Firefox does not open links in web pages.
Since upgrading to Firefox 43.0.1 clicking on links in some pages does nothing, while IE works perfectly. This is causing me a lot of hassle. Why should this happen in Firefox but not in IE and what can be done to solve it?

Does it work if you right click the links? Does it work outside of Firefox?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Hello, Fred, I said in my earlier post that there is no problem in IE. Neither of your suggested options makes any difference.
