The <a href=http://docs.sympy.org/latest/index.html>Sympy documentation</a> page redirects to www.duolingo.com when I right or left click anywhere on the page (literally anywhere, blank space included). I can only reproduce this on my computer and only with the firefox browser. I just started using duolingo, so I assume that there is something happening with files or settings saved by firefox. I'm assuming that I can solve the problem by deleting history data, but this behavior is so bizarre that I'd like to figure out what the cause is. I did delete my cookies right before discovering it, so I'm pretty sure it's not a cookie.

I have no idea where to start looking to find out what the problem is, so if anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.

You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). You can check what element gets selected and if there is possibly an event attached to it in case a grayish 'ev' button is displayed after the link.
