In google searches, selecting the advertised links do not load the page I have to copy the link into the address bar to load, how can this be fixed?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
