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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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

Try it in Brave.

Firefox and Microsoft Updates routinely screw up one’s PC. Microsoft is now sending messages announcing aka threatening they will no longer be supporting Windows 10 starting in October. If one’s system won’t run Win 11, they state that you need to purchase a new computer. Yeah right, is Microsoft paying for it?

Anyone know how to get rid of the Edge crap that Microsoft keeps adding after every update?

Get used to it, there is a whole lot of super smart college kids with degrees in Lesbian Dance Theory working for a lot of big companies now, most are just plain dumber than dirt, but some of the proudest morons you will ever meet.

I use quickbooks payroll service for my business and every single time they have one of their super smart idiot college kids do an update, everything goes in the crapper until they get the old retired guy to come in and fix it, usually takes 2 months./

I used to love Firefox instead on IE, but them days are long gone. Firefox is too much hassle and a memory hog.

I use Google mostly now or Opera.

Firefox has been occasionally, though rarely, locking up on my Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon edition. This problem has been present in the last few updates of Firefox. I’m currently on 136.0.2 (64 bit).

No, I don’t want a ‘trivia question’ in my inbox.
