I can download the newest version of Firefox. However it will not allow me to click a url and open in new tab. There is only a flash of the tab but dosen't open. The only version of Firefox that works is version is 52.9 64bit.

Have you already tried everything mentioned in your earlier threads?

Firefox does not immediately close tabs after opening, except when the link is a download. For normal web pages, the #1 suspect for closing the tab would be an overly aggressive popup blocking feature of an add-on, or a malicious add-on.
