Open links in Firefox

There is a problem with the browser. Initially, it looked like firefox was no longer the default browser.

Then I noticed that hyperlinks and buttons stopped working in Firefox itself. And if the link can be followed by a long tap (then the context menu appears), then clicking on the buttons is a problem: it is impossible to log in, send a message, etc.

Also, the buttons in the main menu stopped working. I wanted to see the saved firefox account password (to sync passwords), but the "passwords" page just wouldn't open. So - with almost all browser settings...

What did you do... 1. Checked the phone with antivirus (Kaspersky and Comodo). Phone is clean. 2. Performed a full firefox reset. Now the browser is clean. Links are working. Settings are available.

Can't set firefox as default browser. The browser is selected in the settings. But following any link from any application (for example, from Telegram or Viber) does not open in the browser.

Need help...

Hi

Please can you try setting Firefox for Android as the default web browser. This support article should help:
