Links or bookmarks for Ancestry.com now go to Ancestry home page no matter where the link points. This just started happening in the last few weeks.
Started recently about the time of lastest Firefox update. I receive Links to comments made about family tree. When I click on the link it takes me to Ancestry home page.
