Always "Open in Firefox" (not the embedded mini-Firefox)
Every time I click on a link in an email message, some kind of mini-Firefox opens, with only an "Open in Firefox" menu option. I'd prefer to have the full Firefox always open. How may I configure that? Or if it isn't currently supported I'd like to make it a feature request.

Aaargh! It turns out that the email program, "9Folders", has a configuration option: Settings > General > Message body > "Open links" .. which by default is "Chrome tabs" and needs to be set to "External browser". (I'd even looked right past that setting, and somehow didn't cotton on to "message body" and "open links" as being what I was looking for). Sorry for the bother. NOT a Firefox issue. cheers,

Hmm, is this caused by the tab queue feature? Please take a look at the following article and see whether that feature is turned on and, if so, try turning it off:
Open links in the background for later viewing with Firefox for Android
Hi, thanks for the reply. I do NOT have the tab queue feature enabled. Any other ideas? thanks.
Sorry, I haven't seen anything like what you've described.
This is for links in your mail app that need to open in Firefox for Android? Are you sure Firefox for Android is your default browser and there isn't some kind of intermediary app set to handle links?
