Error 10673

If I click on a link in Apple Mail I get error -10673. I can right click and use the Open With to open the link.

This happens on my 2015 15" MacBook Pro. I don't have the same problem on my 2021 13" MacBook Pro.

Both are at Version 12.1

Does the problematic computer have more than one Browser installed ?


What has been set as the Default Browser ?


To verify System Preferences >> General

This is happening when Chrome is set as the default browser. Cannot open any embedded, trusted links without getting "The application can't be opened - 10673" message. I am forced to open another browser (Firefox) every time and continue through the links. I'm reading all your answers and can't follow to a solution, other than to use Safari as my default browser? WTF? Is Chrome not useable? Seems like this started happening when Google pushed out latest version of Chrome.

Hi, could you explain where you get that and what we have to do about it? Im very basic in computer knowledge and have been experiencing the same issue just after my update, I didn't change anything else. I cannot even use the zoom links. I have my default browser set to chrome, why should I change that? It was the same before and all worked well. My emails work perfectly with my iPad or phone so it is the lap top the problem. thanks

It can be as simple as having a browser other than Safari set as default.

to test this, open Safari, go to Preferences in the top left menu and set Safari as default browser.

If the link then works you can also then reset another browser as default apparently.

this happens to me on my Macbook Air when it has been turned off.

ERROR 10673: The solution is very simple but you have to repeat it every time, but it is a minor problem for me. Before you open your mailbox, just open the browser of your choice. Only after this , you open your mailbox and click any link you want without the error-pop-up. It is as i said very simple to do it. I have been doing that since February.
