'Inspect Element' message

I periodically get a pop-up message saying 'Inspect Element' when using the track pad to click on a link. I have no clue what's causing it, but usually if I move the cursor to another area and then back to the intended link it'll allow me to click on it. When the pop-up comes up if I click on the 'Inspect Element', the lower half of my screen comes up and there's a bunch of computer lingo (coding maybe?) displayed. I'll close that little screen and try to click the originally intended target and it usually works. But what on earth is causing it to tell me to inspect the element in the first place? I've not even had the laptop for a week, so this has me baffled.
