Firefox Community Forum

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!

OS: Xubuntu 24.04.1 Firefox: All version for quite a long time up through version 135.

In general I have no problem with direct URLs loaded into Firefox, whether from local links or from remote sites.

However, sometimes, possibly as a result of an embedded link in an email, or from a site that pops-up a new instance of the default browser (i.e., Firefox), the URL is mangled with a local filesystem path prepended to the proper URL. The path seems to be one that Firefox accessed in the recent past. For example, a path such as: /usr/local/bin

When the browser starts up, The URL field will show: /usr/local/binhttps://.........

I then have to delete the leading path component before I can access the URL. I'd include a test case if I could find something repeatable that I could post here, but at the moment I don't have one.

Any ideas why this is happening and any suggestions for a way to stop it.

Thanks.

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.

there is now a bug since last update which prevents me from copying material and pasting it into my gmail account on my macbook. This is not a problem on my android phone. Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

I have a URL: https://gnpa.org. When that URL is used, FF or something is appending /#myaccount to it by something. i.e. https://gnpa.org/#myaccount It only happens on FF. How to fix? Thanks for any ideas.

Improved copy and paste of urls in Microsoft Edge

Hi. Mozilla has been my preferred browser since it first came out and up to 3 days ago my use of it has been awesome. But 3 days ago my location started showing as if I lived in Miami instead of Oakland where I actually live. The "problem" is every time I do a search it gives me responses as if I lived in Miami... and i don't.

At the bottom of the page, it says the responses are due to my IP address, so I contacted my internet provider (Comcast) and they tell me my IP address is identified as Oakland, and told me to look else where.

So I am now looking to you. Do you have any thoughts on what the problem might be?

Thanks for any help you might offer. Be well, Joseph

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.
