Firefox stalls loading Google search promoted items

Using Firefox 24.0 in Windows 8 Pro 64. If I click on a promoted item (yellow background) in Google search results, both left click or rightclick/ new tab, the item deepends and does not load (blank tab and a URL related to Google). Other items in the results page load correctly. Checking with IE10, the promoted items load correctly. I have tried clearing the cache and cookies with no effect. Can anyone suggest a setting that I have incorrect? Thanks

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

FirefoxSafeMode

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode" Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Thank you.

Many thanks for the suggestion. It worked! I found that the Add-on "Updated Ad Blocker for 11+ 0.7.7" was the cause of the problem. I did not suspect it at first because all had been well for several monts since installing. Perhaps it was just that I had not tried to open a promoted item in that time
