When I am in a web page and am asked to link to another URL using the standard link system, it never works. It is a black image framing choices of which browser I want to use and "Firefox" is usually highlighted. When I click on the link, nothing happens. I want to know how to make it work, because the actual URL is seldom if ever listed. I'll send an image to help (I hope).

If I click on a YouTube link in another app, say Bluesky or my RSS reader or something, and Safari is my default browser, as soon as it realizes I have a YouTube link it jumps to the YouTube app.

Firefox instead opens the YouTube link in a Firefox tab, and has an “Open in App?” banner along the top.

How can I skip that middle step? This is pretty annoying.

Mac Mini Pro M4, MacOs 26.6.1, Firefox 153.0.4 When I click on a "mailto" link I get a pop up that says select an app for mailto. In this popup, Firefox shows as the suggested app. I click on it and I get a message that says This Can Be Changed in Firefox Settings. When i select Firefox in this popup nothing happens. When I look at the mailto setting in Firefox it clearly says Firefox. Help. Thanks, Pete D.

If I tap on a YouTube link in an app like my RSS reader or Bsky, and Safari is my default browser, it launches the YouTube app correctly.

Firefox instead opens the link in a Firefox window with a banner asking if I want to open the YouTube app.

Why can’t I skip the middleman? The only setting I can find is “Block links opening in external apps” which is disabled.

Windows 10, Firefox 131, Thunderbird 91.13 I set Firefox as default browser - I can't open links from Thunderbird in Firefox. I set Chrome as default browser - I can open links from Thundebird in Chrome. How can I fix or debug this?

This latest update to 153.0.4, which I did a few days after being notified, it messed up firefox. Finally rebooted, got it up again and now if I right click, I do not get the " open in new tab" option, eg, on youtube videos.

MacOS: If not already running, Firefox does not load requested URL on launch MacOS 26.5.2, Firefox 152.0.4

How to reproduce: 1) Set Firefox as the default browser 2) Completely quit Firefox 3) Open a URL (e.g. open Spotlight, type a query, select "Search the web", or any of the many other ways) 4) Observe Firefox opens but does not open a tab with the externally requested URL

This used to work fine. It still works on Windows. Reproduced on two different Macs. If Firefox is already running, it works as expected.

I was trying to install a minecraft modpack about 2 days ago using curseforge, but now randomly when my browser is open this pop-up will appear even though i havent visited curseforge since then

Firefox using the changeable drop-down menu of search providers, hides page URLs. I use them all the time to link out to others, etc. Can this behavior be toggled on/off?

I am using Firefox Developer Edition version 154.0b5 (latest according to settings) and when I try double clicking or use ctrl + A, the url won't be selected (or parts of it if I try something selecting something specific). Double clicking doesn't work at all.

Is this a bug?

Since the latest beta update, Beta, v. 154.0b5 (64-bit) I cannot select or highlight text in either the address or search bars. Is this a known problem? (See red arrows in screenshot)

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

On every browser I've ever used for all of my internet using life, including THIS browser, when you hover your cursor over a link, a cartoony hand appears and the link URL appears at the bottom. Very recently, I write on 7/27/26, this no longer works on Firefox. WTF?
