When I click a link it just doesn't open. In a new tab or window the same link connects instantly.
On occasion when I click links in Firefox nothing happens. The connection doesn't seem to be made, I can click repeatedly, and still it doesn't follow the link. Then when I open a new tab, or window, and paste the same link, it goes instantly. Someone mentioned that this may be a Firefox addon problem. Is there any solution to this non-connecting problem I seem to be having?
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

Looking at your installed extensions, I would be guessing either the Free Download Manager plugin or Skype extension (last is unlikely as it's deactivated, but you never know..).
You can test if it's an add-on problem by starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode - if there is no longer an issue in Firefox Safe Mode, it is almost certain that one of the add-ons are at fault.
Unfortunately this problem has been occurring since way before I installed either of those apps :(
Update Firefox to latest version from www.getfirefox.com and test if the Safe Mode makes a difference - this way we'll know if the problem is within or outside Firefox itself.
