How to turn Clean Links OFF?

greg225

Firefox has turned Clean Links ON by default. But, that messes up saving text from a webpage into OneNote which automatically saves the link to the page the text comes from. Now all we get is a link for the Home page of the website, making it practically impossible to find the page we need that the text reference is in. This is a deal breaker for using Firefox if this can't be turned off, but no search in Help has given me any info to turn it off. Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is an example: If I am on a web page from this URL https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1617587, and I copy some text from that page and paste it into OneNote, the text looks like

 "Firefox has turned Clean Links ON by default. But, that"
 "From <https://support.mozilla.org>" .

You can see that the link given after the text takes you to Mozilla's Home page, and not to the URL where I copied that text from.

Normally, clean URLs only removes known tracking parameters (like ones starting with utm), not any parts of the path (folder and file names). Something weird is going on, but it probably has some other cause.

Do you normally get a "From" when you copy text in Firefox? I've only seen that on a few sites. If you have a OneNote add-on, it might be able to grab the full URL, but if OneNote is only receiving what's on the clipboard after an ordinary copy, I wonder how it even knows as much as it does. ??

Hi jscher2000 Thanks for your comments. Yes, the "from" is automatically added by OneNote. I'm not using any add-on. This is a Firefox issue, as the same text copied from either Chrome or Brave still shows the full individual page URL in OneNote. And Firefox did also until recently. What is important for me is how to turn the Clean Links function off. I'm surprised that Mozilla is forcing any function onto their users without allowing user control.

To clarify, are you using the clean links option in the context menu when you copy a link?

Hi Paul Good question. No, I can use regular 'copy' or Ctrl c. In fact since I've been using AI to find an answer, I've been in the config and set to false, anything related to 'privacy.query_stripping.enabled'. Now I notice I don't even see the option for clean links in the right click menu. It still isn't resolved though. It's possible there is something else causing the behavior, but it is still related to Firefox and not other browsers.
