    I'm having to use IE Tab probably more than 50% of the time to open embedded links. It's getting to the point where I'm considering using IE. I can't believe I just stated that!
    In the link I provide, opens but the scrolling mechanism doesn't. This is the type of issue I am dealing with. It's not Adblock Plus as I've disabled it and it isn't a conflict with Sandboxie either. Although I haven't tried disabling Blur.
    I'm hoping it is some Firefox setting that can be changed in Options or about:config and I thank you!

    I can't duplicate. Have you considered uninstalling and reinstalling, and possibly recreating your profile if that does not work? You would have to reinstall all of your extensions and reapply any changes you have made to your config, but it sounds like something is corrupt.

    I'm using uBlock original and the site shows 48 domains trying to connect. Scrolling through the 11 views did not work for me either. I temporarily allowed everything to connect and scrolling was not a problem. You probably have Noscript or some other addon that is blocking the required connection to allow the scrolling to work.

    To fix the pcworld link for ublock try adding the following to your filters:
    Code:
    @@.lazyload-ad.$script,domain=www.pcworld.com
