Hello @dkalpakchi, thanks for the report! I can reproduce the issue with the provided steps, there seems to be a regression on Firefox. I have pinged the team who worked on Internal Linking to investigate further

Little update here - this isn't a regression, but rather a long-standing bug with Firefox. Unfortunately the way Firefox fires events is quite different to other browsers.

There's some spike code here which attempted to fix the issue, but it ended up being non-trivial.

A PR fixing this issue would be very welcome 🙏

Hi and thanks for the update! As a Firefox user, I would very much like to give it a shot and try fixing the bug. I'm new to the Ghost codebase though, so I'm just learning to find my way around :slightly_smiling_face:

I assume you mean a PR to this repo: https://github.com/TryGhost/Koenig?

Just wanted to check back in on this as it is still an issue.

Hi 👋🏻 I've proposed a solution in https://github.com/TryGhost/Koenig/pull/1492 . It's stale and probably needs a rebase now, which I'm happy to do, it just wasn't clear if there was any interest in merging.
