1809268 - Cannot prevent webpage from jumping into third party apps with NO fallback url

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: General, defect)

Description

[Christian Sadilek [:csadilek]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/22453.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open fenix, with the default false value of "open links in apps" in setting.
2. Visit the webpages which try to call third party apps with no fallback urls, e.g. m.jd.com
3. JD app will be opened if installed.

Expected behaviour

When the setting of "open links in apps" is set to false, the call of third party app should be stopped.

Actual behaviour

JD app will still be opened even though the setting of "open links in apps" is set to false.

This should be fixed in v111 since we now prompt user before redirect to the app.
