On Firefox for Android beta, there's a critical annoying bug. When you click on a link, any link, it will look as if Firefox will load the web page but suddenly, it goes back to the previous web page. This is incredibly frustrating since it's almost like you're redirected back randomly. I checked this with no extensions enabled as well as even with just ublock origin and privacy badger extensions enabled

I'm using Firefox 145.0.2. Every time I try to get directions from google maps, it asks me if I want to open it in the app. When I say no, it tries anyway and fails.

I don't have the maps app installed. I've set Firefox as my default browser, set open links in apps to never, and cleared the default behavior for the Google maps app. (I don't know why an app I don't have has a default behavior.)

Is there anything else I should try?

Greetings,

In the current version of Firefox, I spotted an issue. I'm inclined to believe it's related to Firefox, as I did not encounter it in other apps/browsers. Whenever I try to edit the text in the address bar, I cannot scroll from side to side. I can only edit within the length of the bar itself.

My device is the OnePlus 12, running android 16 and the latest version of Firefox as of writing.

On a side note, did the developers remove the "select all tabs" feature?

Thanks in advance.

mailto: and tel: links do not open on Firefox for Android (POCO X6 Pro 5G / HyperOS)

Hello, I have a reproducible issue on Firefox Beta for Android on my POCO X6 Pro 5G running HyperOS / Android 15.

When tapping mailto: or tel: links in Firefox, nothing happens. No app opens and no chooser dialog is shown.

The same links work correctly in Google Chrome, so the Phone/Dialer and Email apps are properly registered with the system.

This appears to be related to Bug 1988946, but it also affects Android 15 on HyperOS.


---

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Firefox Beta on a POCO/Xiaomi device running HyperOS.


2. Visit any webpage containing a tel: or mailto: link.


3. Tap the link.



---

Actual Result

No action is triggered.

No Intent Resolver popup appears.

No dialer or email app is launched.


---

Expected Result

tel: links should open the default Phone app.

mailto: links should open the user’s email app.

If multiple apps are available, Android should show a chooser dialog.


---

Device Information

Device: POCO X6 Pro 5G

OS: HyperOS, Android 15

Firefox version: Firefox Beta 146.0b4

Build: #2016126791

GV: 146.0-20251117130030

AS: 146.0.1

Build date: 2025-11-17T13:00:30



---

What I have already tried

Enabled “Open links in apps” in Firefox

Reset Firefox default preferences

Reset Phone (Dialer) defaults

Granted all special permissions (background activity, pop-ups, etc.)

Tested Firefox Stable and Beta

Cleared app cache/data

Rebooted device

Verified that Chrome opens tel: and mailto: links correctly on the same device


---

Additional notes

In HyperOS settings (“Opening links”), Firefox does not receive supported link types.

The Phone app does not appear in “Opening links”, but it works fine with Chrome.

This suggests a compatibility issue between Firefox’s intent handling and Xiaomi/POCO HyperOS on Android 15.


---

Conclusion

This issue is reproducible 100% of the time and affects basic link handling functionality. I am available to provide logs or run additional tests if needed.

Thank you!

Hello, I think I must be getting confused because when I clock on a link, my Pixel automatically opens in Chrome, which is not my default browser (Firefox is). How do I tell my phone to open links etc. in Firefox instead of defaulting to Chrome, even though I already have Firefox set as my default browser?

Thanks! Nancy Yuen

Even though I've never changed my settings aside from the first time I changed them to my preferred settings, for whatever reason, Firefox no longer opens links I tap on in external apps. I changed the settings to do it that way the very first time and it worked fine up until a little while ago. Now, the only way it opens a link in the external app when I tap on it, is if I tap and hold, and then choose that option in the pop-up menu. As I said, in the settings it IS set to open links in external apps, but it doesn't do it anymore.

Sometimes, when opening a link in a new tab, the page does not load and only a blank white screen is displayed. To make the page actually load, I have to manually tap the address bar and press the "Go" button on the virtual keyboard.

In other cases, when the link is supposed to be opened in an external app (for example, a social media app or a banking app), the hang occurs without even showing a new blank tab. In this case, there is no address bar available, so it becomes impossible to fix the issue manually.

I'm having this annoying issue where I search up something and click on a result, the tab reloads and then i gotta click the result again to open it... I've had it happen on two devices (Samsung Galaxy note 10+ and Samsung Galaxy S25) with no apparent fix.

Example, I search up Nintendo and the website shows up, I click on it but it doesn't open the website, it will reload the tab so then I gotta click on it once again.

I use an external torrent app LibreTorrent. When I click on magnet links, FF133 faithfully opens the external app handler. However when I tap the OK button FF very often ignores my tapping. I can hit several times with no effect. I can see a quick circle showing as I tap, so the tap is generating an event, but FF does not react to it. This happens in normal and private mode. Sometimes after a couple or perhaps a dozen or more taps, the OK event has an effect and the external app launches fine.

A very curiously I accidentally noticed that if I tap or swipe the text also showing on the dialog box before tapping OK, the first tap on OK always works! 100% reliable. Something is fishy with event handling.

Repro: FF133 + current LibreTorrent client, then tap of first magnet link at https://webtorrent.io/free-torrents
