Why links will not open an e-mail if Firefox is the default browser

I still have this problem and now it's starting to affect the functionality of browsers and ease of use. When Firefox is my default browser, any link outside of Firefox (as in my e-mail address) will not be open that becomes a nuisance. I am running Windows 7, which can be the cause of the problem through a setting but I can't find the needle in a haystack, or it may occur to an update of Firefox. Firefox is my favorite and only since Netscape 1.0 browser, but if I can't solve this problem I'll have to switch to another which I really don't want to do. Help!

Tip: If you're feeling adventurous, try downloading FireFox 13.0.1 from:

FTP://FTP.osuosl.org/pub/mozilla.org/Firefox/releases/13.0.1/Win32/en-us/

This site is an official mirror of Mozilla and has the GpG signature file in the folder with the executable file.

I had to go back to 13.0.1 to get my links to open correctly.

  • Dynamic links will not open

    I used Adobe Dynamic Link in Premiere Pro in the past; both on my home computer that uses CS 5.5 and on my work computer that uses the creative cloud.

    However, just today, I tried to open dynamic link by clicking on file > Adobe Dynamic Link > import After Effects Composition.  Rather than open the dynamic links, first freezes everything simply.  An error tone plays whenever I try to click on anything whatsoever, and all the other components on my first interface are grayed.  I pressed ESC when it happened, and who seemed to come first back to normal, before I had tried to open dynamic links.  I tried to get around this obstacle by importing an After Effects project, but which causes essentially the same problem.  I have the small window that says "import...". "with the loading bar, but the bar does not load.  Pressing ESC cancels the import action and return back to normal first, before I had tried to import the composition.

    I don't know why the dynamic links will not open.  I have not received an error message, and the first collapsed in the process.  I need to know what the problem is and whether or not there is a fix.

    Yes, he does.  Thank you.

    So actually, Dynamic Link is thus broken in AE.

    I think it's time to clean your media, but also trash your preferences cache database.  Then create brand new project in each one as a test.  If all goes well, who's going to make things again.

    Question: dynamic link is broken in both versions of the Premier Pro?

  • xdg-open does not take into account the url and opens the different website when Firefox is the default browser in Ubuntu

    I am running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit with Firefox version 38 for Ubuntu
    It is complected, and I tried to explain everything clearly.

    Today, I noticed a strange behavior.
    I have several URL saved as .desktop files.

    I use webupd8.org as example.
    The code for the exec in the desktop file is:
    Code:

    Exec=xdg-open http://www.webupd8.org/
    

    Today, I noticed that if I try to go to webupd8.org, or most of the other sites, by launching the .desktop file for this site, or by typing the url
    Code:

    http://www.WebUpd8.org/

    in the dashboard Firefox opens to a completely different site. The site that opens is a site that I set up for my children's grandparents to watch videos and see photos of the children. This Web site opens each time. I'm not be directed to a site at random each time. This is the case when I try to visit the webupd8.org OR one of several websites using .desktop file or enter the url you want in the dashboard. Whenever I went to my own domain.

    It happens that I have also several sites registered in a reminder in the Firefox icon in the Launcher sidebar thing in Ubuntu.
    In the case of the beast, the exec code is slightly different and it still responds as it should. In this case, I have:
    Code:

    Exec = firefox-new-tab http://www.webupd8.org/

    Also, if I change my default in opera browser, for example as .desktop files and entering the url directly in the dashboard work as it should.

    To recap:

    When Firefox is the default browser, enter a url in the dashboard or use a to surf to a desired site .desktop file causes my be redirected to my own domain name (which is hosted remotely and not on this computer).

    If, however, I change the Exec command in the .desktop file
    Code:

    Exec=xdg-open <url>
    

    TO
    Code:

    Exec = firefox-new-tab < url >

    the .desktop file will open Firefox and go to the desired site.

    If I change the browser by default Firefox to another browser, everything works as it should and has always so far. That is, with the Opera for example, both
    Code:

    Exec=xdg-open <url>
    

    and
    Code:

    Exec = firefox-new-tab < url >

    result in the browser by opening and going on the planned site. Typed a url in the dashboard is not a problem if the default browser is not Firefox.

    Anyone seen this before? If so, how to solve it?

    Thank you very much for your answers!
    I checked the url of the home page in Firefox and it has been set at startpage.com, but then when I looked at the default programs in Ubuntu, I noticed that the default program for the web had been unintentionally configured to use a .desktop file that leads to t he admin for my Web site login page.

