How can I make Firefox iOS automatically redirect to apps?

Firefox for iOS Links

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.

Before it gets stated as a suggestion, I have the “Block opening in external apps” setting turned off
