I've had this issue for a while now but Firefox never does anything with javascript popup links. I click on them and nothing happens. Sites that have these include the My eBay page on eBay (tracking number and the "more actions" link) and the search results page on Advance Auto Parts. This all works in IE 9.

I heard that the .Net Framework Assistant can be to blame for this but I don't have this installed. I also tried FF in Safe Mode and these links still do not work.

Any other suggestions?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?

Some can block pop-up windows.

I don't have a software firewall other than windows firewall. I just use my router's firewall. I know it's not my router's firewall though because it does the same thing when I run my internet directly through my computer, bypassing my router.

Only security software I run is AVG 2011 Free Edition.

... and are you using the same security program on all 5 PC's?

... and firewalls aren't completely disabled when you disable the user interface.
