Outbrain links will not open with firefox on imac
About a month ago it began. Whenever I click on a outbrain link on fox news it refuses to open. It blinks momentarily but will not open. I am running Firefox version 56.0.2 on iMac.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
I notice it most when I go to Fox News and after I click on a link to open a story there are always a list of other links at the bottom of the page. These links have "by outbrain" in the upper right corner. Whenever I click on one of them the screen flashes quickly and then returns to the same page. no matter how many times I click, same results.
I started Firefox in safe mode and did not have the problem. Does this mean there is some way to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help! Barry
It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.
