Firefox Community Forum

Did anyone ever Figure-out how to drag link from browser webpage to a Desktop shortcut? So that all you have to do, is click on the Link on the Desktop and it launches that page? It's Funny, ALL** the other browsers permit this, Except for firefox

I use Firefox on a Dell Windows 11 laptop. This morning, when I opened my Outlook email, I discovered that in-message links no longer opened in Firefox (my default browser). I've checked everything I and other people can think of on the Outlook end--I'm waiting for further suggestions there--but I'm wondering if some Firefox setting could be causing the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could start looking?

When I am on some webpages, and want to copy and paste a paragraph, of course I highlight it first -- but as of a couple of days ago, the links to pop-up boxes on the page will not highlight. If I go to the same page with Chrome, there is no problem. I can highlight links to other webpages, it is just the ones to pop-up boxes. I have checked and this problem is not machine-specific. I am on a laptop and I checked our desktop and it has the same problem. Perhaps the recent update changed something? I have attached a screenshot of a page from Ancestry.com with the problem -- on the left I have tried to highlight the whole thing, and, as you can see, the links are not highlighted, and if I copy and paste, the links do not work. Thanks for any help you can offer Jeanne

When I click on an appointment in the Square appointment calendar, a sidebar appears on the right with information about the client and the appointment. I highlight this information and copy it to a Word document which I print out and use as I interview the client. This has worked just fine for years. As of Wednesday, Sept 10, the client's phone number and email address began appearing in blue text and underlined in the sidebar, and the blue text cannot be copied. Everything else copies just fine. The problem is that the client's phone number and email address are two of the most important things I need to copy. Why are those two items suddenly in blue and not copyable? How can I change this? (I know how to copy and paste--that's not the problem.) I contacted Square support, and they said that the blue text is copyable when using the Chrome browser; I tried it, and they were right--it copied just fine. But, I don't want to use Chrome, I want to use Firefox. How can I fix this?

Upgraded to FF 142.0 and don't have the Link Preview that was described in the new release info. You can now see what’s behind a link before visiting it with Link Previews. Long press a link (or right-click and choose Preview Link). Previews can optionally include AI-generated key points, which are processed on your device to protect your privacy. Long press does nothing and right click on link doesn't have a preview option. I am using Windows 10 which is current and 64 bit. Don't really care all that much, but they said it was there for EN version and it isn't.

I can no longer alter text the URL address field! One of two things is happening: a) the URL address bar is completely obscured by a pull-down menu of suggestions; b) if there are no suggestions, a pop-up appears which simply is a copy of what is in the URL address bar, but no text editing can be achieved from this pop-up window, and this pop-up window 90% blocks the URL address bar. This behavior occurs the instant I click anywhere in the URL field. Not at all useful when I'm trying to delete metadata tagged on to the end of the URL!

When i search for something on google the videos are all redirected to Yandex

I provided a screenshot.

The links are supposed to be YouTube but instead it's Yandex

Please help me fix this if possible.

For the Life of me, I cannot Figure-out how to drag-and-drop websites from the Address bar, to the Desktop on the Computer. I tried dragging the Padlock didn't work. I tried dragging the Shield didn't work. Tried even dragging the whole URL. and even made bookmarks with the Link just to try it.

What am I missing? Wracking my brain trying to Figure-out the Conundrum

I'm trying to use a script which requires a question mark after the "dot com." I.e., if the url should be http://www.URL.com?custom_URL, it changes it to http://www.URL.com/?custom_URL. How to I keep it from changing the URL - and what is the point of jamming that slash in there in the first place?

This is my second attempt at getting an answer. Can't anyone help me with this?

I don't know, if it's an eBay's problem, or Firefox's - some, not all, items for sale, on eBay, when displaying the individual "For Sale" page with hot links, like "Add to Watchlist", "Buy it Now", etc. are not hot, and cannot be used. Sometimes, if I hit "refresh" one, or more times, those links become hot, sometimes, not. If an eBay problem, please let me know. If a browser problem, please fix the bug!

hi everyone, first of all, happy new year.

while browsing reddit, i keep seeing these strange underlined empty links on random words/names. for example this comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/moviecritic/comments/1hpse0f/comment/m4jxdwq/ shows the name of actress underlined.

i disabled all my extensions and the problem persisted. i checked using chrome and the problem didn't exist.

on inspect element i found something called faceplate-tracker though.

any clue what is this? and how to deal with it?

Sometimes when I do a google search the results come up in a foreign language! I am in the USA and speak only english. Changing my preferences doesn't always maintain the fix.

Hello, This is definitely an annoying bug because each time I right click a specific tab then "Open a new tab on the right", there's no focus on the url bar. And when I want to type something I have to bring the mouse inside the url text zone and click before typing.

It would really be a nice QoL to have.

Thank you ~
