Currently using Firefox Nightly version 111.0a1 for Android now when trying to open a link in another app it always shows a popup to confirm.

This was not present in previous releases and I don't know if there is a way to prevent this popup as it makes it uncomfortable. Is there an option I may be missing to disable this feature? If not, could an option like this be introduced?

Thanks and regards

This is so incredibly annoying. Sometimes I will get the dialog box 2 or 3 times in a row, before I'm finally able to get the targeted app to open.

I haven't been able to find a way to disable it, but there must be one in about:config somewhere, right?

Are there any way to disable this new "feature"? I am not able to. log in to my bank since this warning appeared.
