Clicking on links in websites doesn't always work
Since the last update on some sites clicking on links does not work. If I then load the same site in Opera the links work ok. I'm baffled its really irritating. Is there a solution?

So turning off Enhanced Tracker Protection at the shield on left works. But why is this only a problem on certain sites, if the answer is too complicated don't worry. Thanks for the solution

Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?
Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Its a few eg GiffGaff won't acknowledge any clicks including "LogOut" I tried in troubleshooter and its the same. tried again in Opera and works fine.
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for related messages about blocked content.

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected to check whats gets selected if you click a not working link.
