Opeining Javascript links

abimillward · 06-25-2008, 06:31 AM

Hi,

I am having irritating issues with FireFox. What happens is whenever I click a javascript link, on any site, the link does not work. Not only that, but from that point, if I try to open a new window or tab manually, I can't. If I 'X' out of firefox, then try to open a new window, nothing happens. So basically, after clicking the JS link on a site, I have to ctrl+alt+del end process on FF to get it to work again.

Not being able to access JS links is also extremely unhelpful. All of my searching on this issue has only returned results about people having issues with JS code they are trying to write. I am finding it very hard to know what to search for here.

I have tried completely removing FireFox and reinstalling. I have tried diabling all my add ons, but to no avail.

Does nayone have any ideas?

Thanks
Abi

Have you done a full scan of your computer for spyware, viruses, adware, and other things. Because this kinda sounds like one of those problems. Start with that and see where that gets you.

Cheers!
