Win10x64, Latest Firefox (same problem on last few versions). If Firefox has 1 or more open websites clicking on another link (of any kind) Firefox often will NOT open the website (nothing happens). If I then close ALL open Firefox windows and click the exact same link it opens correctly. This happens sometimes with shortcuts in window explorer, outlook email links, etc. It happens so often I wrote a program to close all Firefox windows, the problem is I have to close ALL Firefox windows even those I am still using to open a new link.

That is not how a browser works. Open or not, the browser should open a new window/tab to any new link.

Does this happen with just one link or any link?

Is this about opening a link in an external application in the default browser?

Make sure that you do not use the -no-remote command line switch to start Firefox.
