within a website, the link(s) will not open stating 'no longer available.' If I go over to IE, the link opens. I know the link(s) exist.

I frequently go to Yachtworld.com. Within that site, there are several boats for sale with links to their brokerage. If I am in Firefox, I get the message that the link(s) are 'no longer available.' If I go over to IE, the links work. I know the links exist. It is likely a setting or something within Firefox that I need to change. Of the 10,000 boats for sale, I don't know why I can't click on a link to take me to that boat.

Thank you!

You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
