Mac Mini Pro M4, MacOs 26.6.1, Firefox 153.0.4 When I click on a "mailto" link I get a pop up that says select an app for mailto. In this popup, Firefox shows as the suggested app. I click on it and I get a message that says This Can Be Changed in Firefox Settings. When i select Firefox in this popup nothing happens. When I look at the mailto setting in Firefox it clearly says Firefox. Help. Thanks, Pete D.

How can I make Firefox iOS automatically redirect to apps?

If I click on a YouTube link in another app, say Bluesky or my RSS reader or something, and Safari is my default browser, as soon as it realizes I have a YouTube link it jumps to the YouTube app.

Firefox instead opens the YouTube link in a Firefox tab, and has an “Open in App?” banner along the top.

How can I skip that middle step? This is pretty annoying.

Firefox iOS won’t redirect to apps

If I tap on a YouTube link in an app like my RSS reader or Bsky, and Safari is my default browser, it launches the YouTube app correctly.

Firefox instead opens the link in a Firefox window with a banner asking if I want to open the YouTube app.

Why can’t I skip the middleman? The only setting I can find is “Block links opening in external apps” which is disabled.

MacOS: If not already running, Firefox does not load requested URL on launch MacOS 26.5.2, Firefox 152.0.4

How to reproduce: 1) Set Firefox as the default browser 2) Completely quit Firefox 3) Open a URL (e.g. open Spotlight, type a query, select "Search the web", or any of the many other ways) 4) Observe Firefox opens but does not open a tab with the externally requested URL

This used to work fine. It still works on Windows. Reproduced on two different Macs. If Firefox is already running, it works as expected.

Is this a bug?

Recently everytime I open a page in Firefox I get the message "Open the be link?" "You'll need to choose an application. Before this I got another dialogue box asking me to open the System Handler, but I managed to get rid of that to be left with this new dialogue box. Very frustrating as it interrupts the use of Firefox. Chris
