I cannot link from site to site - meaning, if I am on one site and click on a link to get to a story or another site - nothing happens.

I see that you have a number of addons installed.

Firstly, try running Firefox in Safe Mode to see if that resolves the issue.

Go to Start Menu->All Programs->Mozilla Firefox->Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)


If Firefox works properly in Safe Mode, it points to a problem with one of your addons or extensions.

You should then try updating your addons or extensions.

OK I tried that and it didn't work. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

The next step I would try is to uninstall Firefox and then reinstall Firefox.

Go to your Control Panel > Programs and Features.

Highlight Firefox from the list and then click Remove.

After you have uninstalled Firefox, download it again from the Mozilla web site and reinstall.

Thanks - as it turned out, I disabled my anti virus web guard and then re-enabled it and that did the trick. Go figure.
