Missing Chrome's 'Go to URL' feature
(sh.itjust.works)
A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Firefox's 'Open Link' feature is quite limited compared to Chrome. For example, try navigating to lemmy.ml using the "Firefox@lemmy.ml" link in the sidebar.
Even in cases where it works, it doesn't preview the link target in the context menu.
I just did exactly that, with both the link in the sidebar and the substring “lemmy.ml” from the full “firefox@lemmy.ml” string in your comment. It works different on Firefox, I suppose as a by product of being implemented differently, but it's not less powerful. Your plugin is cool and all, but it's use is extremely niche to save fractions of a second.
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/firefox@lemmy.ml (the original link target) instead of https://lemmy.ml
I don't know what wrong with your browser set up but it takes me properly to 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: !firefox@lemmy.ml
