Hi. When I click on the arrow to go back to previous page, nothing happens. This occurs on any website I am connected to. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Alan

When using Firefox and clicking on a link oftentimes instead of the link opening in Firefox it opens Microsoft Edge. I have Firefox set as my default browser. Other than uninstalling Microsoft Edge is there any other solution to this problem? My OS is Windows 11 Pro.

The mailto option for AOL Mail does not produce the correct URL -- it simply opens AOL email but does not create a new mail with the subject link I wish to send like other mail programs. Can this be sent to support to correct please?

Note that I have tried to correct the URL command but have been blocked at all suggest modification points.

For some reason, I cannot access any links imbedded in my favorite browser sites. I don't have enough knowledge to put into words what I'm asking but I'd like to be able to click on a newsletter or a article on a websitye. The messages is always "cannot access this site (or link). Any suggestions?

My desktop (Windows 10) Firefox just updated to 145.0.1 and the right-click menu is defective. It has a bunch of blank lines, the only options listed are search DuckDuckGo, translate, and use AI. This ruins my browsing experience, since I can no longer open links in new tabs which is my favorite way of looking at newspaper home pages.

I'm having trouble opening urls in a private window from the command line on Windows 11.

Firefox version: 144.0.2

Starting a new private window works fine with "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window

But doing: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window "https://www.google.com"

just opens the link in the last selected window if the last window selected is non private it just opens the link there instead of a new or existing private window

I have also tried with no success: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private "https://www.google.com"

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

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!

I filled out this form completely to resolve another issue only to come to the section at the lower part of this page. "Troubleshooting Information (optional): We can't automatically get your browser's troubleshooting data, please try these manual steps. "

I clicked the link...silly me...thinking the link would open a modal or popup. it took me to another page, losing everything i typed to ask to get a problem resolved. GGGRRRRRRRR! to put it lightly.

Maybe someone can fix that? I'm likely posting this in the wrong place. But it is posted and I hope the right people see it to not let it happen again.

Oddly, the browser kept the images for the form I was working on, only the typed text was lost.

FIrefox 143 appears to prepend a google link to some links when clicked ... ...

… … and then after a delay load the page with the correct link.

This appears to be something new (or never noticed before) after my MAC OSX upgrade to 26.

Can't tell who's problem it is but it's annoying. Have to try other browsers to know if it's just firefox.

Any insights would be appreciated.
