Description

Links that are launching third party apps are sometimes considered not from user gesture.

This to works with Chrome, Firefox Nightly(68.4a1), and older versions of Fenix.

Please investigate if this is the correct behavior.

Hi Roger. Can we please get a more comprehensive STR here so that we can understand exactly what your problem is here?

Hi Emily, the way to reproduce is to tap on the link I put in the description in the browser. In Chrome it will redirect to Google Play Store (though the app doesn't exist) but in Fenix or Focus it will fail to redirect. I'm not sure https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1600704 will fix it. But while debugging this issue, the redirect from app.adjust.com is set as not from user gesture and thus Android Components side code doesn't try to redirect to an external app.
