In the last week or so I have started to have a problem. I went to the Google map website, searched for an address and saved the short URL link. I placed the following short URL Google maps link on an Excel spreadsheet http://goo.gl/maps/WSflC . When I click on it I'm brought to a web page https://maps.google.com/maps?output=classic&dg=ntvo which has a blank page. If I instead enter the http://goo.gl/maps/WSflC into the Firefox URL field I get right to the aerial view I'm looking for. I entered the same http://goo.gl/maps/WSflC link onto a Word document and had exactly the same results. Before this started happening, clicking on the http://goo.gl/maps/WSflC link, wherever I had it, automatically brought me to the aerial map view I was looking for. What's wrong and how do I fix it??

Sorry for asking, but how is that related to Firefox support? Sounds like a problem with Excel & Word.

Those shortened links work in Firefox for you, don't they? All three links worked for me.

Try to redo the default browser setting and temporarily set another browser as the default browser.
