When I want to open a link from email it used to open in new window or tab automatically, now I have to hit the redirect link. Why?

I use webmail from cox and access thru firefox. When I would click on a link, (from Geocaching.com, atlasquest etc) it would open automatically in a new window. It no longer does that. Instead I get "> You are leaving this site. Click here to view the external link. I do not want to have to click here, I want the link to open automatically. Is there a setting that I can reset.

It is possible to check the link in the Accessibility settings to make sure that it did not change to warn you on a redirect:

It is also possible that this happens to anyone that views the site. Make sure that this is not true by asking a friend to visit the same page on a different browser.
