I have used firefox for years....no problem. Suddenly when I click on a link in a website to go to another area or site...the link opens as a totally black page and at the bottom states "done". If I Right click on the link and open in IE then it will open the new link to the corresponding website....it is frustrating! Any suggestions??

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
