There's an error message that pops up whenever I try to open links leading to art or a user's sta.sh (basically an image storage cloud through them) on DeviantArt, and I haven't been able to get it to go away. It seems to only show the error message if someone sends it to me through DeviantArt, as I've been able to open links from things like discord, skype, etc just fine. I've contacted DeviantArt support regarding this issue as well, but they said they couldn't help me with the problem, and suggested I come here. I attached a screenshot of the error message, and here are a few links I know don't work, in case you need them (I sent myself links using my phone in order to get them): https://analisinowl.deviantart.com/art/Surprise-hug-726800135 https://theleatherdragoni.deviantart.com/art/Commission-KeizerHarm-685126849 sta.sh/01g55uwuv07

Some other info that might be needed: I have addons for firefox, but they're disabled for the whole of DeviantArt A link to the screenshot in case the image doesn't attach: https://gyazo.com/45b8477c4506c1f7848bcd06ceeb7616

In the picture you posted, look at the address bar. That is not a valid web address. That is why you get the error.

I checked all the links you posted and had no problem with them. Nice bunch of dragons.

In the messages, you are getting, mouse on top of the links and check them. They should all start with; http, https, or www

The odd thing is though, that the links have always looked like that and worked. It's only stopped working for the past few days
