Hello, since recently when I click on links in external programs like mail or shortcuts, etc... Firefox starts up but does not open the link. If Firefox is already running the links open normally. I never had this issue before and I have it on my 2 computers. Firefox is synced to both computers but different OS. (no problems on ios) I tried to disable all extension : no change.

I am on MAC OS 12.6.3 or 13.3.1 Firefox 117.0

Could be about this longstanding bug on Mac when you open an external link when Firefox is not running.

This should be fixed in the latest Nightly (Bug 1850828). It would be super helpful if you could install it and test to confirm that it works.
