When I select a link which runs a local (external) program, the program runs properly but the current Firefox window goes blank/black. I then have to manually refresh (select circular arrow or F5) to see the original page which contains the link.

Is this a known problem with v75?

This problem was first seen after I updated to v75. This problem did not exist in v74, v74.1 or older versions of Firefox. The window showing the Web page containing the link continued to be visible.

Since you just started experiencing this in FF75 I'm going to log it as a bug

Hi seb11:

Please post the name of the (local) external program and the exact steps followed because without those details, Eve won't be able to file a bug that can be actually be fixed.

Cheers!
