Did you try to middle click the link on the Google result page?

If you are left clicking then you have to check the Google Search setting via the gear icon on the results page.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
