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?

Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store.

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

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.

Can't access embedded web server for printer

I'm trying to access my printer's embedded web server (EWS) by typing the printer's IP address into the address bar (as instructed by Dell support ). However, when I do this on desktop, Firefox treats the IP address as a search term, and takes me to search results instead of the the EWS. When I tried on Firefox for Android and Firefox Focus for Android, I did not have the same issue, but instead was taken to an all-black page (still unable to access the settings I need!). Any thoughts as to what might be going on and how to fix it?

Google Chrome treats the IP address as a search term on both desktop and mobile, so this might be a problem bigger than Firefox.

I don't know, if it's an eBay's problem, or Firefox's - some, not all, items for sale, on eBay, when displaying the individual "For Sale" page with hot links, like "Add to Watchlist", "Buy it Now", etc. are not hot, and cannot be used. Sometimes, if I hit "refresh" one, or more times, those links become hot, sometimes, not. If an eBay problem, please let me know. If a browser problem, please fix the bug!

Hello, This is definitely an annoying bug because each time I right click a specific tab then "Open a new tab on the right", there's no focus on the url bar. And when I want to type something I have to bring the mouse inside the url text zone and click before typing.

It would really be a nice QoL to have.

Thank you ~
