Javascript links hosed since upgrading to Quantum?
Ever since the browser upgraded to Quantum yesterday, any javascript link on any page has been rendered useless, leaving some websites completely unusable without basic functionality. I've also tried running Firefox in safe mode and I have the same problem, so I can confirm it isn't any of the add-ons causing this behavior. It's also probably not just links. Looks like js in general is broken for me, including user scripts.
Looking around, I don't really see anyone with this problem, so I'm not seeing any solutions. Any ideas?
Running Win10, FF 57.0.
EDIT: Something was wrong with the profile. Couldn't figure out what, though, so I just refreshed it and tanked all my settings. Oh well. Reinstalled all add-ons and user scripts and everything is working again.

Another user with similar problem had a malware. Scan your system.
I scanned it yesterday (after "upgrade") with two different tools. Nothing came up.
You don't happen to have the link to their problem anyway, do you? I'd like to read up on it.

You can try testing a new profile, btw.
Thanks.
Tried a test profile, seems to be something wrong with mine. Not sure what yet, though. Something was goofed during the upgrade, I guess.
Do things work better after a Firefox Refresh? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings Click the blue button "Refresh Firefox" on that page.
