Links in Email Mesages Don't Redirect When Clicking on Them
I get a daily email from Howtogeek.com which contains a section called "What We're Reading" which contains a list of articles from various websites and the corresponding links to these articles. I've noticed recently--within about the past month or so--I get 404.php errors whenever I click on one of these links in Firefox. When I open the emails from Howtogeek.com in Internet Explorer and click on the hyperlinks in the "What We're Reading" section, there is no problem with redirecting. How should I correct the problem(s) to get the hyperlinks to work in Firefox? Specs on the versions of Firefox and WIndows, as well as installed plugins, are listed below. Thanks for any help!

Some have noticed problems like this. Check this. On your e-mail, right click and select Copy Link. Open a new tab / window on Firefox. Paste the link to the address bar. Does it look okay? Then press enter.
If you get that error again, try this; Clear the address bar, paste the link again. Does the link start with http:// or www ? If not, add one or the other.
Thanks for the help! I tried both ideas, but neither of them resolved the problem, so I then restarted in Safe Mode and the problem disappeared, so I went through the process of disabling and re-enabling my various plugins. The problem turned out to be a toolbar I previously downloaded from my ISP.

The toolbar that was causing the problem was Windstream Residential 10.33.0.505.
