Firefox Community Forum

Whenever I search something and there is a youtube video included in the search results, all links direct to that video. In the example image it show me hovering over a website link and in the bottom left hand corner it instead tries to open a youtube link at the bottom of the page.

Hello I have a problem, namely at work when I click a link to a photo, the Firefox browser open a new tab but displays nothing (white background), but when I hover over the link and click enter, what should appear is what should be there. Where in the settings can I change it so that such links do not have to be approved by enter.

Recently Mozilla had the brilliant idea of doing something they've done before...obscuring the URL/Address from the user. So now when you search the URL bar never shows the address your query is sent to because "usr 2 stoopid, need dum." Mocking aside how do you disable this trash. I just came back to Firefox being fed up with Mozilla pulling idiotic pointless weekly UI/Behavior rug pulls like this and...well some things never change.

a few months ago, i built a new computer and upgraded to windows 11. but i have been having a bug where after resuming use of a firefox window, i will at some point lose the ability to left clicks links or to type in any fields on the page. for my mouse, i can still properly left click web buttons, like the youtube players, and i can left click tabs to switch between them. right and middle click still work correctly as well. for the keyboard, i can use keybinds on my keyboard (ctrl-tab/ctrl-shift-tab/ctrl-a) or hit space bar/page up/page down to navigate, but typing in fields just doesnt work. this bug happens after some random point of using the program, so it could happen after 10 seconds or 10 minutes.

the only way to fix it is to switch to a different program momentarily, whether that be alt tabbing to a non firefox window or clicking the desktop. ive just tried switching all my extensions and everything off with troubleshoot mode, but still experienced the bug. ive also tried different keyboards and mice in different ports and had the same issue persist, so i dont think its my peripheral software since i used generic keyboards too.

does anyone have any suggestions on what could be happening here and if anyone is experiencing the same issue? its very frustrating

After the recent update, the buttons on the url-bar-search for searching in bookmarks, tabs or search engine, are gone and turned into a drop down. This kinda sucks. the buttons were perfectly fine; one-click.

Any way to get the buttons back?

Not sure if the problem is accessibility or settings is the best category.

When I try to load the print replica link for the daily newspaper in the email, the page doesn't go to the correct link. Instead it goes to a general page for help, editions, games, etc.

I also checked my email on Safari and the newspaper link for the daily print replica worked.

Something isn't working on Firefox and I need help correcting the problem. I could use Safari but I am accustomed to Firefox and have a lot of stuff on Firefox.

I have a copy of the incorrect page and would like to send the image but think it might make my email vulnerable.

Please help to resolve this issue.

My problem is as described in the subject line: I'm getting multiple instances of Firefox opened when I click links from email or web pages.

This just started happening within the last couple of days. In the past, whenever I opened a link a new window was opened in the already open instance of Firefox. Somehow some setting has been changed (a guess) that has caused a change in behavior.

Firefox is my default browser, but I do keep Chrome open for some testing of HTML/CSS I'm writing. Chrome is NOT my default browser.

I did some searching without finding anything I understood well enough to implement.

I would appreciate any help with this issue as having multiple instances of the app running is driving my octogenarian brain nuts.

Hi :-)

What's the difference between Restricted Domains and Quarantined Domains?

Why are there 2 keys ( extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains and extensions.quarantinedDomains.list ), and why have they to be handled differently?

Windows 11, v23H2

After the last update, I have a problem opening some links just with a left click. Most open fine, but on some sites, I can open the site fine, but all other links have to be opened in a new tab. Sometimes, I can't even get that menu to come up, so I have to save the link URL and open it in a new tab manually.

I have my browser set to open all tabs in a new window, so that's not the problem.

It's very annoying, especially when I'm trying to get something done quickly.

How do I fix this? TIA

Can I please get an explanation for this

link text

When I click in the search field, outside of the text, I only want to bring the search field into focus. I don't want it to highlight anything.

When I single click on a word, I'm trying to edit, 'not 'highlight.

When I double click on a word, I'm want to highlight only that word. A triple click would highlight everything.

Is that possible?

Altering these to false does nothing: browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll , browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll

With HTTPS only Mode I notice that the "s" does not appear in the address bar like before. Should it be there? For instance, when on a secure site, before signing in I always look for a closed lock and the "s" in the web address indicating the site is secure.

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.

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.
