Cannot load links with Firefox

[rottweiller_inc]

My guess is there’s a new security security setting or it defaulted to the strictest setting.

Switch to “brave”. I gave up on Firefox quite a few years ago.

I've tried to notify Firefox, but getting a link for them is a bad joke.

I’m using brave on my phone, still use firefox on PCs though.

If you are in windows10/11, check your “default apps” in windows under system settings and confirm that all the URL types are associating with firefox

It’s an old problem, much older than that below

I suspect that you have a platform (OS) issue or conflict.

Regardless, the web outlines much frustration. Thus, I seriously doubt that it’s either a setting or the update.

BRAVE on my phone has done some funny things since the last update a couple weeks ago.....................

[econjack]

The first is a Forum and, thus far, has not been helpful. I have heard nothing from the second one and I submitted a report two days ago.

[econjack]

The links worked fine up to a few days ago. So this problem is new to my system.

You shouldn't have signed up to be a beta-tester.

[rktman]

Taster or tester?

I stopped using FireFox a couple of years ago because of all the issues. Apparently, they have not progressed.

Firefox no-linky issue ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

[dayglored]

I assumed you are working on a Windows system so I pinged the Windows Ping List, however if you’re on a Mac or Linux or something else, that would be good to tell us.

[dayglored]

BTW, I have Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, all with the latest Firefox, which is my default browser on all of them, all kept up to date, and I have not experienced the issue you describe.

It seems more likely to me that something is broken or out of alignment in your system (and others who have reported it), not necessarily something broken or out of alignment in Firefox itself.

That said, YMMV of course.

[logi_cal869]

As I wrote, the web outlines much frustration.

I’m asserting that you may find more answers there than here since there are MANY details not included in your post (impossible to have a technical discussion).

I suggest finding a tech forum and making a post there which may guide you to a solution, perhaps even at Mozilla’s site itself.

Firefox does drive some sites crazy with it’s cookie thing ,LOL

[linMcHlp]

Whoa

NEVER click on a link in an e-mail message

NEVER click on a link in a text message.

Copy the link. Paste the link into a text editor window, and then examine the link, perhaps edit it - to make it a clean link.

Copy that link in the text editor window.

Paste that link, into the URL address field of your chosen Internet browser.

[Dead Corpse]

Stopped using Firefox about 3 years ago. Just got too bloated and laggy.

Try it in Brave.
