When I have used Firefox to go to a website, if I click on an icon to open a new tab(link), the tab opens and immediately closes, not going to the new site.

You can considert uBlock Origin as a replacement for Adblock Plus to see if that works better.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

This solved my problem for the immediate entry onto firefox, however the next time I entered firefox, not using safe mode, the problem reappeared. Will I have to use safe mode from now on?

It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.

If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.

Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.

Replacing ad Block with uBlock Origin solved my problem. Now links within a web site open OK.
