Firefox for Android: Fails to open native YouTube app on JavaScript redirect (window.location.href)

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.

I love firefox mobile, however there is one element that drives me absolutely crazy while using it. I want to use the Homepage Shortcuts feature because I like the idea of pinning my most frequently used sites for easy access when I launch a new tab. HOWEVER the shortcuts screen decides that its a great idea to just list every website I have browsed on it. This is completely abysmal and clutters it up. It makes me shut this feature off completely and just use a black empty screen as my new tab page. Turning off the recently visited toggle makes ZERO difference. Please for the love of God fix this awful design decision and put the power of our homepage and new tab page back into the hands of the users. The sponsored ad thing was bad enough but maybe if people had more control of every aspect of what they get to see they might actually use the Homepage Shortcuts instead of disabling it entirely.

I didn't intentionally do anything to either Firefox or bitwarden but, today, the bitwarden extension suddenly no longer works. I got an error saying that I must use Firefox for Android which is, of course, what I'm using. Wifi? But, I can't get back to that screen to take a screenshot.
