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!

Words duplicating, cursor jumping into the middle of words while typing in some fillable fields

I am using Firefox version 151.0.2 on android version 16, but I have been having this issue for months, since before 151.0.1. In some fillable fields on some sites, words duplicate as I type and/or the cursor jumps into the middle of a word. This is most frequently triggered by backspacing but can also happen when using numbers or symbols, such as when filling in a date with slashes or dashes. I've also witnessed it happen seemingly randomly.

Some situations in which this has occurred: -the tag field when creating or reblogging a post on the browser version of tumblr -the birth date field on my state's DMV website when trying to renew my car registration -multiple billing fields when trying to enter card information on a ticket vending site -this text box, the one I'm typing in right now to report this issue. Backspacing and using these dashes for this list both triggered the bug during the course of writing this up.

This has gone from merely irritating to actually being an obstacle (in the DMV example I could not get the field to accept any date format without duplicating and had to use the little popup calendar to select the day instead. What if that had not been a option?). My phone says both its software and Firefox are up to date. What else can I do?

Hi everyone, I'm Ekin. Firefox is by far my favorite browser, and I proudly use it accros all of my devices. However, the lack of support for theme extensions on Android- especially on tablets- is a really frustrating limitation for me and many other mobile users. The standart UI can feel a bit plain on larger tablet screens. I would highly appreciate it if you could consider bringing full theme and extension support to the Android version. Specifically, having the ability to use animated themes and tab customizations (like the classic Nyan Cat theme) would make the mobile experience incredibly fun and and dynamic. Thank you for your hard work, and I hope to see this feature in the future updates. Best regards, Ekin

Composable Toolbar causing keyboard to get stuck open when launching from homescreen widget and sometimes when website autoshows keyboard

Using the home screen search widget with the composable toolbar enabled(which can't be disabled anymore) on LG G8 causes the keyboard to open as usual but will not dismiss with the button or completing a search where it will attempt to dismiss but fail halfway through animation and block part of the screen.

Reproduce-able with these steps on LG G8: 1 Close Firefox 2 Open search widget from home screen 3 search something in url bar 4 Press Enter 5 Go to homepage, screen off, take a screenshot, or click on another text input box to make keyboard go down, sometimes with glitchy animation.

Not sure the exact cause but it also happens when browsing normally, i think its when a website loads and opens keyboard on its own.

Doesn't seem to happen on Samsung A16

I have now tried every fix available that I have found online and none of them match what I am experiencing. If I am browsing on my phone and want to save it as a book mark i am unable to choose where to save it under my bookmarks. It just says save to bookmarks. Now i try and find that bookmark on my laptop but to no avail. The Mozilla bookmarks are terrible and unfortunately to say here EDGE kicks Mozillas butt. Both Laptop and Phone are on my only profile. I then also found that the search history is limited and wont show all history. Tried all fixes on web. Not one works. May have to revert to EDGE.

On android phones, you can disable the gesture hint (white bar at bottom of screen). Other apps I have tried while having it disabled have no issue. With Firefox however... when gesture hint is off and i swipe up from the bar, my finger is technically swiping at the address bar, which (aside of sending me to home - because that's what the up gesture does on the bottom) opens the tab switcher.
