Select tool issues launch adobe help website

[Arte5FE6]

Lately with the update to photoshop 26.0.0 I have problems. If I right click on an empty layer (command + left click). I also have the same problem if I make a selection on the canvas, not on the document. Can I block it somehow? It's annoying that photoshop takes me to Firefox, in my case, when I don't ask it for. Someone else have this issue?. Thank you.

I cannot reproduce the issue. 

Have you tried the current version (26.2.0)?

Hi c.pfaffenbichler, thank you for your quick reply.
No I din try the new version. Usually I wait a bit )) But yes, I will try in a few days and cross fingers.

Your advice to upgrade is a good one. Be not afraid, we've had v26.1 released between v26.0 and v26.2.

When I command-click on an empty layer, I get "Warning: No pixels were selected  OK/Learn more."

Hi LAMY2017. I did today (26.1.0 now) and my problems continue... Not a big issue of course, probably local problem. Maybe with other version disappear. Thank you anyway. Also to you, c.pfaffenbichler.

I have to admit I read your original post too quickly. Going back to see what I missed --

• Subj: which "select" tool? Subject, Sky, Marquee, Magic Wand?
• Have you recorded/created an Action recently?
  I can't think of a reason for FF or any browser to open after right-clicking on. layer.
• "same problem if I make a selection on the canvas, not on the document"

Are you saying the layer you're trying to work on is smaller than the canvas (whick is the bottom-most layer, not really a canvas)? In my understanding, the document is the entire file, one or more layers, including the "canvas."

When I right-click (command-left click on my trackpad) on a blank layer, I get the warnning "no pixels were selected." Are you clicking on the thumbnail in the layers panel or the actual document.

Hi again! Thank you for your time Larry. I answer you:

"which "select" tool? Subject, Sky, Marquee, Magic Wand?"

Lasso and square or circle selection. Most used by me.

"Have you recorded/created an Action recently?"

Not I usually import my old ones when I install new versions.

"I can't think of a reason for FF or any browser to open after right-clicking on".

Yes this is the most strange thing ever...

"Are you saying the layer you're trying to work on is smaller than the canvas (whick is the bottom-most layer, not really a canvas)? In my understanding, the document is the entire file, one or more layers, including the "canvas.""

I said badly, I meant, outside the work area (gray zone outside canvas).

"When I right-click (command-left click on my trackpad) on a blank layer, I get the warnning "no pixels were selected." Are you clicking on the thumbnail in the layers panel or the actual document"
Yes this was for me ever but not know... So strange also. And really the problem that disturb me more. Cause I work using tons of layers with tiny peaces inside (for retouching) and sometimes I dont see what is filling a layer, cause of that I use a lot of times cmd + left click over the thumnail to know where are thosee pixels...

Go to Photoshop 2025 (version)>Settings>General, click on Reset All Warning Dialogs, then restart Photoshop and see if the issue is fixed.
