I recently installed Firefox Dev on Arch Linux (didn’t use pacman, downloaded it and linked it myself) and I’m running into a problem where every time I open a link from an external application many things such as images and some js elements won’t properly or at all. I believe this is caused by firefox saving the site to a local path and opening that for some reason. I’ve never tinkered with firefox before, so I’m not sure how to approach this issue.
It completely breaks some sites such as osu’s main site as seen in this screenshot:
This likely happens, because in recent versions the same-origin policy has been strengthened for file:// URIs. file:// URIs are now not allows to load other files (CSS or JS) from the file system.
However, the problem here may be why local files are even opened.
How would you go about changing the way firefox opens urls? When I was googling my problem I found that some people needed for firefox to not block opening local files (or something along those lines). There must be a way to do the opposite and make firefox go back to opening them normally, especially in Dev Edition.
