1832983 - asking to open links with app

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1828454

(Firefox for Android :: General, defect)

Description

[plmrito]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13; Mobile; rv:109.0) Gecko/113.0 Firefox/113.0

Steps to reproduce:

On this Android version:
113.0 (Build #2015948667), e8245df386+
GV: 113.0-20230504192738
AS: 97.4.1

When I click on links, keeps asking me if I want to open the links on a app. I've disable that as I want Firefox to open the links as usually and it ignores ask the options. Keeps asking the same question no matter what!!!

Actual results:

Keeps repeating the question of I want to open the clicked link in s damn app

Expected results:

Firefox opening the links as expected

The browser is not usable as links cannot be clicked without selecting "NO" to the same question if I want to use an app to open the link.
Please next time before creating a problem to users, verify if things are working properly.
As there is no fixing solution for this bug, I'll uninstall this Firefox nonsense and I'll start using Chrome.

It's completely unacceptable a serious bug like this to be left running for a full month without a fix!!!!

I don't understand what needs to be done as I'm not a software technician and it has not been picked up by anyone. Being the case I'm going to uninstall the software and use Chrome.
This is critical and no one can see neither help me to report it. It's ridiculous! I'm done with this .. if no one bothers why should I ?
