Firefox Community Forum

I am using Firefox Developer Edition version 154.0b5 (latest according to settings) and when I try double clicking or use ctrl + A, the url won't be selected (or parts of it if I try something selecting something specific). Double clicking doesn't work at all.

Is this a bug?

IF I click on a link in, e.g., a Disqus comment -- say, if I click on https://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2026/Items/Jul01-4.html THEN the Firefox response is to send me to, e.g., https://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2026/Items/Jul01-4.html:1K9Y2syRo30ousOmB06EENUd6jg Of course, the outcome is a "404 Not Found" error message. So exactly WHAT is the point of FF adding ":garbagecharacters" to the end of URLs, since doing so utterly *incapacitates* the functionality of "clicking on an embedded link" ?

Hi, it looks like Firefox can copy links from selected tabs, using right-click menu. It doesn't work for non HTTP(S) addresses though, such as "file:///C:/Users/USER/etc."

Is it possible for non HTTP(S) addresses?

The add on Export Tabs URLs by AL is very good, has the option for non HTTP(S) addresses, but I couldn't get it to work for selected tabs, is it possible for selected tabs?

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.

This is a brand new problem, for me. It just started today when using FireFox. On nearly all websites, including Mozilla support, when I click on an embedded link on a site, firefox asks me to select an app to open the https. Even if I tell it to let firefox open all https, it still asks me everytime. to make it better, it still doesn't always let me open the link and I go through the same thing when I click the link again.

This also happens when clicking on the search box in *any* search engine, e.g. Google, Startpage

See the image below.

I've attempted to change all cookie & tracking settings, no help. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

This is making FireFox useless.

I had to use my default browser, Brave, just to submit this question. I only use FireFox for social media accounts, sites I need to link to my sm accounts and the occasional web search. For example, linking my Etsy shop to facebook. When I clicked the link "link to facebook" is when I noticed this problem.

A recent update (https://windowsreport.com/firefox-fixes-an-8-year-old-windows-bug-that-broke-virtual-desktop-use/) has broken behavior I previously depended on as part of my workflows: If I clicked a link in one desktop, it would open that link in the browser instance on the last desktop I'd used, so I could keep all my browser windows on one virtual desktop full-screened for easy viewing, then slide back to my other workspaces for messaging/writing/etc.

Now, apparently as a bug fix, every time I try to open a link on a desktop, it creates a new Firefox instance in that desktop instead of opening the link in the browser I have open on other workspaces. This has dramatically impacted how I work. How can I restore the previous behavior? It is so disruptive having new windows opening all the time instead of keeping them in my dedicated browser workspace. If there isn't a fix for this, I will need to move to a new browser.

Starting for last few updates (on the last month) each time I hold my mouse click button for a few seconds on any page I am greeted with this popup: (see attached)

Main question: How do i disable this popup?

Second, what is the feature even about? why is it a feature? and what is the point of it?

About: Firefox 146.0.1 (64-bit) - FF for Arch linux

Hi. When I click on the arrow to go back to previous page, nothing happens. This occurs on any website I am connected to. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Alan

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.

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.

When i try to drag a text/word/link to between tabs (i generally have 10 tabs open) it opens a new tab at the far right. I tried to change "browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" but it just opens the new tab next to the tab that i'm viewing. For example, when i'm at the sixth tab and i want to open a new tab (by dragging) between third and fourth tabs it opens that tab on the far right. This wasn't like that before how can i change it?

Have new W11 laptop. Installed Firefox and have set it to my default browser but if I use the search box it opens the results in Edge. Where is the setting to enable W11 search box to use Firefox.

Hi – When I type a URL into the address bar, I get a list of suggestions for autocomplete. I can select the site I want, hit enter, and go to that site, or what I usually do is hit command+enter, which opens the site in a new tab. But for the last couple days, when I hit command+enter, the autocomplete deselects and I don't open a new tab. For example, if I type "go," the autocomplete suggests "google.com," I hit command+enter, and the current tab I'm on goes to "go.com."

This is really a pain because it's a very natural part of my workflow to go to websites in new tabs. Of course I can just open a new tab and type in the URL there, but I'd love to be able to keep using my browser the way I'm used to. Is it possible that I made a change to my settings accidentally? I can't find anything in the Firefox settings but I imagine i must have done something. I did check and none of my keys are stuck or anything.

I'm on MacOS Monterey, Version 12.7.2, and my Firefox is version 136.0 (64-bit)

Thank you very much!

A video of what is happening . This only happens when I search something up, for example, if I search more than one thing up on Pinterest, Google and sometimes Youtube . . . I'm sure it's not related to any extensions, the only one I installed recently was Privacy Possum, but after noticing this issue I deleted it and it didn't resolve the issue.
