Can't click links, constantly freezes
I can usually click text-links, but button links are unclickable since the last update. For instance, buttons like the one that says "Post Question" will not work on firefox. I had to switch over to Opera just to be able to click links. What has also been happening more often since the update is firefox is constantly freezing, turning white and saying "Not responding".
Chosen solution
It turns out resetting firefox fixed the issue. I don't think it was the add ons nor plug ins because even in safe mode I had the problem. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, still didn't work. I did that just before your response Fred, so I don't know if that's a working solution. Guess if anyone else has that problem they could try that too.

Hello Nymy, any luck in Firefox Safe Mode ? Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
Restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
Thank you
