I have a link, https://aka.ms/linkedpc, that I'm supposed to enter into my mobile browser. However, the search engine hijacks it, even when I enter the full https:// prefix, and searches for it, returning the results where none of the links is one that I need.

How can I force FF for Android not to go through the search engine?

Hi

What is that address supposed to be for? When I try to open it in a desktop copy of Firefox, it seems to be something to do with Microsoft Phone (maybe)?

No, it's the Phone link linking, nothing to do with Microsoft Phone (probably), but that's not the issue - I just want to try opening the link first, search if that fails. As it is, anything goes through search engine, and I don't want that.
