Not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but possibly not something we can help with, as it does not seem to be a Firefox problem.

Apparently your site is primarily a URL shortening service.

    Uses for Crop.is
    There are a lot of uses for Crop.is out there, but these are the most recognized:
    Lower the character count when texting web address to a mobile phone via SMS.
    Lower the character count for instant messaging services or social networking sites like Twitter where space is limited.
    Share short links in Twitter messages, blogs, microblogs and other social networks.
    Make URLs easier to read aloud using our custom shortened URL for registered users.

I am also not sure about the potential ethical and copyright issues that could occur if you copy and offer downloads of material from external sites. You may wish to look into that further.

As for the website design issues that also is outside the scope of this forum.

Hello, Jhon99. Maybe the question is not exactly a problem with Firefox, but does it. Because some of the ways to solve that problem consist in change meta tags and this consern to Firefox 100%. By other hand I want to inform you that URL shortener services work with URL, that's what we do. I do not offer links from my website, are people how do for his audience. People shorten the link they want, wherever they want. My job is to provide a safe and secure way to download this files without harm the visitor for those links. Again, i do not have any problem with Copyright and ethics. You need to read a little bit more about URL shortener. Unless you are the moderator of this Forum, your answer is out of the scope of this forum too, because you do not answer my question.

Have a good day.
