Are you blocking referers? If a site will not respond to clicks on
links, that could be the problem. If you are using RefControl, you can
make exceptions to blocking for particular sites.
I don't know what you mean: 'Link Behavior' in SM Preferences doesn't
say anything about blocking 'referrers', and as far as I know I'm not
using "RefControl" (is that an add-on/extension?).
"Link Behaviour" is basically tabs versus windows. A referrer is
information that a browser sends when following links or picking up
images to the site where the file is being requested, telling it where
the browser came from. I use RefControl to block third party referrers,
since they are normally not needed, and I do not think one website needs
to know where I came from if I came from a different host.
OK, I understand what a "referrer" is -- but, as I said, I have no idea
how/where one can 'block referrers', or what "RefControl" is: Is it an
add-on/extension? If yes, then I don't think any of the ones I have
installed do that...
Plus, as I said, clicking on the field/links worked on that page until a
week or two back, so SOMETHING must have changed since then, on my
system or on the site coding, but so far I have no idea what, or where.
The fact that this problem is not restricted to this site, but seems to
happen mostly on local sites (links/fields which formerly led to the
pages they were intended to, and now do nothing when clicked) suggests
the problem may be on my side, although a few functions on Amazon seem
to affected too.
