Can't copy links to songs

Windows 10

I've been using Spotify via a web browser (firefox) for about 2 years now and I've had no problem copying links before. I use last.fm and I tend to add spotify links on their website when missing. About 2 weeks ago, I was trying to copy a song link and I didn't get that blue pop up at the bottom saying "Link copied to clipboard". The other day I started to get the pop up but no link is in my clipboard. I tried signing in/out, refreshing my browser but still nothing. I really don't want to download the spotify app on my laptop because it 1) takes up space and 2) I don't like the layout.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there @technomaster45,

Thank you for your post in the Community. Let's take a closer look into this together.

Can you start with removing cache and cookies? You can also try a different browser to see if the issue persists.

Let us know how it goes so that we can continue to assist you if you need us to 🙂

Take care!

I removed cache and cookies in firefox but I still can't copy links. I signed in on google chrome and I can copy links. It's weird copying links just stopped working in fireofx.

Hi again @technomaster45,

Thank you for your reply and confirmation.

Can you make sure that you're running the latest version of the browser?

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

Cheers 🙂

Apologies for the late reply, I thought I had replied. I'm running the latest version of firefox.

Thank you for the reddit post. Apparently about:config can cause some breakages? To make things simple, I've learned to drag the track into a new tab and copy the url. A little extra work but It works for me at the moment.

My Question or Issue:
Ever since a few weeks ago, clicking share > copy song link on a track/artist/playlist doesn't copy to clipboard successfully. I tried disabling internet security, resetting browser, installing new ones. It simply doesn't work even if I'm not logged in. I have no other clipboard issues with any other site or service.,

It also happens to me. I'm using Firefox on Windows 11 Premium Plan. Tested in all forms, no extensions, default settings, but I still can't share a link.
