After using Chrome for a decade and switching back to Firefox, one feature I missed was the ability to right-click and Go to [url] directly, for any selected text that vaguely resembles a URL.
I made Goto foo to approximately replicate Chrome’s behavior in Firefox, but it would be nice if no extension were necessary.
Maybe it is more visible that way, but the same can be done clicking on open link or open in private window.
Firefox’s ‘Open Link’ feature is quite limited compared to Chrome. For example, try navigating to lemmy.ml using the “[email protected]” link in the sidebar.
Even in cases where it works, it doesn’t preview the link target in the context menu.
I did exactly that and it works.
When I highlight the trailing lemmy.ml and select Open Link in New Tab, Firefox takes me to https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] (the original link target) instead of https://lemmy.ml
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I don’t know what wrong with your browser set up but it takes me properly to lemmy.ml
