I just switched to Firefox from Brave. My problem is that links within a news site that I visit several times daily, no longer work. I click on a title within the main page, and get taken to a blank page. The usual URL link shows up top, but the page is blank. I have tried turning off pop-up blocker but that does not help. I really want to stick with this browser but this is too frustrating.

FF sometimes doesn't open links from email, and sometimes other links in a site. Frustrating when I need that download but can't get it. I disabled all my extensions, closed and reopened FF, but it didn't change anything. Had this problem with Brave too and it got so bad it was inopperable and had to delete it. I'm using Google for DNS.

Any help is appreciated

Hello,

In some tabs, my address bar flickers. I have not observed any clear pattern as to why this happens, though I can say for certain that re-doing the browsing steps in a new tab will sometimes solve the issue.

Incredibly odd!

Note that I am on a portable version of Firefox provided by PortableApps Platform.

Regards, Simon

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?

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.

What am I missing? Wracking my brain trying to Figure-out the Conundrum

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.

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?
