I was browsing a newsletter (http://tinyurl.com/ccez)that I receives from
http://www.military.com when I noticed your symbol for an available critical
update. I downloaded and installed v1.04 and returned to my newsletter. But now
the links in the newsletter would jump to a blank page and fail to load
anything. I closed the blank page and tried  a number of other links (ones that
I had used with v1.03 and ones not previously tried). I also tried closing the
web page and reloading it. Still, no links worked in v1.04.             

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load the newsletter

2.Try any link
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
loaded the full version of the story mentioned briefly in the newsletter.

Do you use a firewall ?
and if yes: Did you reconfigure your firewall because the Firefox.exe changed ?

Did you try to clear the disk-cache ?
Did you try to run Firefox in the Firefox safemode ?

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
