Forum Bashkësie Firefox

This worked in a previous version. It seems to be a change to the UI

Example: the search entry field at the top of a result set in duckduckgo

see https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=style+background+color&ia=web

That is an example. Not the only example.

In order to select the text one needs to access the context menu (right mouse) and choose select all. A month ago I could just use CTL A, which when you are an average or better typist is faster than using a mouse.

Of course on some fields it works. The main duckduckgo page does allow me to use CTL-A, but on that page it is not useful.

basic troubleshooting info:

Name Firefox Version 134.0 Build ID 20241230151726 Distribution ID mint-001

System:

 Kernel: 6.8.0-51-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0 clocksource: tsc
 Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.4.6 tk: GTK v: 3.24.41 wm: Muffin v: 6.4.1 vt: 7 dm: LightDM v: 1.30.0
   Distro: Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble

I have a development copy of my website that I run directly from my local disk. I have indexes with links to pages that I load in frames. When the target is another frame, the link will not work. This stopped working when I did the last update to Version 134.0.1 The links work when I load my online version from HostGator.

Since installing Firefox on Ubuntu 24.04 from the mozillateam-ppa, I can't simply open normal files like .pdf with my preferred OS-application (evince) by clicking the link. Instead a "File Link" handler (see attached image) opens for any such file, be them .pdf, .odt or whatever, and this handler only knows one default and has to be told all possible applications by hand.

How can I configure to Firefox to open any file by the preferred OS-application.

FF sometimes doesn't open links from email, and sometimes other links in a site. Frustrating when I need that download but can't get it. I disabled all my extensions, closed and reopened FF, but it didn't change anything. Had this problem with Brave too and it got so bad it was inopperable and had to delete it. I'm using Google for DNS.

Any help is appreciated
