Firefox slow to open links from Thunderbird and elsewhere

With Firefox versions later than 34 (or maybe 35 - not sure) try to open a link to the page of a Thunderbird e-mail and occasionally other sources, results in Firefox 36 and 37 suspended up to one minute before opening the page and a new tab, so I'm forced to use 34 to keep functioning.

I did not include troubleshooting information that the problem is not the version of Firefox running.

Edit: I asked the question in this thread which will show some of the things that have been suggested and tried:

It's a start. Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the < shift >
(Mac options)
key and then from Firefox. Is always the problem?

In this case;

Start your computer in safe mode with network. Then launch Firefox.
Try the sites secure web. Is always the problem?

Start the computer in Mode safe;

  • Firefox does not open links from thunderbird link

    I get a message that firefox is already open but not answer, I have to close and Open firefox and it works only once. If I copy / paste link from thunderbird he opens it.

    I don't know, but it may have started when I got a update "tab mix more... I remember even having label mix more? Unless it came with firefox.

    You need to open an instance of Firefox without using the - No.-remote command line switch and don't use this switch to open additional instances of Firefox.
    Then you can open a link in an external application using this first instance of Firefox which started without - No.-remote.

  • 29.0.1 Firefox won't open links that require a new tab to be opened.

    29.0.1 Firefox won't open links that require a new tab to be opened.

    What type of links are those?

    As far as I KNOW, there is HTML code specific opening in a new tab, as it is to open a new window. Please enlighten me if this is something new to HTML5 that I haven't read.

    Now, Firefox has a preference in Options > tabs to open new windows in a new tab instead - you have this pref checked?

  • Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, unlike Internet Explorer

  • new updates of windows, firefox slow to open

    My computer installed two new windows updates... KB3021917 and KB3006137. Since then, Mozilla Firefox is slow to open. It takes at least 5 minutes. However, once the internet is in place, it works fine. It's just the process of the opening of the internet. Help, please.

    Hello

    I did some research and found out that it should be good if you ignore these two updates.

    KB3021917 - unless you are testing 10 Windows, you don't really have this update.

    KB3006137 - this update is pretty useless too, it changes the currency symbol of the Lithuania. https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/3006137?WA=wsignin1.0

    I hope this helps!

  • Cannot allow a link between Thunderbird and Dropbox

    Hello

    I installed the add-on from the dropbox files link in my Thunderbird (24.6.0) e-mail client
    When you attach a file to an e-mail (write/Attach/FolderLink), Thunderbird prompts you to connect to my dropbox account to allow the attached link.
    Pops up a window from Thunderbird, I get my credentials as I would on the dropbox web access and then... nothing happens when I hit the sign in button. No answer, no error message.

    I checked several times that the sign of dropbox in the details that I use is valid by connecting from their web portal.

    Someone has experienced a similar problem when linking dropbox and Thunderbird?

    If so, I would be grateful for help on this one.
    Thank you

    Marc

    I am running Ubuntu 14.10 Trusty Thar 64-bit

    Make sure you allow cookies to dropbox.com in Thunderbird.

  • Cannot open links in Thunderbird - could not for some time

    A few updates ago Thunderbird, I noticed that I couldn't open links contained in emails. I just put up with it hoping he would just come, but it's time I got a response. I use Firefox as my browser.

    Hi wbricki,

    You should look at this article on this specific issue and Preferences not savedarticle. It should give you all the information you need!

    If this does not work:

    1. Enter about: config in the address bar
    2. Click I'll be careful, I promise you if prompted
    3. In the filter field, type Startup
    4. Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    5. Delete the text string, and then click OK
    6. Close Firefox and reopen the window to check that it worked.

    Hope this helps!

  • Links from Google and long clicks does not work in Safari on iPad Air

    Safari does not open links in a new window.

    menu popup (long click on the link) does not work in safari

    "open in safari" option does not work in other applications (e.g., facebook)

    all these problems today.

    I look for iPad.

    I heard that problems can be due to a new version of iOS 9.3. But my camera has only iOS 9.2.1.

    What happened with safari?

    Unfortunately, it happens for some users with 9.2.1 as well. I think what we can do is to be patient, a solution will come.

  • I have 37.0.2 verssion and still can not open links from my gmail. Help, please.

    After updating Firefox to the latest version 37.0.2 I can't open all the hyperlinks my gmail or other sites. Could you help me please?

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
