Suddenly today Firefox will not open links in my emails. They open in another browser I normally never use. I have used Firefox for years with no problem.

Today when I clicked on a link in two separate emails neither would open. I run W10. Until today Firefox has worked seamlessly for years. I have installed Firefox again which has not solved the problem. I opened IE and the two links opened in that browser. I would prefer not to have to change browsers but I do need to be able to open links . Has this happened to anyone else?

This is odd. My problem is with gmail (two different addresses) and Firefox. The link to reply to you did not work of course so I forwarded your reply together with one of the emails I mentioned originally to my Hotmail address (still using Firefox) and they opened! They will not open in gmail/Firefox still.

What kinda links are they?

'If you want to respond to them, please click here. ' in the email forwarding your question. To open I had to forward the email from gmail to a different email address where it worked. I only have this problem with Firefox. No problem in Safari on an iPad or on android.

also a link to preview a new Jacquie Lawson card. etc.

Until I posted I did not have any problems with identical links. Thanks for your interest.

PS when I clicked on this 'click here' link in the forewarded email it worked again but the Jacquie Lawson link did not. I have found that if I right click on these links and tell them to open in a new window they will do so. This helps and may help others for the time being but I would like to resolve the problem and go back to just touching the link.

Since the last Firefox update the links are opening again as normal. I hope Loretha's emails are sorted too(?).
