I think this dovetails with upgrading to Mojave but who knows.... big annoyance.

In Mail, mostly, but I think other places. I used to click a link and the browser would open up on the page in one shot.

How it takes two clicks. The first click just shows the blank homepage ( set to Google); then I have to go back and click again, and then the page comes up. Thanks

Had to wait until I got home, and could test in Mojave.

I'm not seeing this. Click a link in mail -> page opens in Firefox. No 2nd click needed.

Try setting different preferred browsers. It could be your current browser, rather than Mail, that's requiring the 2nd click.

The crazy part is once I click on a link, the 2nd time clicking it opens, so you can't test it. But keep an eye out. It not just mail and browser.. and intermittent. Real nuisance.

thanks ok realized too brutal change browers even to test for a week. All passowrds are in Firefox, so insanely draining to have manually enter all these passwords. Also the whole bookmark adding starts from Firefox...

And why is pernicious is this bug, the 2nd click works, so you can't A/B test it.
