Is this still reproducible for anyone?  I just tested on Windows 11 and Windows 10, and I can't reproduce in either.

In Windows 10 (matching the user's environment), I'm using a brand-new installation of Windows 10 with a brand new Firefox 132.0.2 installation.
* If I tap the "Download" button (per STR), it downloads an .exe file.  (If I launch that .exe, I get a self-contained installer that downloads and launches WhatsApp.)  The store does not open.
* and just for completeness -- if I do explicitly tap the Windows-store-icon button, it spawns a prompt from Firefox asking me if I want to allow the Windows store app to handle these links.  The app only launches if I click "Open Link" in that prompt.  If I leave "Always allow" unchecked, then I get the same prompt again the next time I tap the Windows-store button.

So: I think everything is working-as-expected now, unless I'm misunderstanding something?
