I understand. However, applinks feature itself is a compromise between privacy vs convenience. This is why (with your help on this issue) we've added a prompt last year in normal tabs to prompt the user. Your help of raising this issue last year definitely made applinks safer. We can help the user stay inside Mozilla's ecosystem where we know we protect their privacy and security. However, we need to give the user the choice to use applications that they have already installed even though some of those application could be vulnerable to attacks.
