDomain\" allowFullScreen=\"false\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" /></object>";
page10Html = InsertDinamicDiv(10, "page10", "", 0, 0, 586, 680, "", "", "", "");
    page10Html.innerHTML = page10;
This is a magazine on the web and prior issues have loaded in firefox using the same code but not the pages with sound.
I hope someone can help. I have no problems in internet explorer. I am having problems with apple also. I figured if I got firefox working then apple would work. again in prior issues, we could see the pages in apple.
thanks,
Jennifer

you're missing the mozilla embedding code. use:

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.

Bookmark sidebar will not scroll and bookmarks will not open in Firefox 7 or 8

Cannot get past Firefox 6 without probelms with Bookmarks sidebar. Sidebar will not scroll and folders will not open to reveal bookmark contents.

Apple Mail links will not open in Firefox. The address bar and page are blank.

I have just upgraded Firefox to version 4.0 and when I receive an email with a link in it, the link will not work. Firefox will load but the page is blank and the web address bar will sometimes show the link and sometimes not. If I cut and paste the address from the email it will not work.

In mail.app preferences there is a setting for RSS that lets one choose which program is the default RSS reader. Whichever program is set to be the default RSS reader is used by mail.app to open any urls in mail messages.
I really like my Mac but this is the most un-userfriendly, un-"it just works" thing I've run across in the 23 years I've been using Macintosh...

Frontierville will not open in firefox 4 (on mac)

Indeed that was the problem. Nikon Transfer
Is the culprit.
Copying the files direct solved it all.
Thanks,

Have you used any sort of Nikon software with these files? I've seen some files from a D4 that would not open in Lightroom or Photoshop, and the problem was caused when they had been processed with an older version of Nikon Transfer.

All Microsoft applications(Excel, Word, Powerpoint) will not open. Message reads: "Microsoft Excel quit unexpextedly". Attempts to relaunch fail.

Microsoft applications will not open. Scree message reads: The application of Microsoft Excel(also same for powerpoint and word) quit unexpectedly. They did not quit they just don't open. Attempts to relaunch fail. This happened several times before but relaunches were successful. How do I reopen?

Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase.
