I am using Firefox for Android. I normally use ChatGPT in Firefox instead of the Android ChatGPT app.
I found a reproducible issue with chatgpt.com and the Firefox setting “Open links in apps”.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install the official ChatGPT Android app.
2. Open Firefox for Android.
3. Go to Settings > Open links in apps.
4. Set it to “Never”.
5. Open https://chatgpt.com.
Actual result:
The website connects, but the page content is blank.
6. Change “Open links in apps” to “Ask before opening”.
7. Open https://chatgpt.com again.
8. When Firefox asks whether to open the external ChatGPT app, tap “Cancel”.
Actual result:
The ChatGPT website loads normally inside Firefox.
Then I uninstalled the ChatGPT Android app.
After uninstalling the app, Firefox no longer shows the external-app prompt. However, chatgpt.com becomes a blank page again, regardless of whether “Open links in apps” is set to “Never” or “Ask before opening”.
Expected result:
If “Open links in apps” is set to “Never”, or if I tap “Cancel” on the external-app prompt, chatgpt.com should load normally in Firefox.
This looks like a Firefox for Android compatibility issue with Android App Links / external app handling for chatgpt.com. It may also involve the website fallback behavior, but the blank page seems to depend on Firefox’s external-link setting.
