1411677 2015-11-23 00:09:00 The problem was a HOSTS file that I had downloaded on someone or other's advice. I removed it and everything - mouse clicks and ads - all re-appeared.


Really? Not with mine - then again only the one website so far I had that.

1411680 2015-11-26 18:24:00 I've found a few cases where I need to SHift-Click to get things to work.

I like to open links as new tabs. Some websites seem to prefer you never leave the current window, and are designed to make you click on forward/backward.

Shift-Click gets around this.

May not be your issue, but worth a try.
