Up until a few weeks ago, when I clicked on a link in a document, E-mail, Text or other, if Firefox was not open, it would open to my preset homepage and display a second tab with the website that the link took me to. Now, if I click on any link and Firefox is closed, it opens to my preset homepage and DOES NOT OPEN THE LINK! I have to go back to the link and click it one more time for it to open. If Firefox is already open, the links opens normally in a new tab. I changed default browsers to Edge and it works flawlessly; so does Chrome and Safari! Something is wrong with my Firefox and I need Help, please?

Thank you

This should be fixed in the latest Nightly (Bug 1850828).
