Mobile Firefox Bug

[Techdont]

Forum URL: (private)
Hi all,

I recently noticed that I'm having a problem clicking on links on mobile if I'm using Firefox. I know that reveg redirect happens if someone is using an ad blocker but my Firefox is not. I've also whitelisted proboards to rule out something else is tripping this but no luck.

Can someone take a look at it during the week?

Techdont - just to confirm, you mean links in posts, correct? Is it happening on just the forum you listed or other PB forums as well? (I assume you have no issue on non-PB sites?)

Hey scott, this is happening on all proboards forums I have tried, not just the one linked. Other sites function without issue.

I have had a browse of your forum using firefox, both on desktop mode and mobile, and haven't expirenced any issues with links. Would you be able provide a little more detail to the problem you are experiencing. For example, is it all links or just external links ( so those that navigate away from the forum ), and what happens when you click on the link? Is this happening on deskto mode, mobile mode or both?

Also, if you try in a private browsing session, does the same problem happen?

Thanks

This appears to only be happening on mobile for only links tgat exit the site.

Is it happening here too (on the support forum) and exactly what is "happening" or not happening?

Oop sorry, I missed a few questions:
2.) What happens when you click on the link that leads externally?
   a.) I get that redirect link from proboards that typically means you're using an adblocker. A redirect.vigilink.com instead of allowing me to go to the website. If I click that link it shows just a black browser tab with one pixel in the center.

4.) Yes this still happens in incognito or private browsing.

Is it happening on support? No it does not appear to be happening on support, but that link is still going to support.proboards.com it's only if the site is not a proboards site if that makes sense? Since the site I'm having an issue with is an RPG and we often link images to credit artists, I'm having the most issue with that.

Are you seeing ads on forums? Does your phone have a private DNS set up that would block ads?
