      @sgunhouse I just clicked "amazon basics" link on the landing page. I got the error again. however, if I right click, choose "open in link new page" it goes through.
      so I am agreeding with someone here that it is a amazon issue.
      I will let it go and see what happens. thanks for all the help and isdeas, folks.

        @jimjinnj Not Amazon unless it only happens while logged in - some extension though still using "on click" script. I have no account on Amazon, if I go to the front page the links work fine. So ... no other obvious Amazon or Shopping extensions?

        @leocg A malformed link will still be malformed in a different browser, it's like clicking a link to an error message.

          TY. I think I found the issue. I disabled all my extensions. the one that seems the culprit is Auto Refresh Page.
          very useful for certain sites I want to refresh every few minutes but apparently doesn't play well with Amz.
          should I report that to anybody?

            @jimjinnj You could try to report it to the developer, though honestly why an auto-refresh extension should be tracking your Amazon clicks is suspicious.

              @jimjinnj Thank You! I was having the exact same issue, removed Auto Refresh Page extention and now all good. I'm kinda wondering what else it was doing that I didnt see?
