The mailto option for AOL Mail does not produce the correct URL -- it simply opens AOL email but does not create a new mail with the subject link I wish to send like other mail programs. Can this be sent to support to correct please?

Note that I have tried to correct the URL command but have been blocked at all suggest modification points.

My desktop (Windows 10) Firefox just updated to 145.0.1 and the right-click menu is defective. It has a bunch of blank lines, the only options listed are search DuckDuckGo, translate, and use AI. This ruins my browsing experience, since I can no longer open links in new tabs which is my favorite way of looking at newspaper home pages.

I'm having trouble opening urls in a private window from the command line on Windows 11.

Firefox version: 144.0.2

Starting a new private window works fine with "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window

But doing: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window "https://www.google.com"

just opens the link in the last selected window if the last window selected is non private it just opens the link there instead of a new or existing private window

I have also tried with no success: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private "https://www.google.com"

I filled out this form completely to resolve another issue only to come to the section at the lower part of this page. "Troubleshooting Information (optional): We can't automatically get your browser's troubleshooting data, please try these manual steps. "

I clicked the link...silly me...thinking the link would open a modal or popup. it took me to another page, losing everything i typed to ask to get a problem resolved. GGGRRRRRRRR! to put it lightly.

Maybe someone can fix that? I'm likely posting this in the wrong place. But it is posted and I hope the right people see it to not let it happen again.

Oddly, the browser kept the images for the form I was working on, only the typed text was lost.

FIrefox 143 appears to prepend a google link to some links when clicked ... ...

… … and then after a delay load the page with the correct link.

This appears to be something new (or never noticed before) after my MAC OSX upgrade to 26.

Can't tell who's problem it is but it's annoying. Have to try other browsers to know if it's just firefox.

Any insights would be appreciated.

I prefer Firefox to Microsoft Edge - but when I click Read more to continue reading an article in the same page I am on - it opens a new blank tab. then I have to go back to where I wanted to read more - and it is there. But why is it opening a blank page first? i tried changing settings but there is no "Open link in target" - there is just an option to open a new window or tab - when all I want to do is see the rest of the article. it works fine in MS Edge - but as i said, I prefer FireFox. is there a way to fix this?

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.
