Firefox Dev Edition 115.0b2 ignores `browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external` pref on OSX
Firefox DE set as the default browser. When clicking an external link, a new window is opened with one tab, the URL address bar is blank. Restarting in troubleshooting mode does exhibits the same behaviour.
If anyone else can duplicate this issue I will file a Bugzilla report.

What value has your browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external ? Does it make a difference whether Firefox is running or not running ?
Could be this bug:
- 1818194 - Tab does not open when clicking on link in external application and Firefox is closed

Ah nice spot on the bug. Yes I see the behaviour described in that bug too, when Firefox is closed, clicking the external link launches the browser, but the link is not opened in either a new tab in the existing window or a new tab in a new window.
Before upgrading to 115.0b2 `browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external` was set to `-1` to follow ` browser.link.open_newwindow` which was left at the default (`3`). Explicitly setting `browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external` to `3` has no effect and the behaviour is identical.
I will try a complete uninstall and reinstall. Interestingly trying to manually download b3 that is available this morning fails. I had to download in Chrome so I will install and test again.
