On some websites when I hover over links, such as view now or images, i get the magnifying tool instead of the pick tool. This has only been happening for a week or so. before that time I always got the pick tool and could click on the image to go to the site.

"On some websites when I hover over links..."

I think you mean that there's a problem when your mouse hovers over a link in an email? This 'magnifying/zoom' problem has been a recurring issue in a few posts in the past week. As above, it should be resolved soon.

For the time being, right clicking on the link and selecting 'Open Link in Browser' seems to be still working.
