Firefox does nothing with javascript popup links. Same thing in Safe Mode
I've had this issue for a while now but Firefox never does anything with javascript popup links. I click on them and nothing happens. Sites that have these include the My eBay page on eBay (tracking number and the "more actions" link) and the search results page on Advance Auto Parts. This all works in IE 9.
I heard that the .Net Framework Assistant can be to blame for this but I don't have this installed. I also tried FF in Safe Mode and these links still do not work.
Any other suggestions?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
Some can block pop-up windows.
I don't have a software firewall other than windows firewall. I just use my router's firewall. I know it's not my router's firewall though because it does the same thing when I run my internet directly through my computer, bypassing my router.
Only security software I run is AVG 2011 Free Edition.

I have 5 computers. It doesn't work on all 5 computers! RIDICULOUS. I wish this problem would be found and fixed.. I hate to say it, but i have to load IE to work through many websites that just down work in Firefox...
I have disabled ALL add-ons.. I've started in safe mode.. It makes no difference.. Its been like this for the firefox 4 and now firefox 5.
I have my firewalls disabled in windows. its not that. PLEASE PLEASE HELP.... It is not a fluke being there isnt one PC or LAPTOP in my house where i can use drop down menu links in Firefox!!!!
... and are you using the same security program on all 5 PC's?
... and firewalls aren't completely disabled when you disable the user interface.
