No Firefox does not recognise it as a link without the http(s)

Direct clickable links on some forums are changed so they are not clickable (Removing the 'backlinks'). This is done by either removing the http(s) or by adding the links in a code block

With a code block you can double click and then right click to open in a new tab but not with http removed

So you can either double click & copy the link and then paste & go into the address bar or beg whoknows to change future posts with links in code tags 😉
