• Adblock Plus is originally an extra window open when I click on a link from Apple Mail.

  When I click on a link from Apple Mail, an (empty) additional window opens. The problem seems to be related with Adblock Plus, because it happens when Adblock Plus is removed. Problem, all started yesterday (7/29).

  This only happens with AdBlock? Very strange. AdBlock to block pop-ups.
  Is there anything in the address of this window box?

• Change the e-mail program that opens when I click on a link in a document

  Clicking on an email address in a pdf document in Acrobat Reader, Mac Mail will open instead of the e-mail program I use, Outlook for Mac 2011.  How can I change the default program that opens when you click on a link?

  Hi Meenakshi,

  I assume you mean Adobe Reader > Preferences > e-mail accounts.  I did already but get an error message: "Error communicating with the server" when I try to send a PDF by e-mail (file > Send file > Attach to Email), even if the parameters are exactly the same as in Outlook.  Don't know how to solve this problem, although simple workaround is just to save the file locally and then send it as an attachment from Outlook itself.

  But with regard to the specific question that I asked originally, I don't try to send a document as an attachment; I am trying to send an e-mail to a hyperlink address embedded in a pdf document open. It seems the setting that you referenced only affects how documents are sent as an attachment, not what client opens when you click on a link embedded in a pdf document e-mail.

  Anyway, I solved the problem of the latter: in OSX, please make sure that in the native Mail application that the default mail reader is the application that you want to use ALL the programs/applications (Mail > preferences > General > default email reader), including Adobe Reader.  Once I put this in Outlook, click an address for e-mail embedded in a document pdf opens Outlook with the address already in the field "to".

• Why a tab and a new window opens when you click a link

  When you click on a link in a new window AND new tab open. They stack above the other on the desktop slow down the computer. We run OS X EL CAPITAN.

  With the recent "update" I'm having this problem too. Navigation became a royal PITA. 27 windows open at the same time? It looks like nobody tested before FORCING the update that does not need to be updated.

• I do not want Firefox to my main browser or automatically open when I click on a link of my emails, how do I disable this?

  When I click on a link of my emails, that it opens automatically by firefox. I want to disable this feature because I would go back to Chrome. I don't want to uninstall Firefox all together, but I don't want it to be my main browser not more.
  Thank you

  The only way to have such links open is not Firefox is to define a different browser, the default browser.

  This MozillaZine Knowledge Base article shows how to set a different browser like IE as default browser.

  See the definition of default browser manually:

• Firefox on Windows. When I click on a link, Firefox hangs up with a rotating cursor. Problem goes away by moving the mouse. This does not happen with IE.

  Using Firefox 27.0, when I click on a link, a rotating cursor appears and continues to run. Move the cursor will solve the problem. I had this problem for several versions of Firefox, and I use automatic updates.

  Please update Firefox, troubleshoot Add - ons and if this does not help, then do a clean reinstall.

  Thank you!

• New tab opens when I click on email link, this does not happen with IE or Chrome

  I use a specific website for the work. When I click on a hyperlink on the website that is supposed to generate an e-mail, it also generates a new tab for no reason. It is a waste of time. Happening on the same site in IE or Chrome.

  Those are extensions for Firefox. You can access the Firefox Add-ons page using one of the following methods:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. On the right, enabled extensions are listed alphabetically, with the extensions disabled at the bottom.

  As a general criterion for the problems caused by any extension, the user may try the same pages/functions Mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  (Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works)

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  If the problem disappears, usually that points to an extension as the culprit.

  Keep in mind that other aspects of Safe Mode may be more relevant to display glitches (hardware acceleration) or outages as extensions, but in this case, I would look at the extensions.

• Firefox 11.0 stopped download PDF files automatically when I click on a link. The download folder is always selected in the preferences.

  When I click on a PDF file that would normally cause the download folder to open it, I am rather taken to a blank white page and nothing happens.

  I use a Mac OS X 10.6.8.

  I recently installed Flash Player to preview an FLV file that I put on my site. I don't remember if the problem started after the installation.

  This thread has a workaround solution, which is to "disable the Adobe Acrobat plug-in, NPAPI Version 10.1.3" under Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins

• New tabs for Firefox will not open unless by clicking on a link while browsing.

  To expand on what the issue is, whenever I try to open a new tab, it does everything simply. Only new tabs open when I click on a link that also opens the page in this link in a new tab. Even when I try to do the same thing in the file menu and Ctrl + t. otherwise, Firefox works normally. Yesterday, I downloaded a program called 'FLV player' I knew came with a bar ask.com toolbar, but for some reason, from ask.com to the home page for Firefox. After that, I changed the homepage to Firefox, return to the default page.

  Ask Toolbar can cause this problem. Uninstall it.

  How to stop a program to open when I start my computer?

  I would check the following:

  1. The program has an option to stop from?
  2. Otherwise use Windows Defender to disable: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Stop-a-program-from-running-automatically-when-Windows-starts . If you cannot use Windows Defender because your antivirus turns off, you have to use the Configuration utility system; See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Start-System-Configuration and http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-System-Configuration
  3. Some products start themselves in other ways. Http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902 Autoruns lists most of these places. This tool is designed for advanced users. Incorrect use can result in an unusable system. See: http://forum.sysinternals.com/what-to-uncheck-and-what-not_topic5226.html

• Yosemite MAC, when I open Firefox I get two windows, when I click on a link in mail, it opens a window not a tab.

  I place the FireFox icon in the dock. When I click to open FireFox it opens two windows both to the homepage. When you click on a link in the email, it will open a window behind the first window rather that open in a tab. There used to be a preference re: opening links, but given that it was useful, it seems that Apple has removed this option unless it's hidden somewhere I can't find.

  What you have is, in my view, two problems.

  • Homepage

  Type of topic: preferences #general< enter > in the address bar.

  There are two settings;

  • At the start of Firefox

  When the browser is started, what you want
  view. Many of us choose view my homepage.

  • Homepage

  When a new page opens up, what do you want displayed.

  1. Use current Page. Use the pages that are never open at this time.
  2. Use the bookmark
  3. Restore by default. topic: Home shows a home page of Mozilla with tools.

  You can use one of these as you want;

  topic: Home (Default Firefox homepage),
  on: newtab (displays the more visited sites),
  Subject: vacuum (a blank page),

  or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.

• Pop-up window opens when firefox is open. Cannot close to use the browser. How can I get rid of this?

  There is no text in the pop-up window, and when I click outside the window, there is a tone 'error' that plays. The only way I can close Firefox is to open the Task Manager and end task. I deleted Firefox on my computer and reinstalled, and it has not solved the problem. Included is a screenshot of what it looks like.

  This can result from the AOL toolbar.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
