Button does not open a new page in FF8
When I go to a university website to search for jobs I will click on a University --> View a job --> Apply for the job.
I can click on the university fine and view the job fine, but applying for said position does not work. Before I updated, clicking apply would take me to the university's home page for that particular position. I'm not sure if there is something wrong on my end or not. The only thing I see different is Java Console is disabled.
Here is the actual code for the button
<button class="buttonClass" value="Apply Now" "window.open('https://jobsearch.uncg.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=53285&jtsrc=uncjobs.northcarolina.edu&jtrfr=www.peopleadmin.com&adorig=PA')">
If you need more info please let me know. Thanks.

No, I didn't try that button.
I checked it now and it looks like a problem with the code in that button.
Doesn't work in Google Chrome either.
I see a window.open command, but it isn't preceded by an onclick attribute name.

Do you see a pop-up icon at the right end of the location bar?
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thanks Cor-el. Did you try to visit the page I linked to and see if it worked for you?
I also posted what steps I had taken to troubleshoot and it's located the the "More system details" to the right of my original post. Which included disabling Ad-Block and when that didn't work using safe mode.
I do see a pop-up warning when I visit pages with pop-up ads. But just in case I did uncheck the box and try the button again and it still didn't open up a new page.
I'm also using the default theme. In fact I think I've always used the default theme.
Hope that extra info helps and I am curious if others have tried to pick a random university and position and what happened when they clicked Apply.

Thanks Cor-el. I notified the owners of the site and hopefully they will get it taken care of. I'm not big into code so I'm lost when it comes tot hat sort of thing. I just did want I knew to, safe mode and other little things. I am glad it's not FF and me doing something dumb again..lol
Thank you!
