I beleive in the recent versions of Firefox, shortcut keys have been added/changed such that holding the Option key while in the URL Search bar activates other functions (Switching search engines: Option + Up/Down Arrow) and completely disables my ability to move left or right through the URL by word.

Is there any way I can disable this shortcut key combination?

once in a while firefox forces me to double click everything. This does not apply to the top of the window: tabs, URL bar, bookmarks toolbar, extensions all work fine. But everything in the webpage requires a double click. This includes selecting text. A restart makes it go away.

The only extensions I had in use when this happened were uBlock origin, proton pass, and SponsorBlock. Switching into troubleshoot mode fixed it, but after switching back into normal mode it was still fixed, so I can't say that the extensions cause the issue.

I would have just commented on [this related thread](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1038784), but it's archived. I never understood the point of archiving a thread. From now until the end of time when people find that thread when googling their issue, there's no way to give them new information. At least in a github issue it can still include a link to other threads that have mentioned it.

I am running firefox 132.0.2 (aarch64) on macos 15.0 (24A335).

The issue with the slow loading of Youtube videos has been going on for quite some time. It can take 10-30 seconds for a video to completely load. It's not an issue with my PC as everyone I know has the same problem plus it has been documented many times. I hate having to use Chrome to access Youtube videos but I have no choice at this time. Please come up with a solution for this issue.

I have two installations of Firefox. One windows10 and one Linux. BOTH are doing the same thing on this site https://www.rapidonline.com/

I cannot scroll using the mouse roller. Page up/down doesn't work. Middle click and drag doesn't scroll either. BUT, for the briefest of time, BEFORE the Firefox shield in the address bar, I can scroll.

Hovering over the blue shield shows the text... Blocking social media trackers, cross site tracking cookies, and fingerprinters. Turning the Firefox protection OFF makes no difference, other than the shield is white and struck out. Disabling uBlock origin, or malwarebytes makes no difference. Both my installations do the same BUT, I called a pal who also uses Firefox on Linux and windows and he reports all is well and he uses uBlock, but not malwarebytes.

I have not actively messed with my settings on either platform. Oh, I was told to clear the cache. No joy.

Why does Firefox think it is blocking stuff but turning the protection off makes no difference? Why should two separate installations behave identically? Why does my pal's Firefox using Linux work on this site 100% ? I feel like I am going insane...

When I open a URL for example: Le Monde , and I decide to add this URL to home screen using the 'add to home screen' function (picture 1), I am in reality creating a shortcut to an app (pictures 2,3). Actually, I would like to decide whether I create a shortcut to a URL or to an app. I add that in the advanced options of the settings, I declared 'never open links in app' (picture 4). I expected the 'add to home screen' function to respect this setting. I manage to get around this problem by using a third party app that creates a shortcut to the home screen, but I would prefer that the dedicated function in Firefox the works.

Hello everyone,

For some time, I have problems opening links in a new tabs (CTRL+click on link).

Whenever I try, the new tab opens but the web page would either not open at all or only partially. Examples: clicking link A while being on page B leads to C 1. A: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute

   B: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/firefox/form
   C: Unable to connect

2. A: https://www.ebay.com/mye/myebay/watchlist

   B: https://www.ebay.com/?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5339064144&customid=ROWss&toolid=20012&mkevt=1
   C: Unable to connect

3. A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjTO1zeD6r0

   B: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PIar7Fd7WM
   C: page opens, but in the video frame it says 'Video unavailable'

These problems do not appear, when I open links in the same tab. They also do not appear, when I open links in a new tab in another browser.

Thus, it must be some issue with Firefox' 'open in new tab'-function.

Any ideas what to do?


Cheers, Bart
