Also, on these same webpages referred by the Start Page search engine, while right-clicking the back button brings up a list of previous pages, the links are unresponsive except that the very first link will work. Trying the same search using Google however did not cause this problem.

Win7, Firefox 37.0.2

(My current workaround is to always open StartPage links in a new tab, but this is not optimal.)

What are you using as a start page?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
