I can not get Firefox to open a link by clicking on it. It will open a new window and display my home page. I have to copy link location then "paste and go" to get to the new page. Sometimes I don't have the option of copy link location and cannot get to the new page. Do I have a messed up setting?

Linux Mint v. 18.3. New to Linux after dumping Windows 10 could be part of the problem. Firefox v. 60.0.2

Separate Security Issue, please update your Flash 29.0 r0 Flash Player Version: 30.0.0.113 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

It is possible. Not a Linux person so guess blind leading the blind. Preferences --> Tabs, is something ticked in that, as there should be.

Thanks. Linux has a different way of handling things... will investigate how to update flash. I appreciate you pointing me in a correct direction.
