Firefox iOS won’t redirect to apps

iOS के लिए Firefox Links

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.