    I changed this back to Firefox and the problem was solved.

  • Why CS4 will not open DNG files converted from raw Olympus E - M1 files?

    For several years, I was able to use the DNG Converter to convert. My E - M1 Olympus ORF raw files and then open them for treatment in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    I have not changed preferences. I use E - M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I deleted the converter DNG several times, even reinstalled an earlier version, but nothing does not change.

    However, CS4 will open the converted DNG files from Pentax raw. PEF files of my K-5. Weird. This is the Olympus raw DNG conversions that will not open.

    I can view the DNG files converted into question in the preview of the Mac just fine, but CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

    Don't forget the compatibility of the DNG Converter is defined to provide support for your version of ACR:

  • LR CC will not open. Tried signing out and in the CC and other suggested solutions.

    I use window 8.1. Downloaded CC trial two weeks ago and installed Lr 5 and PS. I created the Lr catalog in one location other than that proposed by Lr 5 (a secondary drive). LR 5 and Ps worked well and I intend to buy the package of photography. Then I upgraded to Lr CC and uninstalled Lr 5. LR CC will not open. The test appears, I click on "Continue trial" he goes and Lr does not open. I tried disconnecting and DC many times, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Lr CC and even the CC app, still nothing. I tried to remove the. lrcat.lock file but could not find, so I deleted all the files from the catalog and all records (it was just a practice). There seems to be no way to get Lr CC to open.

  • Links will not open or read online .wmv files

    IE8 will not play video files WMV links

    With IE8, under Windows7 RC, in a Web page there is a link such as: http://.../file.wmv
    If I click on it, an error page appears immediately, saying: Internet explorer cannot display this webpage.
    A more detailed description of the error is on 'lost internet connectivity' or 'error in the link' etc...
    But if I just right click on the LINKet "save under", the wmv downloads file be saved and opens and play flawlessly in default WMP.
    The system has just WMP as a player, configured with the default settings, I rechecked.
    I have the same problem on another machine with IE8 on Vista with Divx and VLC Player (but all by default WMP) installed

    I found reports of similar problems on the internet, but really no identification of true and the solution of this problem (just the usual platoon 'use firefox!' or 'download winamp!' comments..)

  • Captivate 5 program will not open... just three buttons see the

    Hi people

    Trying to open captivate 5 all I get is the screen of welcome and as soon as I try to go any further I just get the three buttons showing (red, orange, green).  Everything is completely transparent.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lilybiri

    I finally managed to find a working solution which included go me through the following process to reset my preferences to Captivate, as there is obviously a corrupt.  I had to:

    Go to my preferences via (users/user/Library/preferences/adobe captivate 5 (whatever version) and delete this folder "Préférences".)

    When I restarted the program we discovered the folder wasn't there and recreated a new and hey presto the program started normally.  However, all my preferences were gone... included one of my installations more common and useful to be able to 'recent' because it hides, and all my other profiles have been deleted when you re-create the folder "Preferences".

    I hope this helps someone else who suffers from a similar problem.

    Kind regards

  • I don't have a navigation bar and firefox does not open in safe mode to return to the default configuration. Does not work reinstall. Any help please.

    I have no navigation bar since I closed it to have more space on the screen. It will not re - open. Firefox does not open in safe mode, but immediately opens in normal mode with the new configuration incorrect, so I can't reset to default configuration. I deleted Firefox and re-installed and it always opens with the same faulty configuration. Why doesn't Firefox give me the safe mode dialog box, why can I not re - open the navigation bar, and how I can do those two things, please? Firefox is currently unusable for me without a navigation bar with no access to the default settings in safe mode. I can't search the extensions that I use since I have no navigation bar to go to tools, modules, Extensions.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    I closed the navigation bar to make more space on the screen and I could not re - open.

  • Links will not open Web pages in Firefox (they will be in other browsers).

    I have re downloaded Firefox and reinstalled. But in vain. Won't open links in web pages. Can do in Safari. Download Chrome. But if I can't solve this problem, I'll have to give up Firefox.

    You can try Mode without failure of Firefox to see if the problem goes away? You can restart Firefox Safe mode either by:

    • By clicking on the menu button

      click Help

      and selecting restart with disabled modules, or;

    • Now the button option key when starting Firefox.

    If the problem is not present in Mode without failure of Firefox your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration.

    Let us know how you go.
