Opening a share.google link (maps) no longer work

https://share.google/kVUXU2EtzxFCeVvES

Hi everyone,

I'm currently migrating my Android automation setup (using uiautomator2) from Chrome to Firefox because Chrome frequently drops the accessibility tree. However, I've run into a specific issue regarding how Firefox handles external app intents via JavaScript redirects.

Scenario: A webpage opens a new tab and executes the following script to redirect the user: window.location.href = "https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cad=rja&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLh5orBSaS4";

Expected Behavior (What Chrome does): Chrome detects the YouTube link, automatically triggers the intent to open the native YouTube Android app, and closes that redirect tab.

Actual Behavior (What Firefox does): Firefox simply navigates to m.youtube.com within the browser tab and does not open the native YouTube app.

Additional Context:

I have the "Open links in apps" setting enabled in Firefox settings, but it doesn't seem to trigger for this specific window.location.href redirect.

Because I rely on uiautomator2 for my workflow, having Firefox trap the link inside the browser instead of handing it off to the YouTube app breaks the automation chain.

Is there a known workaround, or perhaps a specific flag in about:config (I can use Firefox Beta/Nightly if needed) to force Firefox Android to respect the deep link/intent and open the native app for this type of redirect?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have Firefox set as my default. When I need to get a library book using Libby, that app takes me to Amazon.com through my default browser. I have been unable to login to check out the books. It asks for the email or phone number and when I select the next step, it clears it and shows that same page again. Now, to get my library books, I must change my default browser to Chrome, check out the book and then change it back.

I cleared cache then cleared data. Neither option changed the outcome.

I'm using Samsung S23 Ultra.

on Android if I go to facebook in Desktop mode, the whole screen is translucent white and i can't press anything. switching to mobile mode no issue.

I don't have any Extension enabled, and i turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection but it didn't change anything.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a strange issue on a website I manage. Everything works as expected in Chrome on Android, but in Firefox for Android some users report layout and image-loading problems that I haven't been able to reproduce consistently on my own devices. I've already checked caching, responsive design, and basic CSS issues, but the reports keep coming in. Has anyone dealt with a similar Firefox-specific issue before, and what ended up being the cause?

Hi, I am using Firefox Beta on my android Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite and a OnePlus Pad 3. Since a recent update of Firefox beta I can no longer enter text into my Hosting UK webmail. If I access my webmail account via Google or Chrome the webmail account works fine. Could Firefox look into this or return to an earlier version that worked

Hello. The PWS dashboard is not loading data and showing a blank screen on Firefox for Android (normal tab). It works fine on private tabs and other browsers. It is a compatibility issue with Firefox's Total Cookie Protection blocking the PWS API data request. Please check the website's data tracking structure to fix this compatibility bug.

when Google share links are sent to me, they won't open in Firefox. I have to copy and paste the entire uRL and open Chrome in order to view them on my android device. Pixel 9

Hi, my local news paper is publishing an on line version.. requires me to zoom & scroll.. but on Firefox Android version when I zoom & scroll, after I remove my finger from the screen, the display reverts to top left corner of the image... The zoom & scroll function works perfectly on Google Chrome... Link. But needs a subscription... https://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=Largs%20and%20Millport%20News&edid=f3655f15-2611-47a7-839b-694ef61e9fb2

Reporting (via the browser) websites that will not let me log in using Firefox has had no effect so I have given up. I use Chrome for any sites that don't work on Firefox. I am just leaving this here because I was asked for feedback.

When using Bing as the search engine, typing in Chinese returns garbled text and malformed URL suggestions. This also occurs when visiting bing.com directly and typing in Chinese into the search box; however, English input works perfectly fine. Other search engines (such as Google, Baidu, DuckDuckGo) do not have this issue. The problem is specific to Firefox—it does not occur on Chrome. I have tried reinstalling Firefox and clearing all data, but the issue persists. However, it disappears when I use an extension to spoof Firefox's user agent to mimic Chrome。However, extensions cannot be used on the homepage, so this issue is essentially unfixable

I've been having an issue for months where I cannot use Amazon on the Firefox mobile browser. Amazon redirect links won't open in the app and I can't use the browser version of Amazon because whenever I try to log in, it just opens up another tab prompting me to log in. Endlessly.

Ive ceared all browsing data (cookies, cache, site data) Set cookies to "Ask to allow" Disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for Amazon Set "Open links in apps" to "Always" in Firefox settings Verified Amazon app is set as default for Amazon links in Android system settings (Open by default → Open supported links is enabled) Reinstalled both Firefox and the Amazon app Tested on other browsers (Samsung Internet works fine with the same links)

When I tap an amzn.to link, screen flashes white briefly (like it's trying to open the app), then dumps me into a new browser tab When I try to log into Amazon in Firefox, I enter credentials, hit login, and it immediately opens a new tab asking me to log in again. infinite loop The "Need Help" link on Amazon's login page successfully opens the Amazon app, so app handoff does work I guess, just not in any useful way that I've been able to find.
