  2. Put a goodreads url into one of the Manage Authors->Author Link properties, and put a goodreads url into a comment - try to open the pages by clicking on them in Book Details - do they work?

    Yes, that works fine.

    Also paste those URL's onto your desktop - do they work from there ?
    You mean create an URL shortcut on the desktop? Yes, that also works fine.
  3. Adjust metadata download settings to be Goodreads only, now do a metadata download on a book you know is on Goodreads - does it work ?

    I don't have goodreads under metadata downloads sites - can I get it there automatically somehow or do I need to set something specific there?
    (Going to Preferences -> Metadata Downloads)


Those tests should be enable you to isolate the underlying cause of your problem - maybe you could post the results and your conclusions here.
