Any else seeing this lately?

1. **Navigation Issues**: Firefox fails to correctly navigate forwards or backwards through browser history. It often does not load the intended previous page, skips pages, or refuses to load a page entirely, requiring the user to close all tabs and manually re-enter the URL.

2. **Loading Issues with External Links**: When opening links from external applications (e.g., email clients), Firefox frequently fails to load the expected webpage. Sometimes, it does not load any page, or it loads to a blank or the home page despite the URL being visible and highlighted in the address bar.

Hi m4dc4p,

  1. Can you confirm if this sounds similar to your issue? If that's the case, you may want to update to Firefox 123 that we released just recently.
  2. This sounds similar to this bug, which the team is still actively investigating.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Yep, that looks like what I'm seeing. Glad it's been reported! I've switched to Safari for now, and hope to be able to come back to Firefox soon!

Unfortunately that second Github issue has been closed, and the links for the "active" bug are in Jira, which I don't have access to (at least, I was gated by login, which I didn't attempt).

What can I subscribe to to know when fixes for these bugs are released?

Oh, I access the Jira link which has a recent update that says this issue should be fixed in 123. Would you please update and let us know how it goes?
