Hi everyone,I’m hoping to get some insight into a frustrating issue I’ve encountered since updating to Firefox 156.0 (64-bit).
Prior to this update, clicking the "Learn More" bar on a Facebook Reels advertisement would consistently open the advertiser's website in a new tab. Since the update, this behavior has broken:
Overlays instead of new tabs: Clicking "Learn More" now frequently opens a contact form or internal Facebook page directly over the ad, rather than launching an external tab.
Instant tab crashes/disappearing tabs: On certain advertisements (for example, Subaru Australia), Firefox attempts to trigger a new tab, but the tab immediately closes and disappears roughly one second later.
I only click these links when I am genuinely interested in a product (like shopping for a new car), and I prefer to review them in a separate tab.
Because this was working perfectly right up until the Firefox 156.0 release, I am trying to narrow down the root cause. Could a default setting have changed in the new Firefox update (such as strict popup blocking or tracking protection stripping ad parameters), or is this a simultaneous coding change made by Facebook to force users to stay on their platform?
(Note: I've attached a screenshot of the page overlay I now commonly see instead of the external link.)Any advice on settings I can tweak to restore the old behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
