Does anyone know why TMMB links don't work?

| 1 | Hi there.. Is anyone else having this problem: Links from the TMMB (Watchlist, items won, lost, TMMB threads) won't open directly, I have to right click the link and then 'open in new tab'. I understand the website changed its format and so I went into the new TM home page and could do everything in there to search, etc. but had to go to My Account to find the messageboard. The links highlight and a line appears under them, but nothing happens. Even to Edit I had to 'open link in new tab'! Wierd. Other website's internal links work fine.

Edge works fine, the latest update to Firefox doesn't. Hmmmmm... must be a Firefox setting targeting TradeMe, as every other site I look at has no problem. Logged out, then logged in, and was 'blocked' even for log in (needed to right click/open new tab).. Seems to be getting worse. Grrrr. Do you have any other ideas nice_lady?

| 4 | I"m using FF 89.0.2, (64bit), and it's working fine with all the links etc opening with left click. Now, I"ve literally a minute ago just updated FF to 91.0 and I now have the issue you're describing. Hmmm.... will look into it a little. Usually I'm using chrome these days. nice_lady - 2021-08-14 08:32:00 |

But is it working from anywhere direct to anywhere? I thought it was working better too.. but nope, it got even worse, and it's just on TradeMe. hazelnut2 - 2021-08-14 12:29:00 |
| 7 | eh ? I've just tried FF on Tm with the latest FF version and it's fine with left clicks now......... ah NO it WAS working - briefly but again it's playing up now and not responding to left clicks. Weird. at 12.07 it was working fine. NOW it's not. Edited by nice_lady at 12:43 pm, Sat 14 Aug nice_lady - 2021-08-14 12:41:00 |

| 9 | If you want the old layout of TradeMe you can go through Firefox. Type in the TradeMe email address, comes up in the old format then pin the address to the Firefox address bar. Then if you want to pull up TradeMe at any other time, go through Firefox by clicking on the pinned address, instead of the TradeMe app, works for me. I guess you could use this format with any browser. sapper1 - 2021-08-14 13:10:00 |

Thanks for your answer but that doesn't fix the problem... NEITHER version works properly in Firefox! hazelnut2 - 2021-08-14 13:59:00 |
| 11 | Links are all good here - am using FF 90.0.2 lyl_guy - 2021-08-14 14:02:00 |

Using FF 91.0 My links WERE good with your version. Do an update and report back please. hazelnut2 - 2021-08-14 14:40:00 |
| 13 | I just noticed with some random links would work but about 98% don't. nice_lady - 2021-08-14 14:45:00 |

Do you mean all the links only within Trademe? Or every page on every website you use? I have 64bit. hazelnut2 - 2021-08-14 15:00:00 |

| 17 | I have no trouble with other sites just left cliking on TM links. Occasionally a random one works but nearly all don't. (64bit). It's unpredictable. But mostly doesnt' work Edited by nice_lady at 3:08 pm, Sat 14 Aug nice_lady - 2021-08-14 15:07:00 |

I tried the Private browsing feature... links don't work there either. Oh well, at least TM functions properly on Edge. Can use FF for all other things. Edited by hazelnut2 at 3:20 pm, Sat 14 Aug hazelnut2 - 2021-08-14 15:18:00 |
| 19 | Oh, I think I 'get' it.... Trade me has done a huge website change... and they tested it/changed it to work on the most popular browser first: Edge and for that matter, Chrome. Firefox is down the track for the techies to tweak. Very annoying indeed for a FF user. Have had the joy of having other websites not work on FF but work perfectly once using IE. But this was so many yonks ago I just didn't click. So it could be a wee while, but I predict TM will work fine on FF in the future! Thanks for all your input.
