Doesn't open website when clicking on link

When I click on a link on some websites, the link opens with no trouble. However some links don't open, just show the url. If I copy the url and paste it into a new tab, it then opens. How do I fix this? The links are from reputable sites.

Is the site a secret??? How can we help with something we cannot see? What OS? What version of Firefox? No steps to replicate. No screenshots.

The link is a little strange because it has multiple servers involved:

  • Initially, the request goes to outlook.office.com which shows a sort of placeholder page that says "Verifying link..."
  • That page has a script which sends a request to urldefense'.com with the destination URL to check
  • After the destination URL checks out, that server sends a redirect to support.mozilla.org

Where is yours pausing/failing?
