Firefox android opens a new tab from iframe src
Steps: - create an iframe without src - create click event listener on any other element - set iframe src to on click to some url that supports "go to application" e.g. YouTube embed url
Expected: Iframe shows youtube video on element click
Actual: Firefox asks to open a new tab or open an app, and never shows this in iframe
Fix for developers: Recreate the iframe with the src
It only works on ff android, we spent literally hours to catch this bug

A forgot to say it only happens once per application run per site. So step 0 is to kill the firefox using android app info page
