Prevent Firefox Android from opening Twitter app

dixonte

I am moving to a new phone. On my old phone, Firefox can browse to links on twitter.com without opening them in the native app. This is what I want. I have been unable to get the same to happen on the new phone.

As far as I can tell the versions are the same, and I've been through the settings. Both phones are set to not open links in native apps. I have disabled "open by default" for Twitter on the new phone, even though it is not disabled on the old phone.

How can I prevent Firefox from launching the Twitter app?
