User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0 Build ID: 20150525141253 Steps to reproduce: Click any Wikipedia link. Actual results: Page on the Wikipedia mobile site is loaded. Expected results: In Chrome, clicking a Wikipedia link gives the option to open the page in the Wikipedia app when it is installed. I'm not sure whether this is a limitation of the Wikipedia app or Firefox.
Firefox is a http browser. Kicking out URLs out to a dedicated app can be done by tapping on the android icon in the address bar. We intentionally have this behavior.
