When I click on a link in my email, or from YouTube, it won't open in Firefox. Firefox is my default browser. The link starts to load properly, then goes back and my home page loads instead. I tried closing the apps and restarting them, tried updating apps, restarting phone and still can't get the link to open properly. Anybody have a clue what's wrong? I am web app illiterate and desperately need assistance
