Browser / Version: Firefox 147.0
Operating System: Windows 10
Tested Another Browser: Yes Chrome

Problem type: Something else
Description: In Messenger the message my wife sent me is a URL to a post but the message says "You received a message, but this browser can't show it."
Steps to Reproduce:
In Facebook Messenger my wife sent me a link to https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AwtHN9Hdu/ but in my Facebook Messenger all I get is "You received a message, but this browser can't show it.". I cannot click on the link. She sent me the link on WhatsApp and I went back to the browser and pasted the link in and it works. So something that Facebook is doing to display the message results in Firefox being unable to handle it.
By the way, your system thinks I am on Windows 10 but in fact I am on Windows 11.
I logged not Facebook on Google Chrome with a different Facebook account and looked at the same message she sent me and that too displays "You received a message, but this browser can't show it.". I do not have another browser to test it however a post of a link should at least show the link.
