I use Facebook to track family, close friends, and the local News Stations.
Something has changed, what, I don't know.
to follow a news link to a local TV station, I now have to Right Click and "Copy Link" or choose "Open in New Window" .... obviously, Left Click used to open a New Tab and switch to it immediately.
I have gone over and toggled several Firefox options, but none of them effect this behavior.

Re: Facebook Link issue
That would be annoying. See if your browser had a recent update. If so, Timeshift back and isolate the offending update.

Re: Facebook Link issue
FF gets updated by the Update Manager, it is "always" up todate, as of the time the last update was installed.
when that happened, I don't know, or care.
it just seems strange that Facebook is being effected that way, and also that Firefox got stupid on 3 computers in my domain on the same exact day.... all of the cookies disappeared, and I did NOT do anything to the Security settings.
the Facebook behaviour has been going on now for nearly a month, at least 3 weeks...
I have Facebook Container extension, turned that off, did not change anything

Hello, AZgl1800.
Instead of right-clicking and selecting "open in new tab", you can still press <Ctrl> and left-click with your mouse. Will open in a new tab.
So: <Ctrl>Left-Mouse-Click. (I use it frequently.)

Have not noticed any changed behaviour in firefox 105.0.

Re: Facebook Link issue
I would test your Facebook problem in a new profile. (This is usually the first thing I try when something weird starts to happen.)
