I click on a link, and get a new blank page, not the info expected. I use AVG Free Edition, Windows 7 Professional. I have tried "open link in new tab" - no joy. Not all links are affected. It is not possible to say when a link is going to fail or work - it seems random.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== It just started to happen about 2 weeks ago

Same problem as page is blank unless I right click and open in another tab - has only happened over the last 2 weeks. Also if click the "show in IE" the box shows as normal in IE. Frustrating

When you have the cursor over the link, what is displayed in the Statusbar? (Bottom bar in the Firefox window.)

I get the address as it should be as in attachment when I hover over the "FLIXTER" add on the right of screen. When I click it just comes out in a new window but BLANK. Open in IE then shows me the correct view. Puzzling. I have tried disapbling ans enabling java script in my options and sometimes this works then sometimes not??

Same problem here. Brand new behavior. Using FF V3.6.8

Some links work fine but many lead to just blank pages with the "done" comment at bottom left.

However if I try to open that same link by right clicking and "open link as new tab" it works fine.

I have the same disease. Beginning to think it's a bug in FF V3.6.8
