I'm using this extension called New Tab Override and just saw that the dev complained a few years back about how it wasn't possible to highlight the url of a newly opened tab and there hasn't : firefox

That's pretty much the reason I'm not using extensions that change the new tab. This annoyance wasn't worth it IMO.

Same here. I feel your pain.

The users using usernames instead of hashtags are confusing to me anyway. Like the rest of the time are they just tagging random users in all their posts?

They're probably trying to mention @Firefox@mozilla.social but there's no such account on that server.

On my server, if I type "@Firefox" it pops up this community as a suggestion

Lemmy communities show up as people on Mastodon, that's why. The hashtags won't reach Lemmy.

[-] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

Yes, but they aren’t trying to post to Lemmy they’re just tagging random accounts.

I’m not understanding what you or the dev are wanting to do, but I also wouldn’t be in a position to fix this even if I understood 🤷‍♂️

@jqubed I really do suck ass at explaining, have the dev of the extension I'm talking about explain it for you: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1409675

@jqubed also, I found another bug with a title that explains the issue way better: "With a custom new-tab URL, opening a new tab focuses the address bar but does not select the text"
