when i left click, the reload button next to the home button temporarily flashes an x and then goes back to the reload button. clicking on any search link does that same but in the end i just stay on the google search results page.

i can open the links with my middle mouse button into a new tab and i can also right click and open in tab as well.

any reason why my left button can't open google search links? my left button otherwise works fine. i have adblock and noscripts running. i have tried disabling adblock and enabled google in noscripts but that still does not solve the problem. a computer restart also did nothing.

google works completely fine in chrome. it also worked fine pre-quantum...

thank you.
