Firefox won't open links from Mac Mail
Like everyone else Apple Mail links will not open in Firefox if it is already open. Clicking a link brings FF to the front but no page loads. Links work if FF is not open. Links work if command is pressed whilst clicking the link (opens in new tab in background).
Problem occurred after 32.0.2 update, it appeared to briefly resolve itself after 32.0.3 update, but stopped (I think) on next reboot.
Have monkeyed around for ages with different combinations of default browser and rebooting.
Will abandon FF and go back to Safari if this isn't sorted soon - shame.

I just want to link to these earlier threads so you don't get a lot of duplicate suggestions that have already been covered there:
- Firefox won't open email links after update to version 32
- No tab opens when I click on a link if any Firefox window is already open
(There might be others, but those are the ones I've seen)
Work is proceeding on Bug #1017595 – Links from external applications sometimes fail to open when Firefox is hidden but as you can tell from the title, this is focused on the problem of Firefox not coming out of hiding from the dock or coming out of hiding but not loading the page. If this also occurs when Firefox is not hidden at all, there may be a secondary issue. But hopefully solving the one will solve the other. Unfortunately, I don't know whether it will be in time for Firefox 33.
Thanks for the reply jscher2000. I've tried all the suggestions in the other threads, but no joy. Hopefully Mozilla will sort it soon.
