Do you otherwise have problems with the mouse in Firefox?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
May thanks for your reply. I have tried all of the above and still the same. When I left click an image in google nothing happens. Also the SafeSearch button and the Cog button (options) next to it also do not work.
This only happens when I use google.co.uk. If I use google.com and select an image, the window expands to review the selected image with a black background with a Visit Page and View Image button and related images are displayed.
I just can't understand why this has stopped working in google.co.uk.
Any other ideas? as this is driving me nuts.
