Newest version 18.0.2 - some hyperlinks on some pages cannot be opened by simple left-click

Firefox 18.0.2 - only in this newest version - in many cases (but not all) hyperlinks on pages (e.g. search results and also common links on some sites) cannot be opened by simple left-click, Firefox just do nothing at this moment, only refreshes current page.
I mean not opening in a new tab but even in the same tab - link is not opened anyway though link is correct itself, it opens if I do this by right-click or CTRL+click (open in new tab or new window) .
Strange issue which I clearly see now after last update to version 18.0.2 (on Windows XP). Everything have been okay a little ago on previous version.

Hello viewfinder
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Occasionally,  some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other  images cannot be opened with a double click.  They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard.  They also cannot be moved to collecti

    Occasionally,  some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other  images cannot be opened with a double click.  They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard.  They also cannot be moved to collections.  Anyone have a solution for this?

    When you say  "could not be opened"- what are you referring to?  A double click of the mouse should view the clicked image in Loupe view- the same as pressing [E] on the keyboard for an enlarged view. (And a second double-click will take you back to library grid view.)
    To "open" an image in the Development module requires you to select the image then press [D] or click on the [Develop] button.
    When you say "could not be ...moved" -what are you referring to?  Are you trying to move an image file from its place in a folder to another folder? Are you just wanting it in a collection? When you drag an image to a collection you are only placing a link to the image in the collection- not actually moving any file. The image will stay exactly where it is in its original folder and will remain as a thumbnail preview in the Library Grid view.
    Are you having any "mouse" problems that may be changing its actions in LR ?
    Do you see an exclamation mark on any image borders ?
    Let's keep working on this. I am curious to see you find an answer.

  • I am using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 (a speech recognition software) to navigate through Firefox, but ever since I downloaded the newest version of Firefox how can I download some older versions?

    ever since I downloaded the newest version of Firefox, my Dragon NaturallySpeaking hasn't been working very well. For example, I will say "click register" or "click contact us" to select links and buttons on websites. Before this worked fine, but now it hardly works at all, which makes me think that because I am using a Dragon NaturallySpeaking program from 2007 or 2008, that it just doesn't know how to handle a program like Mozilla Firefox six that was written after its time. Or maybe it's the operating system? I was running an older version of Mozilla on Windows XP and now I am on Microsoft's seven.
    What I want to try is to download an older version of Mozilla Firefox to see if the problems go away. I don't know if that would mean I would use Mozilla five or four, but I would like to try both. How can I do this, when I go to the website it says "you have the most updated version" and will let me access in the winter versions click post question that post question

  • Upgraded to newest version of Firefox all the links were broken, it will not open in Safe Mode or anywhere else-before I uninstall it I'd like to access save my user names and and passwords from websites- can i access them without opening the browser

    i can not launch browser toget version info or anything else, when it upgraded to newest version it stopped working-i've tried launching in Safe Mode and have tried all icons

    You can save a copy of your passwords file, but I don't think you can open it without Firefox.
    Your passwords file is in your profile folder. You might want to make a backup copy of the whole folder. Info on locating the folder: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles | How to | Firefox Help].
    You may want to try reinstalling Firefox 3.6. You can download the installer from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older

  • Why is the newest version of Firefox 75% slower to load all pages than my previous version?

    I downloaded the newest version of this browser Monday or Tuesday, and ever since it replaced my previous version of Firefox, my webpage loading has been like molasses in January, I sit and wait and wait and wait! It's infuriating, this sudden logjam of browsing is pushing me to install Windows Explorer, with all it's humongous security holes! I need to go back to my previous Firefox, but since this new version has erased that one, I don't know if I can.

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

  • Some of my firefox windows cannot be open up

    I have 4 firefox windows that i alway save each with different websites, but suddenly 1 day when i open my firefox and the 4 windows load up, 2 of them cannot be opened. i click on the firefox window tab in my taskbar menu but the window just won't open up into full screen for me to see, it just remain as a tab in the taskbar menu

    It would, perhaps, be more helpful if you explained how to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 in steps that this novice can easily follow. I have looked at the link above and found it far too confusing and no mention anywhere of this network.http.max-connections. Any chance someone could do this for me, please? At the moment I am having to use a different browser to play games on King.com is this what Mozilla want? I feel quite let down and wish I not made the upgrade from the 3 version to the 9.

  • Some more 'not writable and cannot be opened" . . . one more time . . .

    OK, I give up and need help.  I have all LR 2.6 files and folders on an EHD (F:).  I downloaded the LR 2.6 update to C: drive on my laptop (Vista) and upon the initial opening of the updated LR was able to open one of my two catalogs (.lrcats).  However, upon closing that I am no longer able to access either THAT catalog again OR  the other .lrcat because they are " not writable and cannot be opened".
    I've read a multitude of threads on this problem and either the answers don't apply or I just don't understand what I need to do in order to open the F: lrcats on the laptop C: LR.   Double clicking on the catalogs just brings up the above message. Properties indicates the catalogs are readable and have permissions . . .   (It works perfectly on LR 2.6 on C: on my win xp sp3 desktop.)
    I've tried everything I can think of (which AIN'T much - have always admitted to being computer-challenged).  Any idea what I'm missing?

    Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

  • I downloaded the newest version of itunes, and it tells me some file couldnt be located

    its telling me
    "the procedure entry point

    this has NEVER happened before when i updated, now i cant open itunes, or quicktime and ive deleted+downloaded it over and over and nothing will work

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

  • Since Thunderbird attempted to load the newest version, nothing loads. Video won't load, pages take forever. How do I fix this?

    A pop up asked if I wanted to install the latest version of Thunderbird. I clicked yes, and nothing has worked since. Videos won't load, sites take forever to load if they do at all. I clicked on Thunderbird 'about' and it showed it was attempting to load verision 12.1. My last version was 3.1. I deleted the Thunderbird application and installed a 3.1 version I had backed up. Everything is still not working right.
    How do I fix this?

    Thanks Zenos. I have an iMac OS10.6.8 When Thunderbird was installing the latest version is when this problem started. And the problem IS with my browser. I realized the problem started when I said 'yes' to installing the latest version. When I checked preferences I noticed Thunderbird was attempting to load version 12.1 It had been running for days and only 159 kbs had loaded . I didn't know how to stop it, so I just trashed the Thunderbird app, but that didn't help. I'm not very techy to say the least, but it seems like there might still be something running in the background that is slowing up everything else on my computer. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for the reply.

  • I keep getting "Reminders" that some web page cannot be opened, even when I'm not online or on the Internet, and I'd like to stop it.

    For days now, a "Reminder" box pops up on my screen every few minutes. It's followed by whatever the date is. It always says that a Web page cannot be opened and to try various things, even though I'm not online or trying to open any page. I can get rid of it by opening the task manager (control, alt, delete), but it comes back in a few minutes. I tried "System Restore" but that's not working, for an unrelated reason. I'd like to stop this annoying reminder. Thanks.

  • Some apps say "The application "    "  cannot be opened" ?????!?!?!?

    Ok, about 20% of my apps when clicked on now give this message, only since the last time I turned the phone off and then back on. What is going on? I get a blue pop up box saying this when I try to open these apps. Tried hard restart, ect nothing works!

    This happened to me after I installed the 2.1 update. The suckiest part is that you have to delete each app that does this from the phone and re-download them from the apps store. What a PITA!
