MailTo lance pointed the browser Google, instead of Mail

When I click on a mailto link, it used to make my request to Apple Mail open, but now a browser launches and points directly to Google mail. How can I get rid of this and get back to the Mail application?

Tim Murray2 Hello,

It seems that Google webmail is used as the default email for your Mac application. No worries, you can easily get this set up in no time. Have a look on the link below to learn how.

Set the default e-mail on your Mac application and web browser

Following the steps above you will be using Mac Mail default again. Please use the Apple Support communities for help with your question.

Good day.

    Hi all

    I am designing a site in Muse CC (2014) and I have my footer on the main template located in the designated page footer area. But for some reason, the footer is anchoring or paste along the very bottom of the browser window instead of at the bottom of the box for the Web site online. Here is a link to the site:

  • Firefox keeps opening Google in each new window. Earlier, I want the pages used instead.

    Normally, I have a specific start page. From there I open 4-5 other pages in the same window. It was easy before the 25th of Firefox, as the preceding pages have been posted. With the new version, this possibility has disappeared and been replaced by a page of Google. I want to get rid of this page and get back the sooner the pages used to click on. If this is not possible, I would get a blank page.

    Hello

    I'm not aware of any changes made to the Home Page or the new tab Page in Firefox 25. Maybe it's something else caused the problem.

    The new tab Page is the page that appears when you open a new tab in Firefox. By default, it should show a number of thumbnails of Web sites you have recently visited or pinned there. More info here:

    Customize the page tab

    This feature has not changed in Firefox v25. If you see a Google search page instead of the default new tab page then something is wrong.

    You can reset the setting for the page tab by following these instructions:

    • In the URL bar, type about: config and press ENTER.
    • The subject: config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click on that I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
    • In the search box, type "browser.newtab.url".
    • Click the browser.newtab.url preference, and then click Reset. He must then change back to the default which is ' on: newtab'.
    • Click OK and close all: config tab.

    You can see that it works for a while, but ultimately the problem comes. I think it is likely that some malware is hijacking your browser and make changes to the settings. That's why the change was made in the first place without your permission.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    I also suggest you do the following:

    • a comprehensive analysis with your current antivirus software.
    • Watch your Firefox Add-ons and remove any that you install yourself - disable or remove modules
    • Look at your list of applications from Windows startup and disable anything you think might be related or suspicious look.
    • Look at your list of installed Windows applications and uninstall anything that you think might be related or suspicious look.

  • How Windows Explorer can be configured to browse the folder hierarchy instead of behaving like a browser?

    I work with files in a folder tree.  I want to browse this folder hierarchy, just as I did in the original copy of Windows Explorer in Windows XP.  I want to use the arrow keys to navigate up and down, and when I'm in a folder and click the previous button, I want it to go up one level in the folder hierarchy, just like he used to.

    Now, when I hit the 'back' button, Windows Explorer behaves as a browserand goes to the last folder that I have read.

    It's so frustrating!  She interrupts my thought process and the movement of my work.  If I wanted to use a browser, I use Internet Explorer.

    How Windows Explorer can be configured to browse the folder hierarchy instead of behaving like a browser?  Remember the "unwebified" of Windows XP Windows Explorer version?  This is what I want so I can get back to work effectively.

    Windows Explorer 7 does not have the up button like XP, however, in the address bar you can select the folder in the hierarchy (sometimes called the trail of bread crumbs) to return.

    Windows 8 added the arrow pointing upwards.

  • Everyone is having a problem with only being able to do a Google search and then nothing after that. I have to close the browser and reopen it to each search

    Since the upgrade to 12.0, I am only able to do a Google search. After the initial search, nothing happens when you try to make another. I have to close the browser and reopen it to each search. Any ideas.

    Try to start Firefox in safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, customizations, hardware acceleration, etc., temporarily for the diagnosis and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then it is probably a problem with the add-on. Restart Firefox in normal mode, and then type "subject: addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions, restart Firefox between each one, until you find the troublemaker.

    A few other basic problems you can try things is the following:
    Run all Windows updates, install all required service packs, etc.

    Updating your graphics driver (Firefox uses the graphics card for rendering and an outdated graphics card driver can cause problems. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers.

    Update all of your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.

    Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This check allows that there is no virus on your computer, causing problems. You can uninstall this program after having cleaned the infections.
