I use a note keeping app that saves copied snippets from the web with the source URL. I've noticed that Firefox has recently started stripping URLs - the SourceURL field now only contains the domain in the html format payload.

For instance if I copy a snippet from a wikipedia page in Firefox and view the HTML format information stored on the clipboard, I see:

Version:0.9 StartHTML:00000133 EndHTML:00000344 StartFragment:00000167 EndFragment:00000308 SourceURL:https://en.wikipedia.org

Cat

Previously, the source url field would contain the full URL for the page, and if I try in Edge, it still copies the full URL for instance:

Version:0.9 StartHTML:0000000150 EndHTML:0000001067 StartFragment:0000000186 EndFragment:0000001031 SourceURL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat

The text/x-moz-url-priv field also only contains the domain now instead of the full URL. Is there a setting or something to restore the previous behavior of storing the whole source URL to clipboard?

After a recent update - I can no longer copy a title from an article and get the full URL to paste in OneNote.

For example with this article - If copied it and pasted it in OneNote it would appear this way

How to Link Notes in OneNote (2026) From <https://www.usecarly.com/blog/how-to-link-notes-in-onenote/>

But now I get this:

How to Link Notes in OneNote (2026) From <https://www.usecarly.com>

I made no changes to OneNote and in settings there: Include link to source when pasting from the Web is checked.

This function is working in Chrome as usual. But no longer in Firefox.

What setting can I change?

Thank you

Hi. I have noticed over the last few weeks, so maybe related to the 155.

If I am on a website with links the browser doesn't respond to many links, in fact no links most of the time.

This only happens usually after the first link has worked. There is no data in the status bar for the link.

If I close the link I have opened, always in a new tab, then other links will then work.

It is as it the details of the URL path are not being recognised, almost like something is saying : Hey you are already looking at this site don't be greedy and expect me to open multiple page with the same domain.

I did see a similar query a while ago but can't find it.

So not a critical problem.

Oh yes. When this happens I also cannot right-click to open in a new tab as an alternative.

Thanks

Hope everyone is having at least a half decent day. :)

Seemingly any program that has links that when clicked there, redirect and open a new tab in your browser just, do nothing now that I've swapped to Firefox? No indication or response on Firefox, it just acts like nothing happened. I don't even know why something this simple would break, let alone what WOULD break it.

The recent changes to the right-click menu on YouTube are a backward step. The menu is now cluttered with options I don't use, while the useful “Open in New Window” option has disappeared. I regularly use this function and having to use Shift+click instead is unnecessarily inconvenient. Please consider restoring “Open in New Window” to the context menu. Not every new feature is an improvement, and sometimes the simple, familiar options are the ones users actually want.

When I am in a web page and am asked to link to another URL using the standard link system, it never works. It is a black image framing choices of which browser I want to use and "Firefox" is usually highlighted. When I click on the link, nothing happens. I want to know how to make it work, because the actual URL is seldom if ever listed. I'll send an image to help (I hope).

MacOS: If not already running, Firefox does not load requested URL on launch MacOS 26.5.2, Firefox 152.0.4

How to reproduce: 1) Set Firefox as the default browser 2) Completely quit Firefox 3) Open a URL (e.g. open Spotlight, type a query, select "Search the web", or any of the many other ways) 4) Observe Firefox opens but does not open a tab with the externally requested URL

This used to work fine. It still works on Windows. Reproduced on two different Macs. If Firefox is already running, it works as expected.
