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?

Hi :-)

What's the difference between Restricted Domains and Quarantined Domains?

Why are there 2 keys ( extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains and extensions.quarantinedDomains.list ), and why have they to be handled differently?

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?

Is this Microsofts way of saying "Use Edge?" Can I change settings to make it work?

When i try to drag a text/word/link to between tabs (i generally have 10 tabs open) it opens a new tab at the far right. I tried to change "browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" but it just opens the new tab next to the tab that i'm viewing. For example, when i'm at the sixth tab and i want to open a new tab (by dragging) between third and fourth tabs it opens that tab on the far right. This wasn't like that before how can i change it?

Can I please get an explanation for this

link text

When I click in the search field, outside of the text, I only want to bring the search field into focus. I don't want it to highlight anything.

When I single click on a word, I'm trying to edit, 'not 'highlight.

When I double click on a word, I'm want to highlight only that word. A triple click would highlight everything.

Is that possible?

Altering these to false does nothing: browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll , browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll

A video of what is happening . This only happens when I search something up, for example, if I search more than one thing up on Pinterest, Google and sometimes Youtube . . . I'm sure it's not related to any extensions, the only one I installed recently was Privacy Possum, but after noticing this issue I deleted it and it didn't resolve the issue.

Hello,

I have a Mac desktop running Seqouia 15.1.1, and I'm using Firefox, primarily.

Inside LinkedIn, the "see more" link is missing in people's profile sections. I can;t expand any of these sections to read them in full.

They are present in Chrome. They are present on my iPhone.

I've reset everything I can think of but nothing impacts it. Also, this is a fairly new problem. So, something updated that caused this but Idk what.

The attached images give examples.

1st image (FF): Where the "..." is, a "see more" text link should also appear. 2nd image (CH): "See more" is present.

I am looking for a solution that will allow links to open in the same tab rather than tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab. I am also having issue with sign ins opening a new blank tab and not having the ability to sign in at all. I've been using Firefox since I quit Netscape. And yes, I tried many epic fails that were disguised as solutions that don't work. I'm seriously about to give up on this browser if I can't get what I had after a SSD drive fail that forced me to reinstall from the ground up.
