Firefox 안드로이드 커뮤니티 포럼

Even though I've never changed my settings aside from the first time I changed them to my preferred settings, for whatever reason, Firefox no longer opens links I tap on in external apps. I changed the settings to do it that way the very first time and it worked fine up until a little while ago. Now, the only way it opens a link in the external app when I tap on it, is if I tap and hold, and then choose that option in the pop-up menu. As I said, in the settings it IS set to open links in external apps, but it doesn't do it anymore.

Sometimes, when opening a link in a new tab, the page does not load and only a blank white screen is displayed. To make the page actually load, I have to manually tap the address bar and press the "Go" button on the virtual keyboard.

In other cases, when the link is supposed to be opened in an external app (for example, a social media app or a banking app), the hang occurs without even showing a new blank tab. In this case, there is no address bar available, so it becomes impossible to fix the issue manually.

I'm having this annoying issue where I search up something and click on a result, the tab reloads and then i gotta click the result again to open it... I've had it happen on two devices (Samsung Galaxy note 10+ and Samsung Galaxy S25) with no apparent fix.

Example, I search up Nintendo and the website shows up, I click on it but it doesn't open the website, it will reload the tab so then I gotta click on it once again.

I use an external torrent app LibreTorrent. When I click on magnet links, FF133 faithfully opens the external app handler. However when I tap the OK button FF very often ignores my tapping. I can hit several times with no effect. I can see a quick circle showing as I tap, so the tap is generating an event, but FF does not react to it. This happens in normal and private mode. Sometimes after a couple or perhaps a dozen or more taps, the OK event has an effect and the external app launches fine.

A very curiously I accidentally noticed that if I tap or swipe the text also showing on the dialog box before tapping OK, the first tap on OK always works! 100% reliable. Something is fishy with event handling.

Repro: FF133 + current LibreTorrent client, then tap of first magnet link at https://webtorrent.io/free-torrents

I think it's introduced in a recent change and it's really annoying. Is there a way to disable it? Now I need to do an extra back on the browser to go back to where I came from.
