I have Firefox 50.1.0. on Win 7 32 bit. I'm on the Walmart site. I'm attempting to click on "Add To Cart" clickable box. Nothing happens. Same result in safe mode. The link work in I.E. I've just noticed this in the last couple of days. I haven't installed any software or hardware in for quite some time.

Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem. I rolled Firefox back to the previous version and tested. Same result. I went to Amazon and did not experience this problem. It appears that perhaps there is something about Walmart.com and Firefox that don't get along at this time.
