Installed Firefox on my laptop. Already running on my desktop.

Whenever I try to open a link, I get: Get an app to open this 'microsoft-edge' link

Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store.

Is this Microsofts way of saying "Use Edge?" Can I change settings to make it work?

Hello, This is definitely an annoying bug because each time I right click a specific tab then "Open a new tab on the right", there's no focus on the url bar. And when I want to type something I have to bring the mouse inside the url text zone and click before typing.

It would really be a nice QoL to have.

Thank you ~

I get the above message when signing into a web site that I use. What does the message "404 INVALID URL" mean, why does it appear and how can I correct it?? I have checked the URL (address I am trying to reach) and it is spelled correctly.

Within my account my location is listed as US. However, whenever I search for Amazon, Amazon.ca appears. I cannot seem to stop or correct it, though I have followed the steps posted here by others. I do not see Canada or CA listed anywhere in my account.

I'm trying to access my printer's embedded web server (EWS) by typing the printer's IP address into the address bar (as instructed by Dell support ). However, when I do this on desktop, Firefox treats the IP address as a search term, and takes me to search results instead of the the EWS. When I tried on Firefox for Android and Firefox Focus for Android, I did not have the same issue, but instead was taken to an all-black page (still unable to access the settings I need!). Any thoughts as to what might be going on and how to fix it?

Google Chrome treats the IP address as a search term on both desktop and mobile, so this might be a problem bigger than 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!

I am looking for a solution that will allow links to open in the same tab rather than tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab. I am also having issue with sign ins opening a new blank tab and not having the ability to sign in at all. I've been using Firefox since I quit Netscape. And yes, I tried many epic fails that were disguised as solutions that don't work. I'm seriously about to give up on this browser if I can't get what I had after a SSD drive fail that forced me to reinstall from the ground up.

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.

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?

Hello, I would wish to return to the old view in full, that is, complete spelling of the true complete url, including "http" or "https" in the url that shows up in the address bar for any website. It looks like mozilla decided to hide the "http" and "https" just because it is automatically verified, but I am not happy with it being hidden. How can I set it back to always show up by default? Thanks a lot in advance.

With HTTPS only Mode I notice that the "s" does not appear in the address bar like before. Should it be there? For instance, when on a secure site, before signing in I always look for a closed lock and the "s" in the web address indicating the site is secure.

After the recent update, the buttons on the url-bar-search for searching in bookmarks, tabs or search engine, are gone and turned into a drop down. This kinda sucks. the buttons were perfectly fine; one-click.

Any way to get the buttons back?

Can I please get an explanation for this

link text

When I click in the search field, outside of the text, I only want to bring the search field into focus. I don't want it to highlight anything.

When I single click on a word, I'm trying to edit, 'not 'highlight.

When I double click on a word, I'm want to highlight only that word. A triple click would highlight everything.

Is that possible?

Altering these to false does nothing: browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll , browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll
