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.

Hi, I have noticed that recently the URL link in the posts, and the video in the post are not displayed when using X (formerly Twitter). Initially I thought my security software blocked the contents, but I do not have such issues when used another web browser on the same PC, or the app on my Android.

Could you please let me know how to fix these? I have a lot of bookmarks and passwords saved, so I do not want to lose them.

Thank you for your help in advance!

There is a very weird issue I am facing, especially on Instagram and VK, where if I click on any link inside those sites and the link opens on the same page, the tab title remains the same instead of changing to the new link's title.

Hallo, ich habe im Zusammenhang mit dem Übergang zu Windows 11 das Office 2024 Pro installiert. Dabei haben sich zwei Probleme gezeigt: 1. Für das versenden von Links mit Emails habe ich in den Einstellungen "Allgemein" unter "Anwendungen.mailto" das Programm OUTLOOK (classic) in beiden von mir genutzten lokalen Konten zugewiesen. In einem der beiden Konten wird im Gegensatz zu dieser Einstellung immer zu der Aufforderung zur Verbindungsaufnahme mit einem Microsoft-Konto verlangt. Zu einer Anzeige des Outlook-Sendefensters kommt es nicht. Welche Ursache kann es dafür geben und wie kann ich das Problem beheben? 2. Wie in dem beigefügten Bild dargestellt, erscheint bei der Nutzung der mailto-Funktion in beiden lokalen Konten diese Fehlermeldung, die bei normaler Nutzung von Outlook nicht auftritt. Meine Internet-Recherche zu dieser Fehlermeldung hat leider nichts greifbares ergeben. Könnt Ihr mir weiterhelfen? MfG, R. Ziegler.

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.

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 ~

Hello, I would wish to return to the old view in full, that is, complete spelling of the true complete url, including "http" or "https" in the url that shows up in the address bar for any website. It looks like mozilla decided to hide the "http" and "https" just because it is automatically verified, but I am not happy with it being hidden. How can I set it back to always show up by default? Thanks a lot in advance.

Can't Select text from some input fields

This worked in a previous version. It seems to be a change to the UI

Example: the search entry field at the top of a result set in duckduckgo

see https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=style+background+color&ia=web

That is an example. Not the only example.

In order to select the text one needs to access the context menu (right mouse) and choose select all. A month ago I could just use CTL A, which when you are an average or better typist is faster than using a mouse.

Of course on some fields it works. The main duckduckgo page does allow me to use CTL-A, but on that page it is not useful.

basic troubleshooting info:

Via C > Users > User > Appdata > Roaming > Firefox > Profiles >x73axdaw.default-release> storage > Default I'm presented with my various website stored info. What I'd like to know is how via the files I can discover the relevant url if able. For example in the screenshot noclip.website is a valid url, other option not so.

Metadata doesn't seem to be helpful and can't find out a "target url" looking through other files.
