Hi all.. I find that other apps regularly prompt me to "unlock Firefox" when I get to a point in them that requires keyboard input. I attach a screenshot of the problem, one in Bluemail and one in MS Excel. I am unable to remove the prompt - by a long press or short - until I type some characters, often a number of characters. Then the prompt disappears. The keyboard is SwiftKey, and I have asked them but they say it's not them. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance. P

Please fix this! I specifically set it in the settings (on Android) so that no websites open in apps. And yet it keeps asking me whether to open them! There’s no option to "don’t ask again".

Here’s an example: I have two accounts on AliExpress — one is logged into the app, the other in the web browser! And I absolutely don’t want it to open in the app, because what for???

Please fix it so that when I have it set in the settings not to open in the app, it really doesn’t open — and doesn’t keep asking like an idiot!?
