How do I get Firefox 12 to open a link from Google search results?
Ever since upgrading to version 12.0, whenever I click on certain links the browser just "reloads" the same page I am on rather than loading the new page in the same tab. When this happens it's not opening the link in a new tab or window, instead just for a second the tab I am on says "connecting" and has the circular busy indicator, and then I'm right where I was before. In order actually follow a link I'm having to context click and then click Open in a new Tab.
On a lot of websites the links follow as usual and open the new page in the same tab. Others don't however, such as the search results page from google. I'm wondering if this is something to do with the new anti-duplicate tab feature, and if so, how do I disable that? I'm on OSX 10.6.8. Thanks.

I went ahead and cleared the cache and all of the cookies. At first clicking on a google search result just took me to the default Google home page, but after re-searching a few times and clicking on some other search result links it is now directing to the appropriate page after clicking a link. Totally baffling to me but many thanks for your answer!
