When reading this email using Firefox, I cannot click on the READ MORE >> link However if I open the same email using the Chrome browser - I can click on the READ MORE >> link. So, there is something wrong with the Firefox browser.

Hi, please try : SAFE MODE

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
  • Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Performance > Uncheck to view)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

TEST''''is issue still there ?

I have found that the reason the links don't work is due to the AD BLOCKER PLUS program I added to FIREFOX.

When I disable ABP I can click on the links in the AOL emails from QUORA.COM

I believe ABP only affects links in AOL emails from QUORA, and nobody else.

Is this how ABP should behave? If not, how can I request it be fixed?

Hi, all adblockers will break pages in some sort of way, as to why it will not on a Email, it makes you wonder what AOL emails from QUORA are shoving at you to read the 2nd page. You should be able to white list your email pages or set them up for it. If not there is Ghostery and uBlock Origin that block better and more but things will break until you get all your most used sites adjusted by what you allow. It is usually 3rd party cookies that are blocked that will prevent video's from playing. Teach/learning process.
