After using Chrome for a decade and switching back to Firefox, one feature I missed was the ability to right-click and Go to [url] directly, for any selected text that vaguely resembles a URL.

I made Goto foo to approximately replicate Chrome's behavior in Firefox, but it would be nice if no extension were necessary.

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
