Option to open links from external apps in the background

Hi there,

I really loved the way the "old" FF on Android handled links clicked in external apps by opening a new tab in the background by default without switching to the FF app and showing an (unobtrusive) toaster/popup with the option to immediately switch to FF. This allowed me to open multiple links on the go without having to switch back & forth between the "external" app (mail, news reader, ...) & FF.

Unfortunately this feature seems to be gone with the new FF for Android, so here are my questions:

  • Is it maybe still there but hidden behind some setting I missed so far?
  • If not, are there any plans to bring this back in the foreseeable future or have you decided to completely discard it?

Thanks & best regards, Michael

Hi Michael

Tab queue is not available in this version of Firefox for Android, but may be included in a future update.
