In Firefox, a magnet link is a link that points to a file on the Internet. When you click a magnet link in Firefox, it downloads the file as usual. However, if you’re using an older version of Firefox, you might run into problems when trying to download files from websites that use magnet links.

The most common cause of this error is a corrupted download. If you’ve downloaded Firefox from the Mozilla website, you can try uninstalling and installing it as an update.

If you see hyperlinks but they don’t work, then it’s possible that there is an issue with the web page. The web page may not be compatible with the browser version you’re using.

In addition, Firefox may not be set as your default browser. If you have another browser installed on your computer, then it may be your default browser. You can set Firefox as your default browser and try again.

If Firefox can’t load websites but other browsers can, it could mean that Firefox is having a problem with its server or facing downtime. You can use an alternative browser and check after some time if the problem persists.
