I am using Firefox 30.0, and when I go to Google Images and search, the result images do not expand, or follow the link to the page it is on. It is like the mouse click on the image is not responding at all. This does not happen anywhere else on Google searches (videos, web, shopping, etc.). I have run Firefox in safe mode with plugins disabled, given Google full rights in Java, Noscipt, Adblock, etc. I have looked through about:config for bold entries possible related to Google, or the mouse- NOTHING works. I have searched Google for similar problems, but no results. My Firefox has been installed for a couple of years, and has been upgraded frequently. I occasionally look for tweaks, and some have been applied to the about:config. But I cannot see anything that would cause this specific problem. The only way I can get to the link, and preview the larger image preview from Google Images is to middle click the mouse wheel that opens a new tab. I do not want to do a fresh install just for this one site problem. Also, note that Google Images works fine using Internet Explorer, or Yandex browsers. Problem has to be somewhere in Firefox, independent of plugins/extensions.
