Steps to reproduce:

When I search for anything on Google via the address bar, or click any links in a Google search result, firefox asks me if I would like to open in another app. This happens even when there is no other app - its just a Web page.

Actual results:

When for example I open a new incognito tab and search for something, I get the Google cookie/terms page, and when clicking "accept all" I am prompted to open this in another app. If I click "accept", it opens in a normal (non-incognito) tab.

Expected results:

If the "other app" is Firefox, do not prompt.

This seems strange to happen on google search.

Roger, do you know what information we should be asking the reporter in order to get a better idea how to triage this?

Hi :rich,
Thanks for reporting this. I would like to help fix this problem. However, I can't reproduce the issue. Can you please give us more information on how to reproduce it? (A video would be even better)
Do you have multiple Firefox Android versions installed? (ex: nightly, beta and release) Or do you have Firefox Focus installed?
How do you reproduce this? What I tried was this

  1. Open new incognito tab.
  2. Go to www.google.com.
  3. Search something (Ex: Camera).
  4. Tap on one of the search result link.

Didn't see any popup prompting me to open in another app.
Can you please describe in detail how you reproduce it? Thank you!

I was not able to reproduce this issue neither.
Due to the fact the reporter did not provide us more details, and we cannot reproduce this, I'll mark this ticket as invalid.
