Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

I have a local file I wish to view in firefox without starting a HTTP server (it's only docs for a crate I'm building) however Firefox is unable to open the file despite the file existing and having correct permissions. The file was in a separate mount (disk) to where Ffox is installed so I copied to to /tmp/ to remove that as a variable but still no joy..

➜ ~ file /tmp/index.html /tmp/index.html: HTML document, Unicode text, UTF-8 text, with very long lines (3556) ➜ ~ ls -la /tmp/index.html -rwxr-xr-x 1 ben ben 4208 Dec 30 14:04 /tmp/index.html

Am I missing some new setting which allows local file browsing using the good old 'file:///' protocol?

Thanks, Ben

Is it possible to click individual segments of an URL in the address bar to navigate there directly (without manually selecting and deleting the tail)? It's a convenient way to reach upper layers of a website.

For example Vivaldi implements it via Ctrl+<Mouseover/click> (see attached screen capture)

Is there an option or addon to enable this? Thanks in advance

Starting for last few updates (on the last month) each time I hold my mouse click button for a few seconds on any page I am greeted with this popup: (see attached)

Main question: How do i disable this popup?

Second, what is the feature even about? why is it a feature? and what is the point of it?

Untill latest update when on a site was link, ex. http://site.site/repository/text.txt i could select the link and from context menu select "open link in new tab/window" or "save link as". Now only "copy link" action is available. Im on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Thanks for any response.

When I click a link multiple Firefox windows open all with the profile select. I close them one by one but clicking the link again opens the same five windows. Where is this behavior stored?

Recently everytime I open a page in Firefox I get the message "Open the be link?" "You'll need to choose an application. Before this I got another dialogue box asking me to open the System Handler, but I managed to get rid of that to be left with this new dialogue box. Very frustrating as it interrupts the use of Firefox. Chris
