[LON-CAPA-users] suggestions for URLs?

I cloned a course from last spring, and my URL links are not working. I think perhaps this is related to a browser change rather than a change in lon-capa? I am also not able to right-click and open in a new window, or new tab (Firefox). That just opens another tab or window with the loncapa frame,
