All links open into empty windows on Safari.

Hi, I've had this issue for a while and its getting really annoying. Whenever I click on any link, it does open into a new tab (I can see the URL) however when I click on the new tab it shows me a blank start page instantly. I've tried changing my system prefs but nothing helps :(
